What is the purpose of doing sit-ups?

Sit-ups are a fitness method that many friends prefer. If you continue to do this exercise, it will have a good weight loss effect, especially for those who have excess fat in the abdomen. Doing sit-ups can effectively consume abdominal fat and play a role in weight loss. Let's take a look at some of the main benefits of doing sit-ups for human health.

High-efficiency aerobic exercise is the best exercise for weight loss. Studies have shown that only by doing aerobic exercise for more than 20 minutes each time can you reduce the body's accumulated fat and achieve the goal of losing weight.

The main function of sit-ups is to strengthen the abdominal muscles. If done correctly, sit-ups can not only increase the elasticity of the abdominal muscles, but also protect the back and improve the body posture. On the other hand, if performed improperly, sit-ups are not only a waste of time, but can even be harmful.

Exercise your groin. There are many capillaries and acupoints in the groin. Doing sit-ups can stimulate the blood vessels in the groin, accelerate blood flow, and treat gynecological diseases. "Although sit-ups are simple, women should pay attention to the following points when doing them," Sun Weixing warned. Don't hold hands. Normally when we do sit-ups, we hold our heads with our hands and cross them. When a woman does not hold her head with her hands, but puts them on her ears, the waist will be stronger. Bend your legs and place your feet flat on the floor. When doing this, be sure to keep your knees close together, the tighter the better, so that you can exercise your groin and pelvic muscles.

1. Lie on your back and lift your legs, using your waist to support yourself. This will exercise your upper abdomen, thighs, and arm muscles. If you do this exercise frequently, you can have a charming waist curve.

2. Powerful abdominal exercise: Same as the third one, but the fulcrum of the feet becomes less, so you need more abdominal strength. If you want to get the abdominal effect quickly, practice this movement every day, but remember to take it step by step and don't experiment easily.

3. Abdominal exercise: Doing sit-ups correctly can exercise your abdominal muscles, allowing you to say goodbye to the nicknames of "big belly man" and "swimming ring".

4. Bend over and straighten your back: train your lower back muscles (deltoids, teres major, latissimus dorsi, etc.) to strengthen your back. Office workers may suffer from back pain, hunchback and back pain due to sitting for long periods of time. Doing this exercise more often can gradually improve these conditions.

Sit-ups are a great exercise for many parts of the body and can help you lose weight, but for those who are new to sit-ups, you must pay attention to the intensity. Doing too many at one time or exercising too fast can cause soreness in the belly and waist muscles, and sometimes affect a person's normal activities.
