Re: need advise
The problem with sit up is that people use the wrong muscles when they do them and they may be hard on your back.
So what is you want to achieve? You want to do some abs exercises. Crunches are pretty good. You can do normal crunches, reverse crunches, obliques, bicycles.
Here are a couple of pages to look at
Do a Perfect Abdominal Crunch
Top 10 Most Effective Ab Exercises - Reverse Crunch
There are very many other work-out things on the internet suggesting things to do. Do some searches for abs exercises and you'll see what I mean.
We have an abs exercise going in the exercise forum you may want to join
