Sit-ups can reduce belly fat, but why are they not very effective in reducing belly fat? Sit-ups are basically anaerobic exercises, which consume very little subcutaneous fat. The abdominal muscle groups are very small, and the body does not consume many calories when repairing muscles strained during exercise. If you want to lose subcutaneous fat through anaerobic exercise: focus on high-intensity thigh, upper limb and back muscle training. After this exercise, the body will consume a large amount of calories in addition to static metabolism during the repair process.

Exercising a lot may not burn fat, but instead exercise the muscles in the abdomen, achieving the opposite purpose. In short, in order to have a good figure, it is not easy to achieve it without hard work.
