Myth 1

Some people don’t have time to go to the gym to exercise, so they choose to do some basic and effective simple exercises at home to exercise in the hope of losing weight. Sit-ups are a method chosen by many people. Many people think that as long as they persist in doing them, they can achieve their goal of losing weight.

Correction: Simply relying on sit-ups can only achieve local fitness effects, because sit-ups directly target the abdominal muscles. The effect of long-term exercise may strengthen the abdominal muscles, but other parts of the body, such as thighs, Buttocks etc. get less exercise. Therefore, the first thing to pay attention to is to effectively combine sit-ups with other fitness methods to achieve the perfect weight loss effect of the body.

Myth 2

Usually many people do sit-ups fast and hard, thinking that this is a sign of strengthening the abdominal muscles. In fact, doing so can easily strain the abdominal muscles.

Correction: The correct approach should be to cross your arms in front of your chest and control your abdomen to exert force when you sit up. Or make it more difficult and hold heavy objects with both hands to increase the exercise effect.

Myth 3

When many people do sit-ups midway, their bodies will unnaturally deviate in a certain direction. Doing so is wrong and will cause the abdominal muscles to be exercised unevenly, leading to an out-of-shape figure.

Correction: You should try to control the direction of getting up and lying down, do not deviate from the straight line, and slow down the speed to exercise the control ability of the abdominal muscles. It is best to feel the movement of the abdominal muscles when getting up.

Myth 4

Some people think that the slower the sit-ups are done, the more effective the exercise will be.

Correction: Slowing down the speed appropriately will help the exercise effect, but if the speed is too slow, the effect will be poor. The most correct speed should be to get up faster and go down slower. This will have the best effect. Sit-ups are our most common exercise method and a very effective exercise method. Since it is such a good exercise, I hope everyone can adopt the correct method.Posture, I hope you can improve yourself through the misunderstandings introduced above.
