What are some breathing methods when doing sit-ups?

Sit-ups are actually a very easy exercise for us, but when doing sit-ups we sometimes feel difficulty breathing, or difficulty breathing, shortness of breath and other problems. However, we still have to do sit-ups in our lives to exercise ourselves. Next, let me introduce to you the breathing method for doing sit-ups. Everyone should study hard.

Generally speaking, when exerting force, human muscles contract, the volume of the chest and abdominal cavity shrinks, and the internal pressure increases. Exhaling becomes easy, while inhaling becomes a difficult task. Can you understand? When doing sit-ups, standing up is the time to exert force. Can you still breathe in? The OP is truly no ordinary person!

I guess it's because when you stood up, you forced yourself to take a breath, which caused the volume of the chest and abdominal cavity to increase actively, and the abdomen to swell, so the movement was not completed fully. In addition, it may be that your legs are placed straight, increasing the volume of the abdominal cavity. So you have more energy to complete more reps. But this is all incorrect. I'm sure the OP must have done sit-ups on a flat mat. By doing this, the intensity is lower, the muscle contraction is not sufficient, the intrathoracic and abdominal pressure is not high enough, and you can still complete the inhalation movement. If you are on a machine in the gym where the feet are high and the head is low. It is absolutely impossible to complete such a difficult movement as exerting force and breathing at the same time!

Obviously, non-standard movements will not achieve the best results. So, you still have to do sit-ups the right way. Exhale when you stand up and inhale when you lie down. Bend your knees and place your feet on the ground. If it's too little, you can take a short break and do a few more sets.

Some people say that you should exhale when you stand up and inhale when you lie down; others say that you should inhale when you stand up and exhale when you lie down; there is also a method that involves holding your breath. There are many different opinions.

After reading the above knowledge about breathing methods when doing sit-ups, have you learned a lot? Remember to adjust your breathing when doing sit-ups. A good breathing method is also beneficial for our exercise. Here the editor also reminds everyone that if you want to avoid sports injuries, you should do warm-up exercises before exercise.
