What is a twist sit-up

We all know that sit-ups are a form of exercise that can enhance our physical fitness, improve immunity, and maintain a fit body. Do you know the twist sit-up? It adds some movements to sit-ups, and the effect will be even better! So, what are twist sit-ups? What are the standard actions? Let me give you a brief introduction!

1. Action Description

Slowly curl up your upper body, bend your torso and turn it to the left, moving the right elbow joint towards the left knee, arch your back and raise your shoulders, with your lower back still lying on the mat, hold for a moment, and then return to the original position. Repeat the above steps. Alternate left and right sides

2. Tips for maintaining posture

Move slowly and in a controlled manner through a full range of motion, avoiding forceful movements.

As you curl your body upward, avoid thrusting your jaw and neck forward. Slightly tuck your chin in and keep your spine and neck centered.

Avoid pulling your torso upward with force, and avoid using your shoulders to pull your elbows to turn. It is best to use your abdominal muscles alone to complete this exercise.

Avoid shrugging your shoulders. Keep your chest up and your shoulders down. Exhale as you bend upward.

3. Exercise muscle groups

Spine: rectus abdominis, external obliques, and internal obliques

4. Stabilizing muscles

Abdominal muscles.

Neck: sternocleidomastoid muscle.

Scapula: serratus anterior, rhomboids, and lower trapezius.

The twist sit-up is actually based on the normal sit-up, with a twist after each standing up movement. The requirement is to pass the right elbow over the left knee. Similarly, the next one is to pass the left elbow over the right knee.

It is also important to note that twist sit-ups are similar to sit-ups in that they both require slow motion to exercise the control of the abdominal muscles. Remember to exhale when you stand up, so that the deeper abdominal muscles can be exercised at the same time.

I think everyone knows what twist sit-ups are! If you persist tomorrow, unexpected results will occur! If you persist for 21 days, you will develop good habits. In addition, you should also develop good living habits and eating hygiene habits, participate in more physical exercises, supplement vitamins, and strengthen your physical fitness. Then you will not get sick so easily. The important thing is to maintain a healthy body and a fit figure, and radiate charming charm from the outside. Let’s take action quickly!
