      Ava Fowler When I was little, I did something that kinda permanently bruises my tail bone and my left knee. So this prevents me from doing sit ups on the floor, and kneeling or crawling. It sucks a lot. Because I have to do 120 sit ups on the concrete floor with only 3 stops. I still cant find a way to heal it fully. 😞😢

    @sagenryanf5065 5 років тому +7

    If you're just trying to get your shoulder blades off the ground, isn't that considered a crunch, not a sit-up? Correct me if I am wrong, but I was always under the impression that the difference between a sit-up and a crunch is how far off the ground you raise your upper body; a crunch is just when the should blades get off the ground and a sit-up is when your upper body is almost perpendicular to the ground (basically, almost 90 degrees).

    • @thesaltyspitoon6342
      @thesaltyspitoon6342 10 місяців тому +1

      A sit up is when you just lift your upper body to sit up straight. A crunch is when you lift your upper body AND your knees which is why it's called a crunch because you're crunching your upper body and legs together. I'm 4 years late but whatever lol

  • @julieannahamilton2363
    @julieannahamilton2363 3 роки тому

    I can’t do sit ups because my tail bone is so large it sticks out far.. so if I sit straight up my bone would get stuck on the floor, yoga mat, pillow.. anything and probably break! The pain is excruciating and I can’t figure out how to fix it... I just had an X-ray and it’s not broken or bruised.. it’s just BIG! So rolling that bone to sit up hurts soooo bad! This way won’t work either. I’m at a loss... I need it removed :/

      If its your lower back muscles that are hurting, I would recommend incorporating lower back and glute exercises in your workout. Such exercises include, but are not limited to, planks, hypertensions, supermans, and maybe even fire hydrants and/or sumo squats.
      I doubt it is because of your lack of glute muscles, but some great exercises for those are fire hydrants, sumo squats, leg raises, leg lifts, and lunges,

    this is completely useless and does not protect the tailbone at all. look up "manny pacquiao ab workout", he's using a 1.5" thick mat and the most effective crunches require you to be rest on or near the tailbone for around half of the ab workouts, the rest are just lifting the lower back or doing leg movements in a protected position or using a bar or something. the best way to protect it as well as doing a proper workout is to gain muscle around that area for less momentum on the tailbone and to use a real, thick mat. not that fraudster "ab mat" or "ab bench" garbage.
