How to do a half sit-up

I believe everyone is familiar with the half sit-up exercise method, but it is difficult to judge whether the posture is correct, so it is recommended that everyone should learn the correct half sit-up. The method of half sit-ups is mainly to hold your head with both hands and hook your feet on a fixed object, then straighten your chest and back, balance your upper body at a 45-degree angle on the ground, and pay attention to the exercise time.

How to do a half sit-up

Lie on your back on the floor or a bench with your hands behind your head. Hook your feet onto a stool leg or other fixed object. Next, straighten your back and chest and lift your head up to lengthen the "gravity arm" of your upper body. Then, use the rectus abdominis to exert force and raise the upper body steadily. When it forms a 45-degree angle with the ground, maintain this position and do static exercise. Breathe smoothly through the chest. Do not hold your breath. Stay still for about 30 seconds and then relax.

Benefits of doing half sit-ups

1. Exercise your abdomen and reduce belly fat

The abdominal muscles use more force during half sit-ups. Long-term exercise mainly improves the strength of the abdomen and makes the muscle groups more developed. It is an effective way to exercise the abdominal muscles and one of the ways to reduce belly fat.

2. Relieve gynecological diseases

In addition to medication and physical therapy, women can insist on doing sit-ups at home, which is an auxiliary method for treating gynecological diseases.

3. Improve constipation

Doing half sit-ups is beneficial to gastrointestinal movement, but you need to coordinate your breathing method so that it can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis during the exercise, facilitate the discharge of waste from the body, and clear the air in the stomach and intestines.

Half sit-ups are not as simple as just doing half a sit-up. There are many techniques to pay attention to. Compared with normal sit-ups, this exercise method is more effective.
