A member asked:
I was told that sit ups are bad for a hiatal hernia. how many situps would it take to make a hiatal hernia larger or does it just take one sit up to do it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anything done in moderation is beneficial. If you do not do any very heavy exertion normal sit-ups in any number are OK
