How many sit-ups are effective?

Sit-ups can help us achieve a good goal of physical training. Many people use sit-ups to shape their abdominal muscles and improve their body's immunity and resistance. However, when doing sit-ups, you must master scientific methods and techniques, and also master the number of sit-ups. Some people may hurt themselves by doing too many sit-ups. So how many sit-ups is appropriate?

Do abs every other day, even though most people only do this three times a week.

Quantity: Although many people do hundreds of sit-ups at a time, it is recommended that you choose 2-4 exercises that are most effective for you and do only three sets of 30-50 times each. Each set should reach complete exhaustion. My ab workouts never last longer than 15 minutes.

Weight: The heavier the weight you use when training your abdominal muscles, the more likely it is that your movements will be irregular and your waist will become thicker. The idea that you can burn more fat by gaining more weight is wrong. Therefore, it is recommended that you use tension and control instead of weight, and use your mind rather than external weight to tighten and stimulate your abdominal muscles. ☆Continuous tension: When training the abdominal muscles, you should keep the abdominal muscles continuously tense throughout the entire set, and do not let them relax, whether at the beginning or at the end of the movement.

Always go to complete failure: Each set should be done to complete failure. Do not count the reps and continue until you can no longer contract your abdominal muscles.

No need to stretch completely: when training your abdominal muscles, do not arch your back but instead keep your chest slightly inward so that the tension is concentrated on the abdomen. The straighter your upper body is stretched, the more your hips are involved, which not only reduces the stress on your abdominal muscles but also increases the risk of lower back strain.

Only by understanding from multiple aspects and knowing how many sit-ups are effective can we effectively perform sit-ups to benefit ourselves. We must do more exercise in our daily life to improve our physical fitness. We can also do push-ups to exercise our bodies in our daily life.
