Guide to Sit-Up Exercises
Sit-Ups
are a Form of Abdominal Exercise
"Sit-Ups"
is the term used mainly to describe a range of abdominal exercises. The
abdominal muscles, more commonly known as "Abs", are a group
of four muscles that shape the torso. Sit-Ups are particularly effective
for the upper and lower ab muscles.
Sit-Ups
Develop Upper and Lower Ab Muscles
Running
down the front of the body is the rectus abdominis, also known
as the upper and lower abs. The rectus abdominis is the muscle
closest to the surface and this is the muscle you can see when you develop
your abs. Toning the rectus abdominis gives you the "six pack"
look. Upper abs exercises include Sit-Ups, Curls, Knee Up Abdominal Crunches,
and Abdominal Pelvic Tilt. Lower ab exercises include Sit Ups and Lower
Ab Crunches.
Sit-Up
Exercises
Sit-Ups
are performed lying flat on the floor and raising your head upwards towards
your knees. It is important to keep your lower back on the floor while
performing these exercises to prevent muscle strain.
