Overview

Sit-ups are a classic abdominal exercise that primarily targets the rectus abdominis, which is commonly referred to as the "six-pack" muscles. This exercise primarily targets the rectus abdominis muscles, which run vertically along the front of your abdomen. It also engages the hip flexors and the muscles in your lower back. The number of sit-ups you should do and the amount of time it should be done will depend on your fitness level and goals. Beginners may start with a few sets of 10-15 reps, while more experienced individuals may aim for 3-4 sets of 20-30 reps. It's important to maintain proper form and not strain your neck during the exercise. Incorporate sit-ups into your abdominal workout routine for a challenging and effective exercise that can help improve core strength and tone your abs..
