Situps and Weight Loss
By Brian Gallichan
Situps are done for weight loss more than any other exercise. Situps exist in many different variations, each variation supposedly working a specific angle of the abdominal muscles.
Situps can be done with or without additional weight used for resistance. People often assume that if they are not losing weight, they need to do more situps.
In reality though, situps have very little to do with losing weight. This article was written to show that situps are valuable for building a strong midsection, but have very little to do with weight loss.
Situps are excellent exercises for building strong abdominal muscles. When a person does situps on a regular basis, his abs begin to form and become more chiseled.
The problem is that most people are too fat in the stomach to see their abs.
A person could have perfect washboard abs, yet nobody would ever see them if there was a layer of fat covering them. If a person was lean enough, he would not need to do any sit ups at all, and he would have nice looking abs.
Situps build muscle, and the more muscle a person has, the faster his metabolism is. The faster your metabolism, the more calories you will he burn while at rest.
Still though, the only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume, and the easiest way to do this is to reduce the amount of calories that you consume.
