Thank you , I keep telling people at the gym you don't have to sit all the way up. They mock the way I do sit ups(your way).good to know I am doing them correctly
That is actually crunches which is also what he's actually doing is crunches. Sit-ups as the name suggests u got to sit all the way up. They still hit the abs but sit-ups being harder. One can mix both to increase endurance and intensity of the exercise.
Gym is for body to show on insta not for healthy

How to properly do a sit up
Step 1: do a crunch
Sorry i couldn't resist😂. Great video, man!
Lmao i thought the same thing 😂
thanks! I've been doing sit ups wrong which really hurt my tailbone but this really helped
Same
@@zwabbah4841 this was 5 years ago I don't think he will reply
Are u still grinding sit-ups
Hey, I was just wondering how was your tailbone?
@@yahikopain64 probably really hurt
I love his demonstration of how not to do it. It's like in those cartoons/tv shows where a guy pretends like he's an expert and tries to do something, he ends up doing it poorly, so he says "that's NOT how you do it."
Brad this is awesome...
10 years later, love it😇
I used to do situps wrong. One year after this physical therapists recommendation my abs are tone!!
00:59....... that’s me ALL DAY, exactly the way I sound & everything ! 🤦🏾♀️😆
😭😭💀😭💀
Thank you soooo much for a simple video that can save many injuries later.
Oml- Tysm, this actually helped me because I usually see people go all the way up which I can't do- So this helps a lot. Glad to find this video for help.
Man I always wondered why I struggled with situps. Thank you!
Thank you for posting this!
That 12 pack
What, got something against 6-armed creatures? Racist! :).
beer?
@@TheLoLzSickKidz tf beer???😭😭
Saturdays for the boys
@@shrubs7418 yessir 💯💯💯
This is really good, thanks doc
Thank you so much. I appreciate the exercises..
That was excellent. I learnt a great deal and will be doing my situps this way from now on. THANKS!
ive been trying to do sit up since i was a kid and even when i was skinny i just couldnt pull my self up and not im a bit have some weight and i still couldnt do it, thanks for the video really helps !
Thanks for your help.
Thanks in a million.Great content.
Usually when I do sit ups, I can get 10 in before I need to rest, because my lower back muscles feel like they're on fire. So, I kinda took that as a hint that I wasn't doing them right.
Its one half of the most famous physical therapists on the Internet!
Thanks Doctor.
May God bless all of you more.
Thanks for this, I've been doing it the wrong way for years. Now that I'm 60, I'm paying for it, lol. I'm going to do sit-ups per your way and save what's left of my back. Thank you :)
SOMEONE WHAT IS THE ONE WHERE HE LIFTED HIS LEGS UP CALLED PLS TELL ME ITS IMPORTANT TO ME
Thank you sir, in highschool my P.E. tea her made us do sit-ups and my tailbone tore my skin when making contact with the concrete, I haven't done sit-ups until now.
I like this video a lot, i knew i was doing sits ups not the correct way (with my arms extended like u showed) but after doing ten like that i could not continue at all and it did not even hurt. I'll just try to strenghten my core muscles first , thank you for all the advice!
Thank you!
This guy is Legend
Thank you so much for this!
now i think i know why my back are somewhat stiff ive been doing the exersices wrong..
Trying to get rid of anterior pelvic tilt so i want to get my ab strengthened.
Hey, how did it go for you? I have anterior pelvic tilt, diagnosed recently
ive always had strong arms and legs for my size, but for some reason i always had weak core strength and could barely crank out 17 sit ups
I have a naval hernia, is that keeping my stomach from getting flat? I do sit ups and crunches but results are not good. I will try your method now. Thanks for the video!
I really like your stuff. Quite some time back I looked at your videos seeking advice on how to get my arms working again but didn't find the solution. No worries, eventually I worked out my own pathway. I especially liked when you say you are the best PTs on the internet, "in our opinion, of course". Love it. What you demonstrate here is great, I worked this out a long time ago and totally agree. Just one more thing - I like how you walk the walk in this video, not just talk the talk. Best regards. Tony.
Thank you!!!!
Thank you sooo much
Thanks for this helpful video, I can feel the difference! Appreciate your professional advice
This will be helpful
i really struggle doing sit-ups without my neck hurting. even though i don’t tug my neck or move it , it still hurts . what can i do to reduce this some one help
Thank you cause I was doing situps wrong. Did have my hands behind my head which made it hard unless your a expert at it.
Oh yes! I'm feeling it!
Thanks so much for this. I want to work my abdominal muscles just to strengthen my core, but I don't want to hurt myself in the process!
if I have a beer belly, is it best to do crunches and loose weight running or cycling then once weight is down to situps? I get pain in my lower back doing them buy I have a big belly. I know cutting down on calories will help too besides just exercises. what about stomach cramps. between 50-100 I get bad stomach cramps
Thanks!
If I decide to do the ones where you try to touch your legs with the opposite elbow do I have to do twice the reps in one set for the same result?
Thank you so much
You are very welcome!
Thanks for the video. It's nice! I'll definitely try this. :-)
The Nonte Fonte animated series music....
LOL

Thank you
In watching this 10 years later…
i followed your posture and left my neck straight and look at the ceiling but my neck muscles still hurt.i must stop doing it before feeling any result.how can i treat this problem?
Thanks for this video I am 27 I suffer from AS ( Ankylosing Spondylitus ) this video will help a lot
handy, thank you
So this question might be a little stupid but.. Can you get good looking muscles with this techniques or is this just for inner strenght?
Thanks
Was thinking of getting into a routine of situps didn't know how to do one thanks for simple tutorial
His routine is sound. Becareful with sit ups though, if your feet ain't under something. I hurt my back doing the one where he touches his toes. I'm trying his sit ups today. And the one where he does his knees is knee drawing. I'd recommend walking or jogging with this routine for the abs.
@@pe777vidmax5 OK thank you for the advice
lol thanks for the vid. i like it!
thanks
hahahaha homie using the girls gone wild steel drum intro!!! my man!!!
LMAO! i had to go back and check! ohhhhh thank you. thank you for that
Doesnt he sound like Norm Mcdonald as well??
I started walking 2 miles every day at 5 PM and going live on my Instagram while I do it and talking to community members & I’ve noticed not only am I losing weight but my mental health is just tiptop compared to the medicine the doctor gave me for it.
Shameless plug.😂
@@jayb.8460 OH DAMN IT WAS WASNT IT Will spoiler. I recently got banned from Instagram and I won’t be going back so.😂😂😂😂
Man work outs are medicine within itself ...nothing a doctor will give you will help in the longrun..my doctor sent me to a cardiologist and I was givin high blood pressure medication ..right after work I got run my 2 miles AND do 100 sit ups NO EXCUSES...keep going NEVER give up!!..
What is the difference between that and a crunch?
@Shardy 😂
Hey thanks for that...🙂
How many sets should I start with?
my neck just go up not me ):
You must be really fat then if only your neck goes up but not ur whole body
E__M heart❤️ been broke💔🤕 so many times⏰ i don’t know❌🤷♀️ what to believe 🍃🙏 yeah👍 mama🤰say it’s my👧😣fault🥺😢 my fault😭😞 i wear my heart💝 on my sleeve👕 but I do be 111 doe :(((
@@unicornslushy3223 what?? lol
Unicorn Slushy LMFAO
Don't worry there was a time when even your neck didn't go up 🤣
I was doing them the right way after all
But how Many crunches to do??
My neck still hurts. Having my neck straight and in line with my body makes it sore because it's pulling more than the abs. What do I do????
What if you have a herniated disc lower part of my back L5 S1?
whenever i try doing this i don’t feel it in my core and my neck feels strained.
Squeeze your stomach!!!
@@prato6396 I do but my neck hurts more 😭
The og videos
I’m impressed you can do sit-ups! I can’t
Ur fat bro
@@frickedyourgirlfriend3678 takes one to know one 😝 not fat, just back issues
@@MN-br5nb true true
@@frickedyourgirlfriend3678 oof lol
The last one is a hip workout not a lower ab move. To work your 6 pack involves flexing the spine aka chest to knees. A situp will work both the top and bottom.
I feel heavy in my neck doing what he did, because usually my hands are behind the neck -_-
3:29
My entire life I have never been able to do a sit up, I’ve tried doing as if I were going to die if I didn’t do one and I was only able to bring my neck up as if I’m peeking above my blanket to see if someone is there. I have been able to do push ups and even pull ups, never have I ever been able to do a sit up.
Try vertical push ups and work from there.
physical therapist craving for a cold coorlight can as he shows how to work out stomach. um, funny . salud, doc.!!
Thanks for sharing this info, it was very helpful; Jesus Christ Bless you! :)
I've just been taught how to do proper sit ups by Ted Danson
Is it advisable to put some kind of support for that arch on ur lower back when doing sit ups or crunches?
2 years later you still have no answer
@@abdijelah2369
Ahh thanks for noticing
If it helps the process of sit ups and crunches to help you improve to do them without support then yes,
i was surprised when he pulled out the fireball move
Nice shoes
i did 100 sit ups and now my stomach is hurting i think i made it sore idk
2020
Isn't that what a crunch is?
So what about those of us that are in the military or law enforcement the are REQUIRED to put our hands behind our heads? Not saying this doesn't help for some, but not for 95% of those that need to do them due to their profession.
no no, its really bad for you if you put your hand behind the head.. its bad for the neck and if you think it help to get a sit up... well its not..... just do the proper sit ups......
also no offence but i think military training is way too.......... not that effective to gain body fitness...... than going to a gym.... to do a proper workout
Alexander Skyzx Edeza Yes because obviously everyone who is in the military joined just for the physical training.. lol, dude, when you go through boot camp, you aren't given a choice on how to do sit-ups. If you told your drill srgnt you wanted to do them a different way because this will "hurt your back" he'd laugh his ass off and tell you to do 20 more.
Zach Schaneberger - I believe the rules for a full military situp are where the wrist crosses the knees, or chest-to-knees, depending on your country... Also instead of holding your neck (which increases the tendency to pull on the neck, causing injury), either lightly (!) touch your ears with your finger tips (to maintain that standard "form") or try it as shown by ***** If your neck hurts, it simply means you're not strong enough yet ... practice, eh? :D
@@AlexD-jf5ml don’t worry man just do a leg tuck
im absolutely certain that is a crunch and not a sit up
I’m pretty sure crunches are even better for your abs
Advance;how many reps for the beginner and how many sets?
Thanks for replying.I did the right amount,got sore,but am doing them everyday now.If there's any improvement,I'll let you know.I think,in the past,I've given up before any results could be seen.Im not overweight,just don't have stomach muscles.And I wouldn't mind dropping a couple of inches off my waist.
@@Dougdenslowe714 How did it go? 😳
@@matadias.2180 I found a good diet better than exercise.Of course both ,in concert, give best results,but I eat too much when I exercise.I’ve taken off 20 lbs since posting this.
When i watch this at 2021 checkk
every time i do sit up, my belly hurts like crazy not my back. i can't even bend over or sit straight and if i try to do a sit up my belly feels like it is cracking btw i am a teen, a girl and not old. any tips?
^^^ i think thats what i was looking for. yay!
U have broken down the muscle which is good and it means u had a good workout especially if ur not used to doing them. Just rest recover and do again.
what is the best excercise to lose stomach fat?
who knows
Cardio exercise and running, you can't burn"belly fat" you have to lose fat in everything, you can't choose one spot your whole body has to lose it.
@@daedalusgames4499 ^^
It's not a good exercise, but unfortunately law enforcement and military use sit ups as part of testing, so now I'm stuck on having to do these
This was so long ago
2:45
Am I the only one laughing as he start with examples how wrong we do our sit ups before
😄
Why would I need a 12 pack when I already got a keg 😎
2:25 & 2:55 & 3:35
but that is a crunch
Don’t your legs go up to touch your elbows for a crunch?
