Are fitness equipment effective in training certain parts of the body?

Nowadays, many people like to do fitness in their spare time, and there are endless gyms around us. Many friends who like fitness like to go to the gym to exercise, because the fitness equipment in the gym is very rich, which can help us to exercise in all aspects. However, when going to the gym to exercise, you must choose the fitness equipment that suits you. So, is the fitness equipment effective in exercising certain parts?

How to use

Sit-ups can directly target the abdominal muscle groups. Through subtle changes in movements, the muscles in different parts of the abdomen can be exercised to ultimately achieve a shaping effect. The most common sit-up method is to lie on your back with your knees bent to about 90 degrees, your feet flat on the ground, use external force to fix them, and then use your abdominal muscles to sit up.

1. Position of hands

In traditional sit-ups, the fingers of both hands are crossed and placed behind the head. During the process of sitting up, people often use the strength of their hands to lift their head, which can easily cause strain on the neck muscles. The correct way is to place your hands slightly next to your ears. If you are doing it for the first time, you can cross your hands and place them on your abdomen to reduce the difficulty. When sitting up, you should use your abdomen to exert force, instead of using your hands to lift your head up as we usually do.

2. Point of force

When hooking their feet on the lower sponge pad of the supine board, many people will use their feet to exert force to lift the body up. This will increase the burden on the thigh and hip flexor muscles, thereby reducing the role of the abdominal muscles. When the external force increases, people tend to use their hips to complete the sit-up movement, which can easily cause damage to the waist and coccyx. When standing up, use your abdominal muscles to pull yourself up, and keep your back slightly bent. Don't stretch your back straight, otherwise it will easily cause back muscle strain. You cannot use brute force when doing a leverage project. If you can't get up, you need to rest.

3. Speed

When we do the physical fitness test, we count it by how many times per minute, which leads many people to think that the faster you do sit-ups, the better. This is a common problem among many sit-up practitioners. In fact, this is not the case. The faster the speed, the less pressure on the abdominal muscles. The correct method should be to slow down as much as possible and exercise the control ability of the abdominal muscles. You will find that when you do it in slow movements, your abdomen will have a burning feeling, which means the fat is burning. Exhale slowly when you stand up, and take a long breath when you lie down, controlling the rhythm.

After reading the above introduction, we should understand that achieving fitness effects cannot be achieved overnight. We must persist for a long time and have enough confidence and perseverance. Only in this way can we help everyone shape a perfect body. While exercising, we must also pay attention to diet control and remember not to overeat.
