A member asked:
Can you tell me are sit-ups for exercise for the stomach?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No.: They are exercises for the abdominal muscles that cover your abdominal cavity. The stomach is a visceral organ inside the abdominal cavity. You give that a workout by eating. Don't eat too much. ;)
