hey there unc

sit ups or cunches are pretty much the same thing apart from sit ups you tend to curve your back to reach higher up in the movement

imo crunchs woul be the best for you, and with your abs been stabilizing muscles they recover pretty quickly from exercise with them been used day in day out

theres s**t loads of variations( like crossovers to bring the obliques inot play, or legs raised to keep the abs ight when doing a crunch) on them mate, but a would just stick with the plain old normal ones for know if your used not used to them

so ly back on the floorwith legs bent , soles flat on the floor, and hands either touching your temples(not locked round the back of the head , as this can cause to much curve on your spine when trying to lift up, and ppl have the tendency to curl up and pull up on there head and put undue pressure on the neck

so when lyin flat raise up , you only need to go to about 35 degrees imo, on the way up breath outand i try to exert the last of my breath when your abs are tense, makes it a lil more intense

then slowly back down to positoin without letting your shoulders touch the floor, this will keeps tense through out your reps , because soon as you hit the floor your abs will relax and rest

i would for ow just do 3 x 10 with 30 secs rest in between if your not used to them, then later you can add resistance(with either a weight on your chest or having your legs raised or something theres loads of ways) or more volume if you like

hope this helps unc am sure you ll get loads of replies on this but this imo

Sit ups bad man - terrible for ya back! crunches all the way! you should breath out when you contract like and other muscle! should do stabalising exersices aswell, such as planks. as above your core recovers quick, so needs lots of variation, side crunches, twists, cable chops, the list is endless!
