Use your waste not your upper body try bending down and coming back up for about 5 mins then practice bending your waste at a fast paste and then try laying down and sitting up while using your hands then do a sit up by using your waste not upper body or neck I used to do that and I could only do like 19 sit ups a min before choking or something then I used my waste and practiced that half an hour later I did my gym test again and got 44 (ran out of time) and once you get used to doing push ups start doing them fast
Lmao, I’ve seen so many funny comments in 2 seconds… “I farted doing my first sit-up” “I did 10 sit-ups and I’m not getting leg block abs” “My feet fly when I do a sit-up”
Yes! I've walking and exercising at home and now I will add these 2 types of sit-ups to my daily routine. Since I started walking 2 weeks ago, I just feel so good. I've also been avoiding white bread, white rice & drinking less sugary beverages. Soon I'll avoid juice all together. For some reason, something just clicked after my birthday a few weeks back. All I want to do is eat healthier and exercise. I've been overweight for nearly 14 years now. Granted I had 4 children during those years, but I feel like I'm finally ready to be healtier & lose the extra weight.🤗💪🏽👏🏽❤
I have a test today and I can't do one and they have rules where your hands have to be by your side on the ground and they can't leave the ground, you can't use your elbows, there's a timer guy, and your heels can't leave the floor
3 weeks ago before school i could only do 5 sit up and now i can do 110 situps along with 180 push ups the gym teacher is super into working out and showed the whole class how to do exercises and how to properly stretch your muscles to make it easier most of the time its not your strength but your muscles that are extremely tight
First day I tried this, I dunno how many I did, but wasn't many. Second day I did 10. The next 16. The day after that I figured I'd just increase by one, so did 17. (Felt tired that day.) And today, I did 30. I do what I can till I no longer can do more without "cheating" (like jerk up, or lift my feet off the floor etc.) I'm surprised how quick I can do more.
Hi 6 years younger me. Thanks to your undeterred efforts, I can now manage to do 20, but my belly has become substantially larger than yours and it feels like it was a stupid mistake to do this much of situps. I won't recommend doing situps to anyone.
When you're doing sit ups, make sure you're doing them correctly. At first, you may need to go slow to develop the proper form. It is important to remember that when you're sitting up, you are using only your ab muscle to pull you up. Also, you should be sitting straight up. If you are hunched, it will hurt your lower back.
Exactly this! When doing crunches I always think I'm not doing it good engough but when doing sit ups it feels like I'm going well for some reason. But my back hurts actually when doing sit ups..
+José León Bullshit. Situps cause lower back problems because they work the hips flexors most of all. The core is not working the muscles of the abs, obliques, and lower back. It runs much deeper than that which neither crunches or situps do shit for.
I think it's normal if you're just starting some strength training, it means your core is not strong enough! Just do your crunches, increase the number of crunches you do everytime you workout. If you slowly work your way up you will be able to do sit ups soon. Also try other core exercises like planks or bicycle crunches, reverse crunches etc!
If you can't it's probably because you have been focusing solely on your upper abs, all those crunches, and neglecting your lower. What she is doing incorporates them both. Start doing more leg raises. Strengthen your lower abs.
How did it go? :) I've been doing this every day for a few days now, and first day I couldn't do many. Second 10, then 16, then 17, and today 30. I'm a bit O_o at that. I stop when I feel I can't get up without struggling or flailing, or somehow cheat my way up.
Thanks for this! I've been doing it very incorrectly, though somewhat effectively - but often resulting in lower back pain or neck pain. This is so smooth, and it has helped a lot. :)
Can one do upper ab exercises every day? Where can I get a weight training schedule at home for beginners? And I don't have any equipment. My major purpose is weight and belly loss
I’ve been doing these sit-ups for a month now. Haven’t seen much of a change in my belly fat. I leave my legs flat on the ground whilst I bring my back up and then back down. I do 120 of these sit-ups a day. 60 in the morning and 60 in the night. I’m a 26 year old female.
I lost weight a tiny bit. But I also did jogging on the spot and I changed my eating habits too. I was doing 60-120 sit-ups a day. Maybe it made a little difference.
I am using a mat and trying the 30 day ab challenge which starts with 15 situps... thought it would be easy - but these are the problems I am encountering 1- My tail bone HURTS (yes I happen to have a big but) 2- I CAN'T GET UP!!!! I'm so mad about this. My legs move up from the floor, I have to "PUSH" fast up to get up, I use my shoulders etc etc. I tried the method in this video - seems so easy... but honestly I can't seem to get up any advice? 3- I don't feel any pain in my abs - could be because I am doing them totally wrong because of #2 Advice?
+Mystearical 1) Try doing it on a soft surface like a bed 2) Your abs isn't strong enough yet, try other abs exercise (planking) first 3) Yes, you are using momentum of your body instead of contraction of your abs. As a result no work done by abs hence no pain in abs
I just wanna share my experience. I used to find it difficult to do a sit up. But then I used barbels to hold my feet in place and I can do sit ups easier. Maybe you can try using weights or barbels to help you do sit ups. I am not sure if this is correct, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Okay. Thanks. I learned the way with hands behind and supporting the head and this way. I've found I like no hands better, but I can't do them very quickly.
your body is a machine!! you have incredible control and such strong muscles. you have become the inspiration for my long-term goal - i AM working towards those abs!!
When I first started sit-up I needed to have a pillow behind my back so that I'd be at a 40° angle. One week later I only need a pillow under my head. This week I'm taking it off^^ I do 50 before bed, it's quite challenging at my level, but it feels great!
starlogic99 Start out with crunches and other simpler belly work outs. Some exercises you can't just jump into doing without building up the muscles first.
Wow, although I used to be able to this in the past, I can't do it now. Four kids and years of laziness have seen to that. Although I can't to a proper sit up as she shows it at this time, I know that I can get there. If I do my crunches, forward and reverse, then I know I will be able to this soon. I hope you will too!
no because if you keep your back in a "straight" or neutral spine the abdominals acts as stabilizers to the upper torso by forming a "ball" with the internal organs, it is when the spine is taken out of alignment, especially in a reclined position like the situp, that lower disks are compressed on one side and bulge on the other.
is this how guys should do them too? is there a difference at all? I always thought you're supposed to put your hands on your head have I been doing it wrong?
I don't think there is a difference, for both you using your abs to lift your self up. I think the one with your hands on your head is just to support your head, I don't think it really makes a difference.
Take Gray Cook's advice. A) never come up more than 45 degrees from the floor B) keep the back rigid as if a board goes from the waist to the head with a normal arch in the back. If doing a "roll up", do the safer crunch. Going from the ground all the way up works the hips at the top and this then creates potential for lower back problems.
I was doing so many things wrong - the chin to the chest, fingers braided behind my neck!!!, thrusting myself forward instead of going slow... Thank you for this video!
It is hard! No one said it would be easy, if it was, everyone would be in tip top shape! Just look back and see how far you have come today. You are closer to the 30 day challenge than you were yesterday!! That's all that matters, your own personal goal is to become stronger! Motivate your self to START! It's HABIT that keeps you going... Don't find reasons to STOP find reason to keep GOING!! Modify your work out if you have injuries, find a way, NEVER GIVE UP.
@@kimkai9005 I SWEAR I be looking up every thing of the workout just to not do it or forget about it 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️ But mostly not do it lazy gang bang 😝✌🏼
Guys sit ups, or crunches doesn't make you fit, it trains your ab muscles... To lose weight stop using sugar and count calories you eat and start moving more active than passive.
I do mine on a soft piece of clothing, cause my spine will hurt like heck otherwise. But not doing that many yet, so perhaps the tail bone part will hurt later on despite the cloth.
This exercise even you do it properly it isn't healthy for your hips and trust me it isn't the best exercise to do 😂 if you want to have abs or a strong core
Doing crunches and situps always hurt my back!!! I was told I wasn't holding my "form" right but I'm doing exactly as I'm told and they say I look fine and just blame it on me having a bad back or injury. I've never injured my back and I even went to the doctor for a check up just in case. No visible back problems. Doctor felt my spine and did an xray and still no visible problems. I don't know what to do. Is it possible that I'm just so weak that it's going to hurt my back continuously?
This lady had a very good app for 30 days abb challenge, was so helpful, I had it downloaded but got lost while reformating my mobile and could not get it anymore. Any one who has it I would highly appreciate it giving me the link
nice rounding of the lower back...just what everyone needs. No mentioning of bracing the lower back and spinal erectors. It would be safe to assume that many people attempting this challenge aren't going to have a strong core to begin with, so the chances of them injuring their lower back, especially using THIS method of situp, are going to be pretty high
SOULTION 1. Don't eat fat stuff drink water eat fruits and eat a cheeseburger per 2 days every day 2. Get a exercise machine work out with it everyday 3. Repeat 1 and 2 everyday TADA u got abs on your stomach
That's because in the regular one your legs are "shorter" so your center of mass is displaced towards your head and they give less counter-balance. In the full one, they are straight so your center of mass moves towards your feet and they give more counter-balance to your torso.
