How about doing sit-ups?

Sit-ups may be a simple thing for many people, but in the eyes of sports experts, sit-ups can be done this way. They believe that sit-ups should be done with a plan and purpose, and with standard postures, which is the most effective. So how do sit-ups do it? Next, let me introduce to you some relevant content about how to do sit-ups.

Method and steps: Place your feet flat on the ground, spread your knees shoulder-width apart, bend your knees about 90 degrees, and bend your knees to avoid injuries to your waist and back. When fixing or pressing your ankle, do not use excessive force to avoid using the thigh and hip flexor muscles, which will reduce the consumption of abdominal muscles. The position of your hands should be determined based on the strength of your abdominal muscles. The closer your hands are to your head, the more strenuous it will feel. When you first do sit-ups, you can place your hands on both sides of your body. Once you get better, you can cross your hands in front of your chest or place them beside your ears. Do sit-ups slowly, like in slow motion; don't move too fast to avoid straining your abdominal muscles. Breathe normally and don't hold your breath.

When you sit up, you should exhale, which will exercise the deeper abdominal muscles. After your body is 15 to 30 centimeters off the ground, you should pause for a moment and tighten your abdominal muscles, then lie down slowly and return to the original position. When your back touches the ground, you can start the next sit-up and repeat this cycle.

Beginners should avoid doing too much at one time. They can start with 5 times, then add one more time each time until they can do 15 times in a set, and then slowly progress to 3 sets. Note: Do not force your elbows to touch your knees, so as not to damage the cervical spine and cause nerve compression; do not force your body to rotate (right elbow touching left knee, left elbow touching right knee, etc.), as this will not help strengthen your abdominal muscles and may even cause your lower back to be injured due to the pressure caused by the rotation.

Sit-ups are actually very good exercises. You can do them in your free time in life. You must persist while doing them. We cannot give up halfway, we must exercise consistently. At the same time, you can refer to the above content and do standard sit-ups properly.
