Here’s a list of 5 common exercises that are actually bad for your health! I was surprised to find this one:
Sit-ups: Not only are sit-ups bad for your neck, but they’re also one of the least-effective abdominal exercises you can do, according to a recent study at San Diego State University.

Bugger, sit-ups are about the only thing I have room to do in my flat!

They may be right about the other exercises (a diagram or photo or two would help to understand the weight-lifter’s lingo) but there’s nothing wrong with sit-ups if you only do crunches and have your legs up with your feet flat on the wall. Easiest and fastest way to trim your beer belly.
The bicycle sit-ups they describe are also very good, but are too hard for the person just starting out on an exercise routine. Build up the number of sit-ups you can do before you move onto those.
