  | Sore back from Sit Ups Now I know everyone will tell me sit ups are bad for me, but I need to get myself capable of doing 1000's if I am to stand any chance in the Army... After just 10 or so I get really sore in my lower back, not directly in the middle but slightly off to the sides. It does feel like the soreness is from back is hitting the mat every time, so I am guessing this is more down to form than a weak back? Any advice welcome  For the record my knees are bent, my hands to the side of my head and I try to pull from abs, my lower back does seem to be the first thing to hit the mat on the way back down though. Ta!

| Re: Sore back from Sit Ups Yep, was thinking it might be core, but think it is just as likely down to form. Any suggestions on what I should be making sure of form wise? Might it be prudent to swap to crunches or something for a few weeks while I work on my core? May have to postpone the insight weekend I have in April!
