Question

WAT is the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN situps and crunches

pictures in website links WOULD REALLY HELP


THANK U!!

Answer 1

sit ups work your lower abs, when you put your head up as high as you can ( or up to your knees) and crunches work your upper abs. the main difference is that you have to go higher for a sit-up and in a crunch your not moving that much.

Answer 2

Basically they are the same thing only With sit ups your are raising higher, but also wasting energy and time.
With a crunch you only raising up so that you shoulders are off the floor and this is sufficient and better for you as you are getting a full workout of the abs with less effort.

Answer 3

while situps target ur entire abdomniale region as well as strains ur back,crunches tend to isolate that six pack ur looking for and are much better

Answer 4

crunchs are just bringing your self high enough to touch your fingers to your knees while your feet are elevated and curl ups bring your head up to your knees.
