How to work the abdominals.
Who has never done sit-ups by blocking the feet in the wallbars or under a piece of furniture, lowering the legs right down to the ground?
Who has never had a bad back when getting up after a "tough abdominal training session"?

Never lower your legs right down to the ground.
Never lift your lumbar vertebrae off the ground. |
