If I want to train my abdominal muscles, do I need to lose fat first?

Many people who want to train their abdominal muscles want to know what they need to pay attention to when doing so. Some people don’t know how to train their abdominal muscles because they don’t have a good figure and have a lot of fat. Some people posted on the fitness forum, wondering whether they need to lose weight if they want to train their abdominal muscles, and whether the fat on the body will affect the training of the abdominal muscles. The answers are varied, making people who want to train their abdominal muscles very confused. Let's find out whether they need to lose fat first if they want to train their abdominal muscles.

1. While exercising your abdominal muscles, abdominal fat is in the process of burning. Do sit-ups every day, more often, and more times. If you have the conditions to run, it will be even better (this way, you will lose weight around your waist). The key is persistence, not how many movements you do, such as air bike pedaling, leg raises, kicking, sit-ups, side sit-ups, and half sit-ups. You can do these movements before you rest every day. There are no rigid rules. Immunity will decrease after exercise, so it is recommended not to do too much physical work after each exercise. Keep at it and your abs will show up. Reminder: Don’t forget to exercise your chest and back muscles while exercising your abdominal muscles, otherwise your body shape will be deformed. There will be a slight hunchback. Push-ups and pull-ups are also appropriate exercises, and it would be better if you have dumbbells.

2. If you have too much abdominal fat, you need to lose fat. Doing anaerobic abdominal muscle exercises alone will not have much effect on fat loss. The key to training your abdominal muscles lies in the intensity of the movements, not the more times the better. For example, if you can do 200 sit-ups at a time, it is not as good as if you can only do 10 sit-ups at both ends. Because being able to do more than 200 reps is a way to train your endurance, it does not significantly increase the thickness of your muscle fibers.

3. Run first, and then do sit-ups immediately after running. The abdominal muscles are different from the muscles in other parts of the body, and they need to be trained every day. It is enough to do 100 sit-ups a day, divided into four groups, with an interval of no more than one minute between each group. Coordinate your breathing, the movements must be standard, and the method of exerting force must be correct. Also, sit-ups can only train the upper abdominal muscles. The lower abdominal muscles, linea alba and oblique abdominal muscles need to be trained through crunches, air bikes, and with the assistance of horizontal bars and dumbbells. The first poster said that he does 200 in each group, so his method must be wrong.

The above is a detailed explanation and introduction on whether you need to lose fat before training your abdominal muscles. People who want to train their abdominal muscles must want to have a good figure. In this case, they can burn fat by exercising their abdominal muscles. If you feel that you are very fat and have a lot of fat, you must lose weight first. This requires long-term persistence.
