Hi all, please can anyone give me advice on how to do sit-ups correctly, especially on when to exhale and inhale? Does not breathing correctly affect the results?

Breathe in on the relax, out on the crunch phase of the sit up. Breathing out on the crunch will increase the muscle resistance. The main things are to never hold your breath and don't put any strain on your neck.
