At one point when I was in my early 30s, I did 1000 sit-ups a day. I recently completed a set of 100 and managed to get a raw spot on the lower back.
The situation is such that most men in modern society have been reduced willy-nilly to the status of spectators. And such are the stresses of our modern world, getting worse each day, that the marks of age already begin to appear upon more and more men when they are no more than 30. Excess weight brings on cholesterol disorders and weakens the heart of modern urban man. Too much drinking ravages his liver. The pressure of nervous tension gives him stomach ulcers. And how pitiful a spectacle is the thriving business our drugstores do, crowded as they are with men seeking some alleviation for their ills.

Before going to sleep at night, I put baby diaper rash ointment (with zinc oxide as the active ingredient) on the abrasions from situps. In a couple of days, the sores began to dry and were no longer painful when doing situps.
The zinc oxide ointment is a big help, but burns and rash from situps still are a problem. I’m just doing a 100 regular situps in my morning workout. Added to that are 100 crunches. Around noon and again at night, I’m doing 7 to 12 regular situps with a 15 lb. dumbell. This way, I’m continuing to exercise abdominal muscles without further irritating the skin.
