Sit ups and crunches are sometimes used interchangeably, but there are some noticeable differences between these two exercises. The two exercises work the abdominal. If you follow the progressive situps training program. In two months from 16 to 200 sit ups, i didn’t believe it, but thanks to you I did it.

Is anybody going to address the question? Personally, I have done many many crunches and found them to be not that great an ab exercise. Looney Tunes: Reality Check. I vote sit-ups also, v-ups are good laying on the floor with just your lower back touching heels about 6' above the floor and shoulders 6' above the floor as well. Or same position as above, slowly loop your legs around (held together still) in big circles. Or again same position and rock back and forth. • • a little self-conscious • • RE: CRUNCHES or SIT-UPS 3:13PM - in reply to • a little self-conscious •. Try: - lay on back, palms face down underneath butt, lift legs to opposite shoulders (bicycle kick when tired in between sets) - ab roller (straight and to each side) - if you have a chin up bar, hang upside down from knees and lift torso up - hold heaviest dumbbell you can manage behind your head with both hands and rotate your torso - at your cubicle at your (undoubtedly) bunghole job, tighten your abs periodically throughout the day Do these for a few weeks and you will see results, champ • • quickquestion • • RE: CRUNCHES or SIT-UPS 9:24PM - in reply to • quickquestion •.

We take a fitness test every semester that consists of as many pull ups as you can, as many sit ups as you can in 2 minutes, and a mile and a half run. I believe the record for sit ups is in the 110-120 range, so 1 per second is doable. I would say crunches are much more effective for your abs because during the run, my quadriceps are always sore.

My abs typically don't start hurting till the next day, and not to the same extent. Therefore I gather that sit ups stress your quads and hip flexors at least as much as your abs. • • Bitch Tits • • RE: CRUNCHES or SIT-UPS 8:44AM - in reply to • Bitch Tits •.
