Hi there, I would like to know does "sit ups and push ups" mean,in relation with sports, military training? Could it be like " le lever de poids"? or something more specific because the setence is " They go to the gym twice a week and do weight lifting, sit ups and push ups." How could I translate that? Help me,please! Thanks a million in advance.

I was reading Moorehouse's book Fitness in 30 minutes a week and he recommends sit-backs because he found that the hip flexors are doing all the work during the sit up? What do you think? Are those "Atlas" sit ups really that effective?

Quoting ☆ Kelz☆: ? For those of you who do sit- ups. How many do you do a day? And have you seen any results from them?? I used to to 200 a day PreP and had washboard abs no joke but if you were just trying to tighten up PostP you could do 100 but I will say build up to that amout dont just try to start out that high you will most likly strain your muscles

Je suis d'accord avec lacp . Cette phrase n'a rien à voir avec le langage courant.

De plus, aux Etats-Unis, on dit "push-ups" tandis que les Anglais les appellent des "press-ups", ce qui sont des "pompes" en français. Les "sit-ups" sont les abdos, mais "...

They won't mess with your knees or hip flexors as long as you bend at the spine and don't keep a straight back. I like doing these too after I finish my workout, I add a little functionality and work the obliques more by throwing a straight punch to alternating sides at the top.
