The correct way to do sit-ups?

　　Sit-ups are the most common fitness exercise and have always been considered a classic exercise for training waist and abdominal muscles. But do you really understand sit-ups?

　　First let’s take a look! How to do sit-ups is the correct one!

　　　Sit-ups:

　　　Lying on the floor mat, flexing the knees to about 90 degrees, relaxing the back muscles and spine, putting the legs together and straightening the feet flat on the ground.

　　　　Then lift the body, but the hips cannot be off the ground, and the feet cannot be moved or lifted until the body is 90° to the bottom, and then repeat.

　　　　Precautions:

　　1. It is best not to fix the feet on the flat ground, otherwise the flexors of the thighs and hips will join the work. It reduces the workload of the abdominal muscles. I believe you have experienced this: it is much easier to do sit-ups when you have a companion pressing your hands on your ankles than when you are free.

　　　　　2. It is advisable to use a slow speed when performing, just like slow motion replay. When the abdominal muscles pull up the body up, you should exhale, so that all the muscles on the deeper abdomen participate in the work at the same time.

　　　　3. Sit-ups usually require holding your head with both hands, and the forehead touching the knee after getting up. When you use force, it is easy to strain the neck muscles and reduce the workload of the abdominal muscles. It is best to put your hands on the side of the body, ears or cross on the chest.

　　　　4. Bend the knees. If the straight legs sit-ups increase will increase the burden on the back and easily cause damage to the back.
