Huh, I find it interesting that your trainer has you do so many sit ups, or any at all. There has been a long growing trend that planks in all their many flavors promote core strength better. I know I swapped to planks well over a year ago and my core is far stronger, my balance better and my overworked hip flexors have stopped screaming so I can actually sleep on my back again.

We rarely do sit-ups, but we do some occasionally. Normally when we do we are holding a body bar or barbell over our heads/keeping it over our head the entire time so they are far from "traditional sit ups". Interesting article, thanks!
