Nave Seals DO in fact do sit-ups. They do a TON of crunches, V's and straight legs. SOME millitary manuals do indeed discourage isolated abs exercises but without TONING the muscles they won't show through properly to give that 'washboard' 6 pack effect. YEAH you can loose weight and see an ab's 'shape' but nothing too well defined wothout toning. some good ideas but slightly misleading. Nave Seals DO in fact do sit-ups.

If you have been carrying a parasite around for say 10 or 20 years ago, as a result of having continual inflammation in the gut, the muscles of the abdominal area such as the deep abdominal wall (TVA) become dysfunctional. As Paul Chek says in his “Eat, Move and be Healthy book… “Internal organs borrow their pain-sensitive nerve fibers from the muscular system. That means that when an organ is in pain, the brain can’t determine if it’s the muscle or the organ that hurts…since pain always weakens muscles, the abdominal muscles generally lose tone and don’t respond to exercise like a muscle that doesn’t think it is in pain” So as a result of the continual inflammation and discomfort the muscles essentially switch off which is known as lower abdominal amnesia. As a result it is difficult to achieve a flat stomach whilst having a parasite present.
