    I don't have scoliosis so I am not sure if I have good advice, but if you have someone who can help you maybe you could start by having them hold your feet and your hands to help you up until you develop enough strength to do it on your own? Another option is to start at the upright position and lower yourself down slow as you can to start building muscles to help you go up?? I can not do pushups for the life of me and I am working on being in the plank position and lowering myself down very slowly and I hope this will start building the muscles I need to go back up eventually.

    I am in training to become a Personal Trainer and cannot instruct someone on an exercise if I myself cannot demonstrate it to them.

    I think that most people "get" the concept of this. But any program that says you NEED to be able to do (implying TEACH) situps is silly.

    I had the same problem! I started doing planks a few times a day and the next week I was able to do sit-ups in my boot camp class ( slower than most but I did 35 ).
