How many sit-ups per day are needed to lose belly fat?
Disease description:
I exercise daily, but I still have a lot of excess fat around my abdomen. When I sit down, the fat on my belly is especially noticeable. I’d like to know how many sit-ups I should do each day to reduce belly fat.
Hello,
The abdomen is the area most prone to fat accumulation. Prolonged sitting and lack of physical activity after meals can lead to abdominal obesity—making clothing fit poorly, preventing a slender figure, and significantly affecting one’s overall appearance. Among common physical exercises, sit-ups are widely practiced. However, sit-ups are an anaerobic exercise that primarily strengthens abdominal muscles and has minimal effect on fat reduction. For effective weight loss, aerobic activities such as running or swimming are recommended. Additionally, exercises like planks and side-lying torso twists can help target the abdominal area. Practicing diaphragmatic (abdominal) breathing regularly may also support abdominal fat reduction.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
