Can sit-ups really reduce belly fat?

As people's life pressure increases, they pay little attention to their diet. Can sit-ups really help reduce belly fat? Generally, sit-ups are done to lose belly fat. Nowadays, more and more people pursue abdominal curves and want to have a six-pack. It takes a lot of hard work to get a perfect abdomen. It should be noted that there are some small details to pay attention to when practicing in order to better achieve the desired effect.

For example, standing height: stay at a 45-degree angle

The higher you stand up, the more effective sit-ups will be. The correct way is to keep your body at a 45-degree angle to the ground as long as possible (at least 30 seconds) to exercise your abdominal muscles most effectively.

Slimming principle: When the upper body is lifted up to form a 45-degree angle with the ground, the abdomen is at the best time to be stressed. No matter what kind of curling exercise we do, extending the duration of the 45-degree angle between the body and the ground can make the abdominal muscles get the most effective exercise. You should know that after standing up from traditional sit-ups, you need to let your forehead touch your knees before returning to the original position. That is, the upper body quickly rises from a lying position to about 90 degrees. In fact, the burden on the rectus abdominis has not reached the heaviest stage before standing up to 45 degrees. When the angle exceeds 45-90°, the "resistance arm" from the body's center of gravity to the hip fulcrum keeps shortening, and the rectus abdominis is not under much pressure. Only when the upper body is raised to 45 degrees is the best time for the rectus abdominis to "resistance growth function".

hint:

※How to determine the height to stand up

1. Generally speaking, when the line of sight is level with the bent knee joint, the angle between the body and the ground is 45 degrees;

2. Feel it slowly as you rise. When you feel the greatest force on your abdomen, it is a 45-degree angle. Stop at this position.

Can sit-ups really reduce belly fat? Many exercises and practices have proven that it is possible. If you want to lose weight, you can try it. But pay attention to the height. It can't be too low or too high, and you must not force it. This can easily harm the body and cause adverse effects such as muscle strain, waist damage, etc.
