What to do if muscle pain occurs during sit-ups?

Sit-ups are a very common and ordinary form of exercise. Many people don’t have much time to go to the gym, so it is very good to do some sit-ups regularly. You can do it at home, and there is no special choice for time and place. However, if you do sit-ups for a long time, you will easily feel very sore in your waist and back. What should you do?

Doing sit-ups every day can exercise our abdominal muscles, and the sit-up posture must be correct. Many people report that they have stomach pain after doing sit-ups, which is related to the misunderstanding of sit-ups.

Some people don't have time to go to the gym to exercise, so they choose to do some basic and effective simple exercises at home to exercise their bodies, hoping to achieve the effect of losing weight. Sit-ups are a method chosen by many people. Many people think that as long as they keep doing it, they can achieve the goal of losing weight.

Correction: Simply relying on sit-ups can only achieve local fitness effects, because sit-ups directly target the abdominal muscle groups. Long-term exercise may strengthen the abdominal muscles, but other parts of the body, such as the thighs and buttocks, will get less exercise.

Therefore, the first point to note is to effectively combine sit-ups with other fitness methods to achieve the perfect weight loss effect.

Many people usually do sit-ups quickly and vigorously, thinking that this shows that their abdominal muscles are stronger. In fact, doing so can easily strain the abdominal muscles.

Correction: The correct way to do it is to cross your arms in front of your chest, and control the force of your abdomen when sitting up. Or make it more difficult and hold weights in both hands to increase the effect of the exercise.

In fact, muscle soreness is very common. After a lot of exercise, the muscles will secrete a lot of lactic acid, and you will feel muscle soreness at this time. Especially for some people who don’t exercise much, such muscle soreness will be particularly obvious. But don’t worry too much, it will dissipate after a few days.
