22 Sit Up and Crunch Variations Crunches and Sit Ups have gotten a bad rap in the last few years. They are said to be worthless and even put you at risk for injury. And when designing many of my workouts, I often even opt for other “core moves“ over Crunches and Sit Ups because they give you more“bang for your buck,“ aka they work more, and bigger, muscle groups all at once to not only strengthen your entire core, but also burn more calories. HOWEVER, there is a time and a place for Crunches and Sit Ups. They really aren't dangerous when you do them correctly and integrate them into your workout routine correctly. And while they won't give you six-pack abs, especially if your diet isn't on point, they do have value when used correctly. Plus, they sometimes are just freaking fun! There is just something about the ab and core burn that is produced by Crunches and Sit Ups that makes you feel good. (And sometimes working out should simply make you feel good!)
