Situps don't actually use your abs, they use hip flexors moreso. Most people don't target their hipflexors and they are usually very weak for most people. I would say the average male or person even, would not be able to do this.

As said in the video: this is more about center of mass. I have a long torso so it's impossible for me even though I'm thin.
Just gave it a try and it was pretty easy? Did like 10 of them and went back to couch.
How fit/strong are you?
Not super fit. I go to the gym twice a week. I am at 90 kilos with 20% body fat
Very easy. I'm not super fit or anything. I have kind of an active job. I guess I could see how it'd be harder if you were jacked on top or real long.
I was going to answer, but I’m not the average man.
