Points to note when doing sit-ups to reduce belly fat

Coordinate with breathing

To reduce the belly, you need to coordinate your breathing. The lower abdominal muscles will become firmer, achieving the effect of reducing the belly.

When practicing: exhale when you are rising (when you are exerting force), and inhale when you are releasing force. In a static state, for example, when maintaining a 45-degree angle, maintain normal chest breathing and do not hold your breath.

Normally: Abdominal breathing helps to tighten the transverse abdominal muscles. When inhaling, feel the abdominal cavity pulling inward and upward, inhale fully and then exhale deeply. You can consciously practice abdominal breathing when sitting, standing or walking, and make it a habit.

Slimming principle: This breathing method ensures that the muscles deeper in the abdomen are involved in the work at the same time.

Tip: You may not be used to abdominal breathing when you first start practicing, or even suddenly you don’t know how to breathe, but this breathing method not only helps stimulate gastrointestinal motility and promote the excretion of waste in the body, but also makes the airflow smooth and increases lung capacity. In addition, abdominal breathing is a good way to prevent constipation.

Don't hold your head with your hands

The traditional sit-up is to cross the fingers of both hands and place them behind the head, but in the process of sitting up, you often use the strength of your hands to lift your head, which can easily cause neck muscle strain. The correct way is to cross your arms in front of your chest, or place your hands beside your ears. When sitting up, you should use your abdomen rather than your arms.

Slimming principle: Crossing the fingers of both hands and placing them behind the head can easily cause the back to bend, the lumbar disc to compress, and the spine to be damaged. It will also reduce the workload of the abdominal muscles.

Tip: When you put your hands on your ears, remember not to press hard on your ears. Beginners of sit-ups can also place their hands at their sides to make getting up easier.

From the above paragraphs, we can see that doing a moderate amount of sit-ups every day can achieve a good effect of weight loss. So I hope my friends will pay attention to this area that they usually ignore, so that more targeted data can help us find the right direction. Of course, we also need to master the correct standard movements of sit-ups, but we must also do things within our ability and not act recklessly.
