In fact, one research showed that when done efficiently, sit ups are a better agenda than using some equipment in the gym.
- Promotes overall torso health: The torso is commonly referred to as the trunk of the human body. It includes basically every part of the body except the head, neck, and limbs. So while your primary or single focus may be to develop strong abs, you’re also developing a strong torso.
Sit ups also improve flexibility, and range of motion of your core. This offers health benefits such as improved posture, reduced risk of back injury, and generally better balance and strength.
