Update to the ‘sit up’ post !

[redrose42]

Once again this community helps each other, two important notes

1. Pregnant ladies if you are lurking, it’s best not to do sit ups / crunches, certainly not beyond the first trimester.
2. There are more efficient workouts to strengthen your core than sit ups, the NHS website in the U.K. has a great simple guide, I hope the website works outside the U.K. NHS U.K. Core strength

@redrose42 The site works here in the US.

Maybe a silly question, but what is the difference between a situp and a crunch?

@theoxman A crunch you aim to lift your shoulder blades off the ground. A sit-up you aim to lift your back off the ground and be vertical.
