Stop Doing Sit-Ups: Why Crunches Don't Work

Interesting. Thanks for posting that [:)]

Well, that helps me feel much less guilty. I have never ever done crunches and situps. Riding my horses is a great core workout.

Christinestill -> RE: Why Crunches Don't Work (6/5/2009 10:43:16 AM)
i don't do sit ups cause i think i'm allergic to them. [;)]

LaTigresse -> RE: Why Crunches Don't Work (6/5/2009 12:22:06 PM)
Sounds like an excellent reason to avoid them dilligently!

A pike up on an exercise ball is way more effective, http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/cms/article-detail.asp?articleid=1118 If that is too difficult even just holding a push up position works better than a crunch. Google plank

I swear by sit-ups and I have wicked abs. They're an old school classic that has stood the test of time.

Sit ups never worked for me...walking and cycling on the other hand...[;)]

Those of us with degenerative disc disease have to choose - we can do crunches or we can have the use of our legs. We can't do both :)

Could be his age that accounts for his nice abs too. Not like he's had much time to let them go to pot. LOL

Where the fuck did you get this from??

sirsholly -> RE: Why Crunches Don't Work (6/6/2009 4:00:13 AM)
the safest exercise is a good brisk sit....

Erm, what is a 'crunch'?

GYPZYQUEEN -> RE: Why Crunches Don't Work (6/6/2009 5:48:24 AM)
it is a sit up... or when somone eats potato chips in bed and you feel the need to kill [:@] them GQ

stella41b -> RE: Why Crunches Don't Work (6/6/2009 8:31:15 AM)
I see.. Thank you GQ.. I kept seeing the title of the thread on the boards and it's been bugging me for a few days. I would have asked earlier but it sounded quite painful. I'm so relieved to know that it's a sit up.

If, at age 22, you didn't have great abs, it would be sad. I remember when I first met Generic Dude....21 years ago. He had an awesome 8 pack and never worked out. Now......not so much so.[:D]
