SIT-UPS VS CRUCHES WHICH IS BETTER?

Traditional sit-ups emphasize sitting up rather than merely 
pulling your sternum down to meet your pelvis. The psoas 
muscles run from the lower back to the front of the thighs. 
This muscle action is to pull the thighs closer to the torso. 
This action is the major component of sitting up. Because 
of this, when you are doing sit ups your psoas muscles are 
the primary muscles being engaged and not your abdominal 
exercises. So sit-ups are a pretty useless exercise if you want 
to get your abs in shape. Instead, use crunches, because they 
directly work your abs.

HOW TO DO CRUNCHES THE RIGHT WAY

Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet 
together flat on the floor and about 10-15 inches from your 
buttocks.  Your hands should either be crossed on your chest, 
by your side, or cupped behind your ears. Without moving your 
lower body, curl your upper torso up and in toward your knees, 
until your shoulder blades are as high off the ground as you can 
get them. Only your shoulder blades should lift--not your back. 
As you come to the highest point tighten and flex your abdominals 
for a brief second. Slowly lower yourself back to the starting 
position. Repeat for reps.
