Many people like to do sit-ups to help themselves exercise their abdominal muscles. There are many ways to exercise abdominal muscles, and sit-ups are one of them. However, sit-ups are also a form of exercise that requires a lot of exercise, and many people cannot stick to it. Many people think that doing thirty sit-ups a day is enough, and they also want to exercise better abdominal muscles in this way. Abdominal muscles are very important for men, so can thirty sit-ups exercise abdominal muscles? The effect will not be too obvious Sit-ups are an important part of physical exercise, and some people even misunderstand that they can help lose belly fat. The main function of sit-ups is to strengthen the abdominal muscles. If done correctly, sit-ups can not only increase the elasticity of the abdominal muscles, but also protect the back and improve the body posture. On the other hand, if performed improperly, sit-ups are not only a waste of time, but can even be harmful. According to Stamford (1997), the correct way to do sit-ups is as follows: Lie on your back on a mat with your knees bent to about 90 degrees and your feet flat on the ground. Do not fix your feet on flat ground (for example, have a companion hold your ankles with their hands), otherwise the thigh and hip flexor muscles will join in the work, reducing the workload of the abdominal muscles. Furthermore, straight-leg sit-ups will increase the burden on the back and easily cause damage to it. The position of your hands should be determined based on the strength of your abdominal muscles, as the closer your hands are to your head, the more strenuous it will be to do sit-ups. Beginners can place their hands on both sides of the body. Once they have adapted or their physical fitness has improved, they can cross their hands in front of their chest. Finally, you can also try crossing your arms behind your head, but each hand should be placed on the shoulder on the opposite side of your body. Never cross your fingers and place them behind your head to avoid straining your neck muscles when exerting force. This will also reduce the workload of your abdominal muscles. Doing 30 sit-ups can help develop your abdominal muscles, but if you only do 30, the effect will not be the most obvious. 30 is okay for girls, but for men, it is best to do 100 sit-ups every day, so that the abdominal muscles will be better trained. You can also use dumbbells to exercise your abdominal muscles. |
