Is the sit-ups position bad posture? also does bad posture stunt growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Posture: Sit-ups can place a lot of stress on your intervertebral discs later potentially leading to herniation or bulging. Bad posture can lead to weakening of the spine and also cause degenerative changes with prolonged postural instability.
