A member asked:

I did 100 situps a week ago & now my stomach is tense & sticks out.when i push my stomach it relieves some of it but muscle feels shaky. normal?

Get checked...: I would suggest to see your doctor for evaluation of possible abdominal hernia. On the other hand it could be a muscle spasm but no way to tell unless you get examined.
