The 2013 Trivial, Boring Drivel Thread....

Sit ups next. I promised myself ten years ago the six pack was coming back.

I do sit ups and crunches all different kinds of ways but I read an article the other day and tried what it suggested and learned something I probably should have known years ago.

Doing a typical crunch, I usually have my knees bent, feet on the floor and I lift my shoulders 4-6 inches off the floor. Standard. Well this article I read said basically do the same thing/keep your legs bent in the same position but lift your feet off the floor about 3 inches or so. It's a better ab workout and easier on your lower back. I've done it for a few days and it's definitely a better position for an ab workout and it is easier on the lower back. Duh. How did I not know this?
