If that is too difficult even just holding a push up position works better than a crunch.

I'm happy for you and your wicked abs. Those of us with degenerative disc disease have to choose - we can do crunches or we can have the use of our legs. We can't do both :)

I have scoliosis and arthritis in my lower spine as well as some fused disks, and I too have to make a similar choice.

Status: offline 		I see.. Thank you GQ.. I kept seeing the title of the thread on the boards and it's been bugging me for a few days. I would have asked earlier but it sounded quite painful.

I'm so relieved to know that it's a sit up.

This just makes me laugh. If, at age 22, you didn't have great abs, it would be sad. I remember when I first met Generic Dude....21 years ago. He had an awesome 8 pack and never worked out. Now......not so much so.
