My personal trainer refuses to do sit ups because it is bad for you back. Just warning people to do crunches instead :flowerforyou:

Happy exercising!!

    Anything where the back tries to take over is bad. Some people can do sit ups without involving the back, others cannot. For some, it can happen with crunches...when you start to feel any ab work in your back, you should stop.
