Interesting article on ab exercises

wrote: situps are not quite exactly ab exercises actually... There is no such thing as an exercise that isolates a muscle group. they exercise hip flexors. Care must be taken with them, because if your hip flexors are too strong you may have lower back pain. Every once in a while, you say something sane and rational. This was not one of those times. Lift well, Eat less, Walk fast, Live long.

wrote: I have to say something here. Ignoramus is absolutely correct in saying that some of your hip flexors are recruited when you do full sit ups and they can hurt your low back if you aren't careful with them. He didn't say anything about "full" situps and he didn't say "some" of the hip flexors and he didn't say that they are "recruited". He blamed them for low back pain when used and he is dead damn wrong. Some of your hip flexors are attached to the vertebrae of your low back and then again onto your femur/leg, thus giving you the ability to flex your hip. The low back acts as the stable unmoving part of the muscle. It's called the psoas muscle. Babe, I'm going to let you slide. Thanks for the absolutely unneded lesson on Anatomy 101. Lift well, Eat less, Walk fast, Live long.
