How to Lose Weight and Build Muscle

For some young people, having a strong body is very important. It is also a goal that some people who understand health need to pursue most. A beautiful and strong body symbolizes that our body is very healthy, and sometimes it can also attract the attention of the opposite sex. Therefore, regular muscle exercise is a very happy thing, but how to exercise muscles in life? Here are several methods.

Traditional sit-ups are done with the fingers of both hands crossed behind the head. During the sit-up process, people often use the strength of their hands to lift their heads up, which can easily cause neck muscle strain. The correct way to do it is to cross your arms in front of your chest and use your abdomen, not your arms, to exert force when sitting up. Generally speaking, the closer your hands are to your head, the harder it is to get up. If you want to increase the difficulty, you can stack your hands behind your head.

Traditional sit-ups require your feet to be fixed, which puts more pressure on your thighs and hip flexors and reduces the role of your 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. Therefore, when using external force, you should pay attention to using moderate force.

The physical education standard requires doing more than 30 sit-ups within 1 minute, so many people think that sit-ups require speed, but this is not the case. The faster you do sit-ups, the less stress there will be on your abdominal muscles. The correct way to do it is to slow down as much as possible, exercise the control ability of the abdominal muscles, and pay attention to exhaling when standing up, so that the deeper abdominal muscles can be exercised at the same time.

Through the above introduction, we will understand how to lose weight and exercise muscles in life, but muscle exercise is not just about daily fitness, a reasonable diet is also very important. When exercising, you must pay attention to establishing a complete fitness plan, try to reduce the intake of greasy food, and try to eat more foods high in protein.
