Proper Sit-ups

I am not a huge fan of doing sit-ups. Maybe it's because I feel like I have to do so many to see any results. I found some sit-up recommendations from Dr. Mirkin, a doctor and certified in sports medicine. He says that it is not necessary to do repetitions of more than 30 to strengthen your abs.

He says you should lie on your back with your knees bent enough for your soles to touch the floor. Then place both hands on your chest and slowly raise your head off of the ground. Raise your shoulders about one foot and then lower them to the ground. Repeat this slowly ten times, and then do two more sets of ten. When you become stronger then you can add a weight held behind your neck or on your chest.
