BENEFITS OF SIT UPS

 Sit ups are like crunches, but the two actually have some differences. While both exercises start out by lying flat on your back, a sit up requires you to lift your entire torso up into a semi-seated position, whereas a crunch simply means lifting just your shoulders and upper back off the ground.

The term sit-up is often used interchangeably with the crunch, but in fact, the two exercises are a bit different. They start in the same position, lying on your back, but sit-ups require that you lift your entire torso whereas crunches only require you to lift your shoulders and upper back in a motion that’s much quicker and more repetitive.

The crunch is more like a variation of the sit-up, and thus we’ll go itno more detail about how to do crunches later in the article. Both sit ups and crunches inherently contain a lot of health benefits, but sit ups are generally done slower and thus create benefits related to endurance, whereas crunches are good for improving strength.

Sit ups are quite versatile as well.For those hoping to reap specific health benefits, depending on which variation of sit-up you do, you can target different areas of your body.

It’s a good idea to talk to your doctor before starting any exercise routine, and the sit-up is not exempt from this rule. Its incredible benefits don’t’ come without a certain amount of risk – but as long as you don’t have any pre-existing medical conditions, and you learn how to do the exercise properly, you’ll be able to do them without injury.

Sit-Ups the Right Way

When most people think about working their abdominal muscles, they're primarily concerned with the rectus abdominus. That's the long sheath of muscle that, under the perfect conditions of low body fat, high conditioning and the right genetics, can be transformed into the proverbial six-pack abs.

Push-ups and sit-ups have been the mainstay of home calisthenics routine for decades and with good reason. Between the two exercises, your core, your upper body and your back are strengthened. And of course there's the great advantage of having a well-rounded workout you can do anytime, anywhere — great for travel or when you don't have access to a gym. 포커게임

Karate 홀덤

 Karate, (Japanese: “empty hand”) unarmed martial-arts discipline employing kicking, striking, and defensive blocking with arms and legs. Emphasis is on concentrating as much of the body’s power as possible at the point and instant of impact. Striking surfaces include the hands (particularly the knuckles and the outer edge), ball of the foot, heel, forearm, knee, and elbow. All are toughened by practice blows against padded surfaces or wood. Pine boards up to several inches in thickness can be broken by the bare hand or foot of an expert. Timing, tactics, and spirit, however, are each considered at least as important as physical toughening. 홀덤사이트추천

Gichin Funakoshi, founder of Shotokan karate, is generally credited with having introduced and popularized karate on the main islands of Japan. In addition many Okinawans were actively teaching, and are thus also responsible for the development of karate on the main islands

The object of Karate is to defeat your opponent by utilising punches, kicks and throws to score points. At the end of a Karate kumite, the competitor with the most points is declared the winner (or before the end if they reach and eight point lead over their opponent). As well as being a combative physical activity, Karate is highly skilled and tactical, and all competitors are required to have a high level of skill, experience, speed and dexterity to be successful in Karate competition.

Players & Equipment

Competitors are placed into categories according to their weight and maybe their age in the case of junior competitions. All competitors in Karate kumite competitions are required to wear a traditional Karate suit known as a gi and this should be plain and without stripes or embroidery. Instead of wearing the belt colour that signifies their rank, one contestant wears a red belt and the other a blue belt to help distinguish them. Other prescribed pieces of equipment are:

 * A gum shield

 * Body protection (and extra chest protection for females)

 * Shin pads

 * Foot protectors

Groin guards can be worn but are not mandatory.

Scoring in Karate competitions is relatively simple. Scoring is limited to the following areas of the opponent's body: Head, Face, Neck, Chest, Abdomen, Side and Back 홀덤
