What should I do if I can’t do sit-ups? Experts say…

Precautions

1. Gradually increase the number of sit-ups

For a participant who has just started to train abdominal muscles with sit-ups, the principle is to do no more than 10 sit-ups each time (train your abdominal muscle strength first). After completing each sit-up, you should stand up or lie down to rest and allow your abdominal muscles to relax for more than 10 minutes.

The main training goal is the endurance of the abdominal muscles. Therefore, only by slowly performing sit-ups can the endurance of the abdominal muscles be effectively trained.
