Introduce the benefits of doing sit-ups

Sit-ups are a good exercise method, but doing sit-ups is also very dangerous and harmful to the neck.

What are the advantages of doing sit-ups

Doing sit-ups can directly target the abdominal muscles. Through slight changes in movements, the muscles in different parts of the abdomen will be well exercised, and finally the effect of body shaping will be achieved.

Sit-ups can exercise abdominal muscles, so that exercisers can better control their bodies, because abdominal muscles belong to the core muscle group and play an important role in stabilizing the body. The strength of abdominal muscles has a good supporting role on the back, which enables exercisers to increase their physical strength in other aerobic sports and recreational activities.

Sit-ups can also lose weight, but you must do more than 150 to burn fat, otherwise you can only exercise abdominal muscles. Doing this for a long time will also do great harm to your spine.

In addition, sit-ups can also exercise abdominal muscles and tighten abdominal muscles, thus better protecting the organs in the abdominal cavity. And sit-ups can improve the body's disease resistance by stretching the cervical spine and regulating the central nervous system.

Sit-ups or paralysis

In fact, the exercise effect of sit-ups can be completely replaced by exercise methods such as flat support, which can avoid back injuries.

Sit-ups can easily lead to lumbar muscle strain, and standard posture is no longer recognized. Sit-ups mainly exercise some muscle groups, or want to strengthen the waist strength. However, when doing sit-ups, many people hold the back of the head tightly with their hands and then push forward hard to drive the upper body to sit up. Compared with the exercise of these muscle groups, it is really not worth the loss, because the damage to our neck and spine is really great.

What methods can replace sit-ups?

Traditional belly roll: We can lie on our back on the mat, with our lower back tightly attached to the ground, our hands on one side of our head, our arms open, our legs flat on the ground, our knees bent, and our jaws slightly retracted to our chest to contract our abdominal muscles. Then we can exhale and lift our upper body, and our lower back can't leave the ground, which can protect our waist and slowly return to the starting position after two seconds. This action can effectively exercise our abdomen.

Leg-lifting and abdomen-rolling: We can lie on our back on the floor, with our lower back close to the ground, put our hands on our heads and open our arms, lift our legs at 90 degrees to the upper body, bend our knees slightly and exhale, then contract our abdominal muscles, lift our upper body and keep our lower back on the ground. After two seconds, slowly return to the starting position, and pay attention to keep the jaw slightly retracted to the chest.

These two movements can replace sit-ups very well, and they are much safer than doing sit-ups and do much less harm to the body, so we should try not to do sit-ups at ordinary times.
