How many sit-ups do you need to do to be effective?

Sit-ups have always been a favorite exercise for many people. It does not require any venue and can be done at home. It also has many benefits. However, some people really want to know how many sit-ups they need to do to see the effect. Doing too many is not a big deal, but if you do too few, it is equivalent to not doing anything. So today, I will explain to you how many sit-ups we need to do to see the effect.

☆ 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, do only three sets, 30-50 times each set, and each set should reach complete exhaustion. My ab workouts never last longer than 15 minutes.

☆Weight: The heavier the weight used in abdominal muscle training, the greater the possibility of irregular movements, and it will also make the waist 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 reach complete exhaustion: Each set should be reached to complete exhaustion. Do not count the number of times, and continue to do it 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 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.

☆Training moves: Use three exercises and avoid monotony by changing their order often.

1. Sit-ups: Lie flat on the ground with your calves on a bench. Then contract your shoulders and create an arc with your upper abdomen, as if you are going to roll forward. I don't push my head so far forward that it touches my legs during the movement because that means my back will leave the ground and my hips will start to take on the work that should be done by my abdomen. As I descend, I slowly lower my shoulders back to the ground, never relaxing my abs.

Many people do this exercise by clasping their hands behind their head, but most of the time, all they do is pull their head forward. I usually put my fists in front of me.

The above is the relevant article about how many sit-ups you need to do to see the effect. After reading the above article, I believe everyone has a new understanding of sit-ups. No matter what you do, you must persist to see the effect.
