belly ache after press ups

[mollykins]

Why is it that my stomach's aching after doing a load of press-ups last night? My arms probably aren't from all the rowing etc I do, so they're strong, but why my stmoach?

eeerrrrrr every time i was the last to do something or failed to do something such as that thing where you sit on the floor with your back to someone, link arms and have to get up - I fell flat on my face and had to do 5. But probably 30 - 40, but i'm not used to doing them.

I'm pretty sure you use your abs to maintain the posture, if you don't do any situps or your abs aren't that strong yet they probably would ache so get crunching Molly!!

I did try and do the plank just before i went to bed every night but kinda gave up, i went from being able to do it for 1 minute, up to 3 and a half.

This happens to me every time I do stomach crunches when I haven't done them for a while. Maybe you should try some warm-up exercises before-hand. Or just start off by doing 10 then building it up each week.

We did do warm ups but obviously not from the stomach area.
