on 8/28/2006 According to Kendall and Kendall, two muscle groups are responsible for the torso curl or sit-up: Hip flexes and abdominals. The bent knee crunch actually brings the hip flexes in to play more so than the abs. To strengthen the abs they state that initially place a small roll under the knees, rotate the pelvis posteriorly so that the arch in the lumbar spine region is flat, and then do the torso curl. You may not get very far in the curl at first but after repeated days and weeks your abs will be stronger and then remove the roll.
