Alin75 answered Sunday January 9 2005, 10:25 pm: Why on earth are you doing that? Sit ups in general are not great excercises for your abs- crunches are much better. But to answer your question yes it could be bad because situps might damage your back. Now, even if you were doing 3-600 crunches, what a waste of time that is. You are far better off using a small weight either on your chest or behind your head (taking care not to push the weight against the head as you excercise) and doing sets of 15-20 or so. You would get quicker results and more powerful abs. [ Alin75's advice column | Ask Alin75 A Question ]
Shortie8959 answered Sunday January 9 2005, 10:22 pm: Well, ya it is. You should really only start with 20-30 a day, and then increase the number as you get more used to it, but 300-600 is really bad for you. You shouldn't overexert yourself. Good luck!
Hope I helped!

AsKmE135 answered Sunday January 9 2005, 10:16 pm: yea it probably is. working out too much could stunt your growth if you are still growing. And im not 100% sure about this but i think that by straining your muscles too much you could get a hernia (sp?) in your stomach muscles. And I heard that doing sit ups everyday won't do any good, that you should only do them once a week b/c if you do them too much then your muscles will never have any time to develop.
