What should you pay attention to when doing sit-ups as an aerobic exercise?

With the progress of the times, more and more people pay more attention to fitness. There are many aerobic exercises around us, but which one is the healthiest and most effective also confuses us. The most common exercise, sit-ups, is an aerobic exercise that will not cause the body to produce too much lactic acid, but at the same time, sit-ups are the best way to slim the waist and train the vest muscles. Below I will introduce to you what you should pay attention to during the process.

Precautions

1. Gradually increase the number of sit-ups

For a participant who has just started to train abdominal muscles with sit-ups, the principle is to do no more than 10 sit-ups each time (train your abdominal muscle strength first). After completing each sit-up, you should stand up or lie down to rest and allow your abdominal muscles to relax for more than 10 minutes.

2. Do sit-ups slowly

The main training goal is the endurance of the abdominal muscles. Therefore, only by slowly performing sit-ups can the endurance of the abdominal muscles be effectively trained.

3. Sit-ups

The muscles in the upper abdomen of the human body mainly include the rectus abdominis, external oblique muscles and internal oblique muscles. Therefore, if sit-ups are performed with the upper body in the sagittal plane (sitting with shoulders parallel), the training effect of the external and internal oblique muscles will be significantly limited. Only by adding rotation of the body's longitudinal axis (right shoulder girdle to the left leg and left shoulder girdle to the right leg) can the incoordination of abdominal muscle training be avoided.

In addition to the upper body movements, in order to avoid excessive load on the lower abdominal flexion hip joint muscles during sit-ups, the knee joints should be flexed when doing sit-ups. However, doing sit-ups in this supine, knee-bent position will limit the training effect of the lower abdominal muscles. Therefore, for middle-aged men and women who focus on training their lower abdominal fat, appropriately performing knee-bending and leg-lifting exercises can more effectively train the lower abdominal muscles and achieve the goal of training the abdominal (upper and lower abdominal) muscles.

In our lives, many people do not know the benefits of aerobic exercises such as sit-ups. Through the editor's introduction, I believe everyone will have an understanding of aerobic exercise. At the same time, there must be many girls who want to exercise and want to try sit-ups to lose weight and keep fit. I believe that if you exercise according to the above introduction, many people can have a healthy and strong body.
