The correct way to do sit-ups, the correct posture for sit-ups

Everyone wants a flat belly, and everyone knows that sit-ups can slim the waist and abdomen, but how much do you know about sit-ups? Let me teach you how to do sit-ups to lose weight!

Wrong actions for waist and abdomen weight loss:

1. The body is not raised high enough: Many people do sit-ups for years, only lifting their head and shoulders off the ground. It’s just a wrong posture and can’t really achieve the effect of reducing belly fat.

2. Hold your head and neck and pull it up: Many people like to hold the back of their heads with both hands when doing sit-ups and then use their hands to lift up the entire head, which will cause pressure on the neck.

Wrong posture can easily cause sports injuries. If you want to achieve the desired effect of sit-ups, then quickly look at how to do it in the correct posture and stop doing "useless work"!

Correct movements for waist and abdomen weight loss:

1. Relax your body and lie on your back on the bed or on the floor.

2. Raise your legs and place them on bedding or a chair so that your knees and hips are approximately at right angles. This will prevent the thigh and groin muscles from being involved in exerting force.

Editor's suggestion: If the height of the bed or chair is not suitable, you can stack them up with books or magazines, and the height can be freely controlled.

3. Cross your hands in front of your chest.

4. After starting the movement, contract your abdominal muscles, lift your upper body up, and feel your shoulder blades (upper back) leave the bed.

The editor recommends : It is best to lie on a yoga mat with greater friction to prevent your buttocks from rushing forward with the movement of your body, affecting the standard of the movement.

5. Then slowly lower yourself until your shoulder blades lightly touch the bed, and immediately repeat the next movement.

6. Generally, do 2 to 3 sets each time, rest for about 1 minute between sets, and 15 to 20 times per set.

Note: During the movement, the waist should not leave the bed or the ground at all times, only the upper body is lifted and lowered.

Editor's suggestion:

You can observe whether your head or elbows touch your knees. If so, it means that your waist has left the ground, so you should pay attention to correct it. To make it easier, place your hands at your sides or reach them up and forward, touching your knees with your fingers as you lift your torso. If you want to increase the difficulty, you can slow down the movement or increase the number of times. This movement does not have a large range of motion, but it is very effective for the abdominal muscles and is one of the basic movements in fitness training.

Tip: Beginners can choose to do it on a fitness ball, which can better protect the waist muscles, but pay attention to controlling the balance.
