Tosit up, or tocrunch?
That is the question.
But which is better?
Situps
How to do them:
Pros of situps.
According to Williams, situps provide alarger range of motion than crunches.
Cons of situps.
If you have back or neck problems, situps unfortunately may exacerbate these issues.
Crunches
How to do crunches:
Pros of crunches.
As Williams explains, crunches are a more focused on the rectus abdominus, or upper abs.
They’llwork your obliquesa bit as well.
The shorter movementisolates those muscles, making it very effective.
For this reason, crunches are a bit more accessible.
Cons of crunches.
So, which one is better?
The answer depends on what you’re looking for.
Do you want to kick up abs day and challenge yourself with the muscle-isolating work of crunches?
Or would you prefer situps, which can also work your hips, back, and chest?
Williams himself notes he likes to switch it up.
