What are the side effects of sit-ups?

I believe that many friends are familiar with the exercise of sit-ups. Sit-ups are a very popular form of exercise. Men, women, young and old can do sit-ups appropriately. And insisting on doing sit-ups can effectively help us exercise our waist, abdomen and back muscles. So what are the side effects of sit-ups? Let’s find out together!

Generally speaking, the initial purpose of doing this is to train the abdominal muscles. From the perspective of exercise, the most effective way to train the abdominal muscles is isolated exercise, which consumes more abdominal fat. You can train six abdominal muscles in eight minutes. The abdominal muscle tearer teaching movements are more targeted, but sit-ups exert force on multiple muscle groups, so they also have good training value for trunk strength. The most important thing is that the cost is very low and it is easier to stick to.

The damage to our bodies caused by standard sit-ups is bearable. Here are two common mistakes:

1. Don’t put your hands behind your head, let alone hug your head. Put them on both sides of your ears, so as not to put more pressure on your lumbar spine.

2. Don't touch your knees with your elbows, as this will relax your abdominal muscles. The key to muscle exercise is to contract the muscles and lift your shoulder blades off the ground. As for the difference in amplitude, it is just the difference in the strength of the three rows of muscles in the upper six abdominal muscles. Therefore, the specific abdominal muscle training can be controlled by the amplitude of sit-ups.

There is no kind of exercise that is completely harmless to our body, only benefits. Exercise is the process of destroying and rebuilding our muscle cells. What is really harmful to us is the incorrect force caused by improper or even wrong posture.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone already knows that sit-ups themselves have no side effects on our daily exercise, and they can also exercise the muscles of the waist and abdomen and strengthen the body. However, if the posture is incorrect or not standard when doing sit-ups, it can easily cause damage to our lumbar and cervical vertebrae.
