OK, situps work PART of my abs. If I do enough situps I get that nice "I did something" twinge in a band just below my belly button. What works the sides? What works the upper area between my belt and my ribs?
Ohhhhhhhhh yes, the V seat. Dear Lord I hate that. I used to be able to do it, but then I used to be functional. Yikes but that's a mean exercise. So is that last one, presuming it's the one I'm thinking of where you're lying on your back and you're not supposed to let your feet touch the ground in between.
I bet I could get a lot stronger in a lot of ways without standing on my feet or using any equipment at all.
But... here is the thing. I went to one kundalini yoga class at Yoga Mandala, a studio near me. I finished the class and was sore for two solid weeks - laughing hurt, and both of my partners took too much pleasure in being silly and making jokes so they could watch me laugh and go "Yeowch!" (It was consensual. But man, what a workout.)
Then I took a smaller and much slower class where we learnt the same exercises and things went much better. I like these exercises, but would ramp up slowly.
