Here is the difference!π³
The crunch, also known as curl-up, is one of the most common exercises for the abdominal muscles, primarily the rectus abdominis. It is performed while lying face up on the floor with knees bent, by curling the shoulders up towards the pelvis. The hands may be placed behind the head, but care should be taken not to pull on the neck, as this can cause injury. Alternatively, the hands may be placed on the shoulders, with the forearms crossed over the chest, or by the sides resting on the floor.
Crunch exercises may be performed on swiss balls. Weights may be used, typically held under the chin, to increase resistance. Holding a medicine ball behind the head exercises the triceps, as well as the abs.[citation needed]
Unlike the sit-up, the lower back should not leave the floor. This is said to eliminate any involvement by the hip flexors, and make the crunch an effective isolation exercise for the abdominals. The difficulty of the crunch can be increased by lying on a decline bench and/or holding a weight on the chest. In addition, there are specific machines designed to perform crunches.
Critics[attribution needed] of the crunch have pointed out that the hip flexors are not in fact eliminated from the movement by the lower back being kept on the ground. Tension spreads from the abdominals to the hip flexors, and the tension of the hip flexors reduces the workload on the rectus abdominis.[citation needed]
Sit ups is like sitting up & down every second!π³π
