A member asked:
Is it better to do sit-ups with your hands crossed in front of the chest or behind your neck?

Not much difference: The real trick is to isolate the abdominal muscles and not use arm motion for momentum to help due the exercise, either position would work. It is easier to add a rotation to the motion and work the oblique muscles with hands behind head.
