I think the image is a bit deceiving. The first image is indeed a crunch, not a sit up. The hip flexors don't appear to be used, and the lower back stays flat against the ground, and never arches. I think it becomes a sit up when the lower back comes off the ground, and/or the knees hit your mid thigh.

A slight bit off topic, I mentioned before my lower back is not a happy place and is generally weak. If you are very careful, weight training the back muscles can help immensely. I used to have nights where i had to lay flat on the ground, tucked with my thighs to my chest (so my back was fully straight on the ground) and would just wait for hours until the pain went away. I haven't had a reaccurance since I've built up my back muscles.

I apologize for weak grammar, I just awoke from a nap. :huh:
