sit ups

[Guest]

when your doing sit ups on the mattress and sit ups bench do you get the same impact on your stomach?

Sit ups hardly work the abs at all
Not one of the best ones to do

its best to do them on the floor with your knees bent at right angles with your feet flat on the ground and your hands should be resting on your thighs.

still does nothing for your abs lol

what do you suggest then?

things like lying on yur back, something like a tin of beans where yur feet are
Move yur feet over the tin without touching the ground... pretty hard to explain,

another one, use a pull up bar, lift yur legs to 90 degrees and then back down... really slowly

ones i learnt from military guys, really work well
