In order to lose weight as quickly as possible, many people often do sit-ups before going to bed at night. If you persist in this kind of exercise for a long time, it can help reduce your belly fat. However, when doing this exercise, you must pay attention to the correct posture, exercise speed, etc. Otherwise, not only will it not have a good weight loss effect, but it may also cause harm to your body due to this exercise. You can't do sit-ups recklessly There are certain requirements for the speed when doing sit-ups. If you do it too fast, it will be very harmful to your body. Many people tend to do sit-ups too quickly, but this is inefficient because it uses the hip muscles more than the abdominal muscles. Not only that, but your hips transfer stress to your back, which can cause you discomfort during or after a workout. Experts remind that sit-ups should be done slowly, concentrating on controlling every detail of the movement. The pelvis and ribs should move at the same time, and the neck and shoulders should be kept relaxed to avoid excessive tension in the upper body and strain. Dangers of sit-ups: Back discomfort Many people tend to do sit-ups too quickly, but this is inefficient because it uses the hip muscles more than the abdominal muscles. Not only that, but your hips transfer stress to your back, which can cause you discomfort during or after a workout. Spinal cord injury While exercising the abdominal muscles, the exerciser is also exercising the hip flexors, which may cause the back to bend and the spine to be damaged. People with underdeveloped abdominal muscles are particularly susceptible to injury. The leverage of the hip flexors may also lead to lumbar disc compression. When doing sit-ups, be sure to slow down your movements as much as possible so that you can achieve better weight loss results. When exercising, be careful to avoid holding your neck tightly with your hands, so as to prevent problems with your cervical spine due to excessive force. Also, be careful not to do this kind of exercise right after a meal to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. |
