Are you one of hundreds of mums feeling the guilty need to do 100 sit ups every day? Well, STOP!!!!!! There are far more effective ways of regaining your abdominal strength and shape than boring and unsafe crunches. For a start, you may suffer from a diastasis (gap in the tummy muscles) since the birth of your children, which means you should avoid any crunching jarring movements. Instead you need to be assessed to establish the condition of your tummy muscles and be prescribed exercises appropriate for your own body.

DON'T DO 100 CRUNCHES EVER AGAIN - they are totally unnecessary!
