[Blakefrasier]

I have just started to so sit-ups.I do fifty in the morning and fifty at night.I have been doing this daily routine for the past three days now,and all of a sudden my stomach is starting to hurt.Why is this?Am I doing to much of them?

What kind of hurt are you talking about? Your stomach mussels are like all your other mussels.. they need a break to repair.  You should only do situps every other day to give them time to rest.  If you are having naseua you should see your doctor.

I am very sorry to hear all your concern and worries, I am in the same boat..few years ago during numerous sit up appro.20-30 sit- ups I felt this painful knot in my lower abdomin (abdomen) ...like someone rolling my intestine inside my stomach, it was so painful that I can't  breath nor can't move, and now it seems that every time I do 5 sit-ups and and exercise that related to abs....it's startst to trigger this pain even having sex ...especially when i am on top like set up position. Anyone help!!!!!!from MD....not a hernia

You need to strengthen your fitness and also your abdominal muscles.
Do some floor exercises and learn to strengthen your abdominal muscles so by that you will reduce the pain by putting less force on the areas you are having pain in the abdomen.
If you are having pain reduce the  no of situps and do on alternate days. By rest the pain will decrease if you do not have any other problem like hernia etc nothin to worry. Take care!
