What are the correct postures for sit-ups?

Maybe many of us don’t know much about the correct postures for sit-ups. Doing more sit-ups is very helpful in improving our own immunity and resistance. It can also effectively help us exercise our abdominal muscles. The effect is very significant. We must develop some good habits of doing sit-ups regularly. Let us learn about the correct postures for sit-ups.

The correct way to do sit-ups: Lie on your back in bed, bend your legs normally, place your hands in half-clenched fists on both sides of your ears, and stretch your arms as much as possible. When doing the exercise, use your waist to exert force and straighten your upper body. Be careful not to let your waist leave the bed, then slowly lower your body back to the original position and repeat the above movements. As your abdominal muscles pull your body upward, you should exhale, ensuring that all the muscles deeper in the abdomen are working at the same time. During the exercise, do not straighten your legs, as this will do more harm than good.

The average person can do 30 to 42 reps per minute. Not too fast, not too slow.

Many sit-ups are done incorrectly.

Wrong action: Lie on the ground, bend your knees, lift your entire upper body, touch your elbows to your knees, and hold your head with your hands crossed around your neck.

Cause of error: This approach causes the thigh muscles to work instead of the abdominal muscles. This will cause strain on the waist muscles in the long run, while the hands will also compress the neck nerves.
