How should I stretch my abs before doing a set of sit - ups?
Answers:
Jenni is right. You really shouldn't stretch BEFORE working your muscles. You need to warm up those muscles first with some cardio. I like to do my cardio workout first, before my strengthening and toning exercises, but if you don't want to do that, just do 5 to 10 minutes of cardio before you start your other exercises. Then do your stretching after you work your muscles. There are some good Yoga exercises you can do to stretch your abs. Also, twist your body and touch opposite foot and hand together. Also, stretch to the side, arm over head, bend to the side away from the arm and reach for the wall. You'll feel the stretch all the way down your side from you elbow down through your hip.
