仰臥起坐？NO!NO!NO!

Angling to get the abs of a Victoria's Secret model? One personal trainer insists that sticking to sit-ups won't get you there.

想要通過仰臥起坐塑造維多利亞的秘密一般的超模馬甲線?某私人教練稱，堅持仰臥起坐并無法收獲這一效果。

Nike Master Trainer Joslyn Thompson Rule told Get the Gloss that crunches and sit-ups are not the way to tone your tummy, and even buckling down and doing up to 500 a day is unlikely to get you closer to your six-pack goals.

耐克權(quán)威教練-喬斯林湯普森在GET THE GLOSS中表示，仰臥起坐并不能收肚子，即便勤加訓練，每日做上500個仰臥起坐，也不可能讓你在向往六塊腹肌的目標上有所前進。

'Just doing sit-ups alone won’t get you rock hard abs because you’re only working to strengthen one singular area, which is like trying to build the outer layers of a house with no foundations underneath,' she explained.

喬斯林解釋道：“單單仰臥起步無法讓你擁有健實馬甲線，因為你只不過在鍛煉身體的一處地方而已。這就好比在建房之時，沒打好地基便開始修建外墻一樣。”

So what exactly do sit-ups do? Joslyn said they work your 'external muscles', but don't actually build up the core or the obliques that give you that washboard look.

那么，仰臥起坐究竟有何之用?喬斯林表示，仰臥起坐只能運動你的外部肌肉，然而無法真正塑造核心肌肉，或是側(cè)腹肌肉，而賦予你結(jié)實的身板。

That means that unless you're doing sit-ups as part of a greater work-out routine - like with cardio and planks - you shouldn't expect to see any visible results when looking at your tummy in the mirror.

那意味著，除非你把仰臥起坐作為一項更艱巨重大流程的一部分，就如有氧運動和伏地靜止，否則就別妄想在鏡前審視腹部之時，會發(fā)現(xiàn)有所見效。

Joslyn recommended trying planks, side planks, and hollow holds, which she likens to a 'reverse plank on the floor'.

喬斯林推薦大家嘗試伏地靜止，側(cè)邊伏地靜止，還有拱背動作，對此，她將其形容為“地面上伏地靜止的相反動作。

Those exercises strengthen the 'deep inner core muscles' and don't harm your back, she said - so they're a win-win.

她稱，這些鍛煉都能增強“深入內(nèi)部的核心肌肉”，而且還不會傷及背部，因此實屬雙贏的鍛煉方法。
