Situps work the abs by flexing them along with the spine. Stuart McGill (who's the guy on spine health) would say that's a bad idea and probably recommend something like planks instead. Push ups aren't bad, but training your pecs and anterior delts only is a bad idea to do, especially for someone who sits at a computer all day. Get a band and at least do some pull aparts with it, 200 or so every week.
