How do you breathe while doing sit-ups?

Doing sit-ups is a very simple exercise, and many people all over the world, both in China and abroad, are practicing sit-ups. They exercise their bodies and improve their quality through push-ups. Sit-ups have always been very popular. We need to master the correct method of sit-ups so that we can do them correctly without injuring the waist. So how do you breathe when doing sit-ups?

[China Know-it-all] Do not hold your head with your hands when doing sit-ups, otherwise it will cause your back to bend, the lumbar disc to compress, and damage the spine. In addition, subconsciously holding your head with both hands will invisibly increase the pressure on the cervical spine.

In addition, if you stretch your legs when doing sit-ups, the harm will be more serious. It has been measured that this exercise posture will generate 3300 Newtons of force in the spine, causing injuries to the waist and back.

Czech physiologist Dr. Vladimir Janda recommends that in order to relax the hip flexors to the greatest extent and avoid injuries to the waist and spine, when doing sit-ups, you should lie flat with your knees bent, let your partner hold your calves, and while standing up, push your legs backward.

Correct sit-ups require coordination with breathing: bend your legs to 45 degrees, with the soles of your feet parallel to the ground; place your hands on the surface of your thighs, and when you stand up, move your hands towards your knees, or place your hands near your temples; relax your neck and shoulders, keep your head straight, and separate your chin from your chest; use your abdominal muscles to slowly lift your shoulders off the ground while exhaling; keep your body bent for 2-3 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position while inhaling.

Men do sit-ups not only to exercise their abdominal muscles. Of course, exercising the abdominal muscles is the main thing. If the abdominal muscles are well trained, many problems can be solved. What I want to say is that it would be perfect if other aspects of the body can be exercised at the same time while exercising the abdominal muscles! !

Many people like to hold their breath when doing sit-ups. They think that if they can do several sit-ups in one breath, their body will not feel too tired. But everyone knows that when doing sit-ups, you must cooperate with even breathing, so that it can be beneficial to the body. If you hold your breath for a long time, too many sit-ups will have an impact on your body.
