for get sit-ups...do crunches

sit ups are rough on the lower back, especailly for beginners.

crunches....cross your arm across your chest, your hands should be on the opposite shoulder....never put hands on the back of your head, when you fatigue, you will tend to pull on your head to help yourself up and thats real bad for your neck.

hook your feet under the couch on the floor(when you get strong enough, you wont hafa do this) your knees should be bent 90 degrees from you calfs and quads..using your abdominals, lift your upper body so that it is off the ground, but not sitting up all the way. all of your back should be off the ground, not just your shoulder blades. and relax and repeat. remember your arms are close to your body in front of you crossed your chest.
