Diet: Belly fat is hard to get rid of by situps. Sometimes they can make your abdominal muscles grow and actually make it seem worse, plus they can be hard on your back. The best way to get rid of fat is diet - and the secret is to burn off more than you take in on a daily basis.

Balance: Sit ups themselves will not get rid of belly fat. Fat deposition occurs when calorie intake exceeds output. So to get rid of fat in general, One must burn more calories then they tske in, ie exercise ore and eat less. Ther are a number of more back friendly ways to strengthen the and as opposed to a sit-up as well including abdominal crunches.
