Can sit-ups really build abdominal muscles?

There are many kinds of sports nowadays, and generally people choose to exercise in two ways. One is just to exercise and make themselves healthier, and the other is to lose weight. So how much do you know about healthy weight loss? Some people do sit-ups to lose belly fat, while others do them to build abdominal muscles and make their bodies look more graceful.

Sit-ups: Lie flat on the floor with your calves resting on a bench. Then contract your shoulders and create an arc in your upper abdomen, as if you are rolling forward. I don't push my head forward so far that it touches my legs when I do the exercise because that means my back will be off the ground and my hips will start to take on the work that should be done by my abdomen. As I descend, I slowly lower my shoulders back to the ground, never relaxing my abs. Many people like to hold their hands behind their head when doing this exercise, but most of the time, all they do is pull their head forward. I usually put my fists in front of me.

Hanging leg raise: When doing this exercise, you should first pay attention to avoid swaying, keep your body tense, and control the speed of the movement. To hit my intercostal muscles, I rotate my knees side to side, which also works my obliques. The key to correctly raising your legs is to extend your hips slightly forward. Do it my way, the exercises are very strenuous but will totally work your abs. The speed of the movement varies from person to person, but make sure you lower your legs slowly. To prevent swaying. Remember: your goal is to build abdominal muscles. Instead of lifting your legs up in any way you can.

Seated leg raise: This exercise can better stimulate the lower abdominal muscles. Without bending your knees, lift your legs up. Until your toes are parallel to your eyes, then control it. Control and tension are crucial throughout the movement, and even the slightest slip-up can result in a lower back injury. As your abdominal muscles become more and more fatigued, you can gradually bend your knees until you are completely exhausted.

It turns out there are so many ways to train your abdominal muscles. I am amazed by it myself. Generally speaking, there are many ways to do sit-ups to exercise your abdominal muscles. Don't lift your waist too high, as this is actually the wrong way. Another thing we all need to note is that although sit-ups can help exercise the abdominal muscles, we still need to be careful to do them in moderation.
