Can sit-ups exercise abdominal muscles? Sit-ups can exercise hip and waist muscles more effectively than abdominal muscles. Sit-ups have a certain effect on abdominal muscle exercise, but the proportion is not obvious. If you have a lot of abdominal fat, the effect is even less obvious if you only do sit-ups to exercise your abdomen every day. People with a lot of abdominal fat should combine aerobic exercise with abdominal strength training to exercise muscles while reducing fat. If you don't have too much belly fat and just want to practice vest line, I suggest you do belly roll. The abdominal rolling action mainly exercises the rectus abdominis, which is the most central muscle of the abdomen. When doing belly roll, the buttocks are fixed, mainly relying on the contraction of abdominal muscles to make the upper back off the ground, which strongly stimulates the abdominal muscles.
How to do sit-ups to train the most effective abdominal muscles, we must know how many abdominal muscles people have.
We often say that people have eight abdominal muscles, which only refers to rectus abdominis. In addition to rectus abdominis, there are medial oblique muscle and lateral oblique muscle.
These pieces of training are in place, and the abdominal muscle lines can be well displayed.
Sit-ups are the biggest way to stimulate abdominal muscles.
Lift your legs at 90 degrees. Without the assistance of others, put your hands on your ears or cross your chest, and lift your upper body to stimulate the rectus abdominis.
Five Tips for Sit-ups Sit-ups have always been one of the most effective ways to lose weight, but many girls actually don't know how to do sit-ups correctly to lose weight. Here, I will introduce a few skills of doing sit-ups, so that you can lose weight correctly and quickly achieve the goal of throwing your stomach.
First, cooperate with breathing to reduce stomach. Need to cooperate with breathing, the muscles of the lower abdomen will become tight, achieving the effect of reducing stomach.
When practicing: exhale in the ascending state (when exerting force) and inhale in the retreating state. Be still, for example, keep an angle of 45 degrees, keep normal chest breathing, and don't hold your breath.
Second, don't hold your head in your hands. According to the normal understanding, when doing sit-ups, put your hands behind your head, and then use your hands to drive your body up when sitting up. Although this is scientific, it is easy to cause neck strain and the exercise effect will be reduced. So when we do sit-ups, we can put our hands on our chest.
Third, the height of getting up: keep a 45-degree angle Many people blindly think that the higher you get up when doing sit-ups, the better the exercise effect will be. Actually, this is not right. When we get up, we only need to keep a 45-degree angle, so that the abdomen can be squeezed better and the slimming effect is better.
1. Generally speaking, the angle between the body and the ground is 45 degrees when the line of sight looks directly at the flexion knee joint;
2. Feel it slowly when you rise. When you feel the greatest stress on your abdomen, it is 45 degrees and stop at this position.
Fourth, the speed is right. Many girls think that the faster you do sit-ups, the better you will lose weight. In fact, the faster the speed, the less pressure on the abdominal muscles. The correct way is to slow down as much as possible and exercise the control ability of abdominal muscles.
The most correct speed should be to get up faster and go down slowly.
Five, sit-ups+aerobic exercise Although sit-ups are very convenient, they can also achieve good weight loss purposes, but if you practice sit-ups with some aerobic exercise, the effect will be better.
