what's proper form of situps?

[picard]

what's the proper form for situps? I am getting conflicting information about proper form. Should I raise my body with arms behind my heads and let my head touch the knees; or should I raise my body partially with arms stretch out and let the arms touch the knees?

You might start a debate. Hands-behind-head is the old favorite, but some people are concerned about inadvertant pulling on the back of the neck that may cause injury.
