Doing sit-ups was originally a scam started by brother of chiropractic pioneer Daniel David Palmer

“I just wanted my brother to love me.”, Daniel David Palmer’s brother Douglas Dean Palmer told foxpews earlier today. “I wish I had never lied. I can’t even imagine how many lives I must have ruined by telling people they will get stronger abs by lying down and then moving up and down in an odd motion. I, honestly, never thought it would work. Okay maybe I did, but I was surprised very much that it did indeed work. I was baffled, but having my brother’s love and respect made everything okay. Until right this very moment, that is. I am so very sorry. If you have back pain having done hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of sit-ups, I take full blame. Please. Please forgive me.”
