Is it good to do more sit-ups?

Sit-ups are a common exercise in daily life. Women may do this exercise more because it can effectively exercise our abdomen. For example, women with more flesh can achieve good weight loss by doing sit-ups regularly. At the same time, sit-ups can also enhance our body's immunity and resistance. So the editor will give you a detailed explanation below, is it good to do more sit-ups?

Sit-ups:

Targeted muscles: Transverse abdominis and rectus abdominis.

Preparatory posture: The practitioner lies on his back with his face up on the ground, with his chin bent between 60 and 90 degrees, and his feet can be against the wall or flat on the ground. If the foot is supported on a wall, the toes can be slightly turned outward (at 11 and 1 o'clock), and if the foot is flat on the floor, the cap can be slightly open. Place your hands behind your head with your elbows pointed outward and your head and elbows aligned; or cross your arms in front of your chest. How to do it: Exhale, lift your head and shoulders off the ground, and when your shoulder blades are completely off the ground, tighten your abdomen at the same time, completely tightening your abdominal muscles. Then slowly lower the spine section by section, returning to the starting position.

Variation: Lift your feet higher and straighten your legs against a wall.

Key points:

1. When lifting, never use the strength of your hands to pull up your neck to avoid straining your neck muscles. The correct movement should be to keep your elbows open 180 degrees at all times and slightly support your head with both hands;

2. It is normal for the neck muscles to be tense at this time because you rely on the neck muscles to lift your head. However, if the pain is in the bones of the neck (spine), it is best to stop the above movements and choose a method that does not require the head to be raised, or practice with equipment;

3. Keep your head and spine in a straight line. Don't lift it too high, and don't let your chin rest against your collarbone.

The above is a detailed answer to the question of whether it is good to do more sit-ups. After my explanation, you can rest assured to do sit-ups. It will not bring side effects to our body. On the contrary, it can strengthen the abdominal and pectoral muscles. However, during the exercise process, we must follow the above methods to improve the effects it brings to our body.
