hey, im 19 yr old guy, and I have a confession:  I have NEVER worked out in my entire life, NEVER did sports.  I'm NOT obese....and my stomach is soft, with a tiny bit of fat covering it.  I am really soft, not much muscle at all.

I decided to start working out this morning.  I started doing sit-ups and I was able to do 150 in one sitting.  I wasn't sore or tired at all!  Is this natural??  Does this mean I can get abs sooner than most people?  I have never done any physical activity ever.  

Let me know your experiences!

You probably werent doing them correctly.

well, i had my feet flat on the floor, and I had my hands behind my head the whole time.  I continuously went up, half way, paused for a second, and then went back down.

You're supposed to almost touch your kness when you come up.

You don't go halfway.

all the workout videos out there and my gym teacher always said to "go half way" and that touching the knees was wrong.

so what exactly is the "right way"??

anyway, you probably just have a lot of muscle sitting under the fat lol. could be genetic. it's normal. hell, in this day and age, anything is normal.
