As a common fitness equipment in gyms, the abdominal muscle board has always been loved by many fitness enthusiasts who pay more attention to the waist and abdomen. It can exercise the abdominal muscles very well.

How to use

Sit-ups can directly target the abdominal muscle groups. Through subtle changes in movements, the muscles in different parts of the abdomen can be exercised, ultimately achieving a shaping effect. The most common sit-up method is to lie on your back with your knees bent to about 90 degrees, your feet flat on the ground, use external force to fix them, and then use your abdominal muscles to sit up.

1. Position of hands

In traditional sit-ups, the fingers of both hands are crossed and placed behind the head. During the process of sitting up, people often use the strength of their hands to lift their head, which can easily cause strain on the neck muscles. The correct way is to place your hands slightly next to your ears. If you are doing it for the first time, you can cross your hands and place them on your abdomen to reduce the difficulty. When sitting up, you should use your abdomen to exert force, instead of using your hands to lift your head up as we usually do.

2. Point of force

When hooking their feet on the lower sponge pad of the supine board, many people will use their feet to exert force to lift the body up. This will increase the burden on the thigh and hip flexor muscles, thereby reducing the role of the abdominal muscles. When the external force increases, people tend to use their hips to complete the sit-up movement, which can easily cause damage to the waist and coccyx. When standing up, use your abdominal muscles to pull yourself up, and keep your back slightly bent. Don't stretch your back straight, otherwise it will easily cause back muscle strain. You cannot use brute force when doing a leverage project. If you can't get up, you need to rest.

The question of what fitness equipment is suitable for training abdominal muscles has been clearly explained above. If you want to develop more beautiful abdominal muscles, you can follow the methods described above to exercise, which will achieve very good results. When exercising your abdominal muscles, you must follow the correct method and avoid hurting other parts of the body.
