Getting to the Core of the Matter

Sit-ups

Every devout orthodox digital troglodyte (AKA Expert Searcher) must stay fit, and that doesn’t require a gym. In this installment, I will deal with the main core exercise you need to do to stay strong and fit — the sit-up, or more properly the crunch. I have written about abdominal exercies before, but this article is for the less fit individual. See No Gym Required – Abs Exercises II,  No Gym Required – Abs Exercises III, and No Gym Required – Abs Exercises IV for more advanced exercises.

The crunch is the first ab exercise to undertake is the the crunch as it does not strain the lower back when done properly. Proper form is to do it with the lumbar spine in a neutral position. That is, the lower spine is not squashed flat against the floor when doing the crunch.

A properly scaled set of progressions may be found at twohundredsitups. This programme is properly scaled for the average person.
