My friends and I in my taekwondo class had a bet about me being able to do 1000 sit-ups. While I was doing them, my legs started hurting really bad like muscle burning pain at around 300 sit-ups and I was wondering what was happening. Was it because my friend was holding my legs wrong for the sit-ups or was it because I was going too low to the ground. By the way I have done 1000 sit-ups in a row many times before and my legs never get hurt.

And you understand that people have known that sit ups suck since like the mid 50s right???

I had no idea people still did that old style crap anymore.

where were your legs hurting?

Killerdevi

Yes I do know sit-ups suck but I was just trying to win a bet and the pain was in the quadriceps.

Boki

i get that too

pushing hard

sounds like you gave up at 300, how much did you lose?

Killerdevi

I gave up because my legs were hurting, I didn't feel any pain in my abs. I have done 1000 sit-ups many times before but without someone holding my feet, just me putting my feet under my sofa and doing it. I lost 75$ in the bet.

Yeah I don't know why but it hurts .

Have you tried doing wu shu? Stay still for like 30 minutes on about 100 different moves/ways, for some reason it hurts my butt.

Killerdevi

Just tried it, harder than expected, only lasted for 23min.

The pain you may have been experiencing may have been from your hip flexors, which are significantly recruited during sit ups. The soreness the next day almost feels like a quadriceps workout, but is a bit higher up on the leg.
