“ Sit - Ups Are Dangerous ” – Fitness Experts.

The quite popular Sit-ups exercise are falling out of
favour among fitness experts who say they should be
consigned to the ‘ dustbin of exercise history ’ because
they may cause back damage.
Personal trainers and military advisers in the US now
believe that sit-ups are dangerous because they put too
much pressure on the spine.
According to Daily Mail, they say that men and woman
should replace them with the plank pose, which is when
you stay in the upward part of a press-up.
The US Army has already put 10,000 soldiers through a
pilot of a revamped physical-fitness test that excluded
sit-ups.
And one study found that 56 per cent of all soldiers’
injuries related to the old fitness test were because of
sit-ups. An editorial in Navy Times, which covers the US
Navy, recently called for sit-ups to be banned
completely.
