At least you can do sit ups.
I haven't been able to since major surgery on my kidney. doctor believed not cutting into the side muscles but instead separating them would be less traumatic to my body. Maybe it was. But every since.....if I try to do a sit up those muscles he separated ride up over each other and I want to die. I can feel with my hand the muscles bunching up and omg! Sometimes it will happen if I bend over wrong or twist my body wrong too, then it nearly drops me to my knees. I think I'd preferred him to cut the darn things.
And trust me, my tummy could use some sit ups. lol
