sit ups make me feel like my guts are falling out

by cacc, Sep 15, 2007 09:11AM
I have been a lifer of exercise but since having my daughter, i can't seem to do sit ups without having pain.  No matter how few or how many, i feel like my stomach is reeling out and have trouble breathing.  I drink plenty of water and drink alchohol about 4x a year so dehydration isn't an issue.  I have started some light core/pilates/yoga training but nothing seems to be helping.  Anyone?

Have you tried using one of those exercise balls? I switched to using those for crunches instead of sit-ups and I wish I'd done it years ago. Much better for my back, and it just seems to be a lot more effective. Somehow just seems easier on the body, but getting a better workout.
