How long is a piece of string?

It will sort itself out when it has repaired the damage you have done.

You'll be fine by the morning. The more you do it, the less it'll ache.

2/3 days generally

Plenty of food/water and sleep will repair quicker.

Sounds like you were curling up rather than sitting up... ribs/diaphram shouldnt hurt.

twist3d0n3 · 9 Feb 2011 at 18:03

you need to do reverse situps to make it heal faster

FACT

Crab position for as long as you can hold it, 4/5 times. Will cure the pain.
True story, You just need to stretch the muscles in the opposite direction.

Going straight to 75 straight away is a bit much. Start anew with 20, then increase it in steps.

Enjoy your DOMS.

Your body isn't conditioned for exercise hence the DOMS.
