Depends on your body composition. You can be a fat, flabby bastard at 75 kg or very athletic at 85 kg. :)

To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.
It's what you do that counts, but it's how you do it which separates you from the rest.
You can't have creativity unless you leave behind the bounded, the fixed, all the rules.

Yeah as Miran said, it depends on your body structure.. I thought 75 might be average.

Your hight and build doesn't matter. Get your body fat % down to 10% and you'll see your abs.

if u keep your feet off the ground while doing combos and x overs you will be working your abs  more ! because you tend to contract your
abdominal area more and put more pressure. Having a low fat % around that area helps as well for more definition.

Of course sits are good for your abs, not to mention the core muscles beneath your abs.  How could they not be?

Is it a complete abdominal workout, though?  No, and I wouldn't completely substitute doing sits for other ab/core exercises.  You're smart to even think of health benefits... cheers.

How? He was asking if sits are good for abs in an aesthetic way, not functional.

Because you're exercising all these muscles when controlling a ball, switching to sole juggles, fast leg movements, etc.  You're exercising the hell out of them, and logically the result, over time, will be "nicer abs."   You couldn't imagine strong, well exercised core/ab muscles to be anything but cut, trim and aesthetically correlative to their fitness, right?
