There’s nothing wrong with doing sit-ups if you’re looking to just work your ab muscles and you're on a mission for a rippling six-pack (although your diet is going to have to be on point too). However, if it’s a stronger core that you want to develop, a personal trainer says they’re not the exercise to do.
“A really common misconception is that the more visible the abs are the stronger the core is,” says Personal Trainer, James Stirling. He continues: “A strong core actually refers to the deep muscles that are at least one layer below the surface muscles. The core area is actually called the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex and it actually stabilises the upper and lower body.”
