What is the correct way to do sit-ups?

Many people are familiar with sit-ups, and you must have done a few before going to bed at night. But there is actually a method to do sit-ups. Most people only know the common one. And if your sit-up posture is incorrect, it may make your exercise unhealthy, which will affect your body. So it is very necessary to know this knowledge. Let's learn about it together below.

The local weight loss method of only training the abdominal muscles has no scientific basis. Ordinary people's idea is like seeing a doctor, mistakenly believing that "treating the head for a headache and the foot for a foot pain" can cure the disease.

From the perspective of sports, losing weight requires overall, systemic fat consumption. Simply increasing abdominal exercises cannot achieve the goal of losing belly fat. People who want to lose weight should insist on whole-body exercises, and on this basis increase abdominal exercises to achieve the goal of reducing the belly.

Running is the best whole-body exercise. This simple exercise can play a good role in weight loss. It needs to be emphasized that running should be moderate. Neither extremely fast nor extremely slow speeds can achieve the effect of scientific weight loss.

The correct way to do sit-ups

After lifting your body 10 to 20 cm off the ground, tighten your abdominal muscles and pause for a moment, then slowly lower your body back to its original position. When your back touches the ground, you can start the next cycle of movement.

During sit-ups, the abdominal muscles are only involved in the initial stages of the exercise, after which the hip flexors take over the task.

By the same token, turning the body at the end of sit-ups (right elbow touching left knee, left elbow touching right knee, etc.) will not only not help strengthen the abdominal muscles, but may even cause trauma to the lower back due to the pressure caused by the turning.

Once you know the correct way to do sit-ups, you can do it this way. This method will not only help you exercise, but also will not cause any harm to your body. Otherwise, you may unknowingly cause too much pressure on your body during exercise. This is very helpful for your body.
