Is it easy to do sit ups with abdominal muscles

People with abdominal muscles usually feel more relaxed when doing sit ups, but the key influencing factors are the standardization of movements and core strength. Developed abdominal muscles may help reduce lumbar compensation, but improper movements may still lead to excessive lumbar pressure or poor results. As the main force group for sit ups, the strength of the abdominal muscles directly affects the completion of the movement. Individuals with well-developed rectus abdominis muscles can more efficiently complete trunk flexion and reduce neck strain; Strengthening the transverse abdominis muscle helps stabilize the pelvis and avoid excessive involvement of the hip flexors. However, it should be noted that even if the abdominal muscles are obvious, difficulty in standing up may still occur if the core stability is insufficient or the hip flexibility is poor. It is recommended to enhance the collaborative strength of deep core muscle groups through movements such as flat support and dead insect movements. Some fitness enthusiasts with extremely low body fat percentage may have clear abdominal muscle contours, but insufficient muscle endurance may lead to deformation in later movements. Those with a larger body weight base, even if they have strong abdominal muscle strength, may still have their range of motion affected by the accumulation of abdominal fat. In special circumstances such as postpartum rectus abdominis muscle separation, blindly practicing sit ups may worsen the degree of separation, and rehabilitation training such as abdominal breathing should be prioritized.

When doing sit ups, keep your feet flat and your hands loosely over your ears to avoid pulling your neck. The frequency of each group should be based on the ability to maintain standard movements, and variable abdominal pressure can be attempted to reduce lumbar pressure. Cooperate with aerobic exercise to reduce body fat percentage, and combine with diverse training such as Russian rotation to comprehensively strengthen the core muscle group. If lower back pain persists for more than 48 hours, it is necessary to pause training and consult a professional coach to adjust the plan.
