What should you pay attention to when doing sit-ups?

Sit-ups are a way of exercising. If people do them regularly, it can strengthen our body. Sit-ups are relatively simple to do, but there are some operational misunderstandings in life, which greatly affect our fitness results. Next, the editor will explain in detail what are the misunderstandings about sit-ups? Hope it helps you.

Myth 1:

Some people don't have time to go to the gym to exercise, so they choose to do some basic and effective simple exercises at home to exercise their bodies, hoping to achieve the effect of losing weight. Sit-ups are a method chosen by many people. Many people think that as long as they keep doing it, they can achieve the goal of losing weight.

Correction: Simply relying on sit-ups can only achieve local fitness effects, because sit-ups directly target the abdominal muscle groups. Long-term exercise may strengthen the abdominal muscles, but other parts of the body, such as the thighs and buttocks, will get less exercise. Therefore, the first point to note is to effectively combine sit-ups with other fitness methods to achieve the perfect weight loss effect.

Myth 2:

Many people usually do sit-ups quickly and vigorously, thinking that this shows that their abdominal muscles are stronger. In fact, doing so can easily strain the abdominal muscles.

Correction: The correct way to do it is to cross your arms in front of your chest, and control the force of your abdomen when sitting up. Or make it more difficult and hold weights in both hands to increase the effect of the exercise.

Myth 3:

Many people's bodies will unnaturally deviate in a certain direction when doing sit-ups. This is wrong, as it will cause uneven training of the abdominal muscles and thus distort your body shape.

Correction: You should try to control the direction of getting up and lying down, do not deviate from the straight line, and slow down the speed to exercise the control ability of the abdominal muscles. It is best to feel the movement of the abdominal muscles when getting up.

The number of sit-ups needs to be increased gradually. You can't do too many in normal times. The editor recommends that people under 30 years old should do 40 to 60 sit-ups per minute. The above content is some misunderstandings about sit-ups compiled by the editor. I hope you will pay more attention to these misunderstandings in your daily life. If they are not resolved in time, they will not achieve the fitness effect.
