Kettlebell US military phasing-out 'dangerous' sit-ups

[S. G. Mason]

Is this the END of the sit up?

Dr McGill has said this for some time, wonder why he;s only being heeded now. Also, note the quote from the American Council of Exercise guy - situps in the dustbin of fitness history? I am sure I read similar in a book by some crazy Russian guy, many, many years ago. :-D

Sit-ups? What are they? Oh! You mean tailbone crushers? About time the military started binning them. -_-

This is something that has been talked about for a while. This, along with completely revamping the PT test, have been talked about for at least the last 7 years if not longer. I wouldn't hold my breath on this. Too many "Good Idea Faries" floating around at the pentagon before anything is actually actioned or decided upon for that matter.
