In so many abdominal muscle training plans, you may be most impressed by sit-ups, but if you want to practice abdominal muscles, sit-ups are definitely not the best action, because if you do it badly or incorrectly, it will bring other injuries to your body.

1, neck pain

Many friends do sit-ups, and they have no feeling in their stomachs, but their necks hurt. Because when we do sit-ups, we habitually hold our heads in our hands. Because the abdominal muscles have no strength, we forcibly pull our heads up with our hands, which puts too much pressure on the cervical spine, so we will feel pain in our neck. If you do this for a long time, it is easy to cause cervical spondylosis.

2, low back pain

Sit-ups hurt your waist, which is what we often say. During sit-ups, the abdominal muscles contract centripetally, while the erector spinae of the back contracts centrifugally as an antagonistic muscle group, so the sit-ups themselves will cause waist pain due to the stimulation to the back.

In addition, the abdominal muscles are physiologically responsible for curling the trunk, and when many people do this action, their backs are stiff, straight up and down, and the abdominal muscles are not curled, which will not only make you unable to practice your abdomen, but also make your back ache.

Step 3 fix your feet

When I was a child, we did sit-ups, and another classmate held down your leg and you sat on it. Now sit-ups will also fix your legs. In fact, this will greatly reduce your exercise effect, make your more developed leg muscles exert more force, and your abdomen will exert less force.

Therefore, it is more difficult to do a correct sit-up. Make sure your knees are bent, your legs are not fixed and your hands are not on your head. In the process of doing it, keep the abdominal muscles curled and exert yourself. Therefore, to practice abdominal muscles, it is recommended to only do abdominal curl, that is, half-way sit-ups, with hands rarely placed on the head, but beside the ears or other positions.

Explain the action of sit-ups:

Put your hands on your head when you do the action. First of all, you can contract your abdominal muscles, lift your upper body and touch your knees with your elbows. This is a complete action. The practice of sit-ups mainly increases the number by improving the strength and regularity of abdominal muscles.

Auxiliary action exercises:

Slowly increase the number of sit-ups by hanging legs at both ends, lifting legs or improving abdominal muscle strength in situ.
