I would have to disagree with this one. The key is keeping your heart rate up at a high level over a long period of time (think 20 minutes or more). Situps won't do that for you. Situps might get your heart rate pumping for a minute or so, but that's not going to do nearly as much good as longer intervals of cardiovascular exercise....and even better is if you can incorporate interval training....

Unfortunately that is not going to keep your heart rate up constantly for any duration over probably 1 minute at a time....you're time would be better spent during cardio
