Stop doing sit-ups:
If you have been doing traditional sit-ups as fast as possible, let's face it, it doesn't work at all because it strengthens the wrong abdominal muscles. Fortunately, a fitness scientist from the San Diego State University in the United States has tested the effectiveness of the thirteen most popular abdominal exercises and finally summarized the four most effective "ab fat killers". To achieve the best results, these four exercises should be done in three sets every day, and each set should last for fifteen minutes.
Bicycle exercise:
Just lie on the floor and pretend to pedal an imaginary bicycle. The correct movement is to press the lower back tightly against the floor, with your hands behind your head. Lift your knees to a forty-five degree angle, and pedal with your feet, touching your left ankle to your right knee, then use your right ankle to touch your left knee.
Knee lift exercise:
Find a sturdy chair, sit on the edge of the chair with your knees bent, and your feet flat on the ground. Tighten your abdomen, lean your body slightly backward, and lift your feet a few centimeters off the ground. Keep a steady movement, pulling your knees towards your chest while bending forward. Then return your feet to the original position and repeat continuously.
Arm sit-up: Lie down, bend your knees, keep your feet together and hook them under the bedhead. Use a towel to wrap around the back of your neck, with each hand holding one end. Contract your abdomen, lift your shoulders, slowly roll up your back, and then slowly recline until you almost touch the floor, then continue to get up and repeat continuously. If you find it too difficult, just lift your upper body off the floor.
Ball lifting exercise:
Lie on your back, hold a tennis ball in your hand, raise your hands toward the ceiling, stretch your legs straight and together, and hook your feet upward. Tighten your abdominal and buttock muscles, and lift your shoulders and head a few centimeters off the ground. Make sure the ball is always pointing upward toward the roof, not forward.
Your goal is to sweat. The purpose of all aerobic exercises is to make you sweat. If you don't sweat, it means you're not working hard enough. The more accurate your posture is during exercise, the faster you will sweat. This might make you as red as a tomato, but it is absolutely beneficial to your health, so keep trying.
