What are the sit-up exercises?

Sit-ups are a very good exercise for weight loss, especially for those who have a belly fat. Doing moderate sit-ups every day can effectively help the abdominal fat be quickly consumed, thus having a good weight loss effect. You just need to pay attention to the method when exercising. The following editor will introduce how to do sit-ups to achieve better weight loss exercise results.

The correct way to do sit-ups:

1. Bend your knees and lie on the ground with your feet slightly apart. Keep your stride shoulder-width apart. Make sure your hips, lower back, back, shoulder blades, and shoulders are completely in contact with the ground. Bend your elbows and place your hands under your head. Press your elbows down to the ground as much as possible to fully open your chest.

2. In this lying position, tilt your head up slightly, lift the part above your back off the ground, stretch the muscles between your shoulder blades, tighten your chin down, look up at your abdomen, maintain this position off the ground for 4 seconds, then lie down again, and repeat 2 times.

3. Lift the part above your back off the ground, hold this position, then release your hands that were supporting the back of your head, stretch your right arm diagonally upwards, with an angle of about 45 degrees to the ground, and lower your left arm and stretch it to the left side of your body. Be careful not to touch the ground; keep it parallel to the ground.

4. Continue to keep your head and shoulders lifted off the ground. Now raise your left arm, also maintaining a 45-degree angle with the ground, and swing your right arm down, also without touching the ground, parallel to the ground. Swing your arms alternately back and forth 4 times.

5. Then stretch both arms upwards at the same time, widening the angle with the ground to 60 degrees. Straighten both legs and lift them upwards with the soles of the feet facing the ceiling, making the legs perpendicular to the ground. The back and head remain off the ground. Hold the position for another 4 seconds.

6. Bend your knees with your legs raised, lower your calves so that your thighs and calves form a 90-degree right angle. Do not change the position of your thighs. Retract your arms, bend your elbows and hold them behind your head. Open your chest again. Remember to tuck your chin in and focus your eyes on your abdomen again.

7. Bend your knees and lift your legs. Cross your calves, starting with the right calf on top. Hold for 4 seconds. Keep your upper body balanced, keep your back and head off the ground, and be careful not to bring your arms together. Continue to open your chest.

8. Then in the same way, release the crossed calves and cross them again. This time, place the left calf on top of the right one, and repeat the crossing movement back and forth 16 times. During the whole set of movements, you must tighten your abdominal muscles, use the movements of other parts of the body to stimulate the abdominal muscles, and proceed step by step.

When doing sit-ups, it is best to slowly increase the amount of exercise, and you can also do some warm-up preparations at the beginning to avoid feeling soreness in the belly muscles after a long period of sit-ups. You can also massage the abdominal muscles moderately after doing sit-ups.
