50 Sit Ups Home Ab Workout - Calisthenics for beginners - NO EQUIPMENT

Do this home ab workout for stronger, more defined abs - no equipment needed!
This is a daily abs workout for beginners who want to build basic core strength. It’s a routine I used to do every night when I first started calisthenics, so I know from experience that it improves the strength and appearance of abs (alongside a good diet, of course).
If you’re a complete beginner and this abs workout is too challenging for you right now, don’t worry - you might find this one a little easier:

Now, if you’re one of my subscribers you’re probably thinking ‘Didn’t you make a video 3 months ago saying you shouldn't do 100 push ups a day? So why is it ok to do 50 sit ups a day?’
The reason why I believe it’s ok to do 50 sit ups a day is because the routine is relatively low intensity. So you can understand what I mean, let’s compare two calisthenics exercises on the extreme ends of the intensity spectrum: the planche and sit ups.
The planche is an extremely high-intensity calisthenics skill. It places your muscles, joints and tendons under extreme tension. Due to the intense demands it places on your body, you need adequate time to recover (e.g. 2-4 days). Doing it daily is not a good idea because putting your body under extreme tension every day, without giving it time to properly recover, increases the risk of injury.
However, the sit up is a relatively low-intensity exercise that doesn’t place your body under loads of tension. Sure, for calisthenics beginners it’s challenging to do 50 sit ups, but most bodies are capable of handling this level of effort safely.
The most important thing to remember when doing this workout - or any other ab workout at home - is to do it with proper form. Don’t arch your back your crank your neck forward when doing the sit ups. Keep a straight back and a straight neck to make sure your body is aligned.
Now, let’s address something important.
There was a brief period on KZbin when a bunch of people criticised sit ups for being a ‘dangerous exercise’ because they’re ‘bad for your spine’. I don’t believe this to be true at all. In fact, in my personal experience I’d say sit ups are one of the safest calisthenics exercises for beginners when done with correct form. I’ve never been injured doing sit ups and I’ve been doing them for at least 14 years. No one that I know or taught has ever been injured by sit ups. So don’t let these videos scare you. When performed properly, sit ups are a safe and effective exercise for building the basic strength needed to progress onto harder calisthenics skills.
Obviously, though, this isn’t medical advice and you should get advice from a health professioal before starting any exercise routine - especially if you have a previous history of back issues or health issues in general.
(I have to say that to protect myself legally LOL).
In general, it’s very safe and very fun to do calisthenics at home. So train hard, eat well, and keep stay consistent! Your hard work will pay off.
Good luck and happy training.

Proof that you can make gym gains at any point without equipment - this is a sick workout for me to follow along to when I am in small breaks between streams and editing 🤘🏾

Can we do stretching daily .. they say stretching helps in cooling down muscles , is it good if we do stretching daily after workout or before bed ??? 😒

[@AshtonFitness]

Yeah I don't see anything wrong with stretching every day. I've heard some people recommend it

Brother i have a question, i was Watching your video about how to l sit to handstand. You 4th tip was to use parralettes because the transition from l sit handstand easier, because there is more room for your feet to pass between your arms. Im using the premiumn mini parralettes from gornation (10cm height) i still cant pass between my arms even when im in a tuck position how?, is my hip flexor to weak, are my glutes to tight am i doing something wrong? I also unshrug my shoulders but still i cant pass

[@AshtonFitness]

It could be loads of things, it's difficult to tell online through a description. But if someone told me this and I were to guess what the 'issue' was, I'd say: (1) They might need to work on their bottom half compression (i.e. strengthen the hip flexors so they can tuck their knees closer to their chest and keep them there throughout the transition) (2) Don't dip the upper body too low when transitioning. It's easy to lose the strength in the shoulders and let the upper body sink towards the ground. The goal is to keep the arms 90° when transitioning Hope that helps

@@AshtonFitness Thankyou so much!! I will work on this🙏🏾

What's your opinion on situps vs crunches? is one better than the other or are they good for different things?

[@AshtonFitness]

I think people use the words "sit up" and "crunches" interchangeably to mean the same thing. That's what I've observed over the years, at least. But if there is any difference, I assume crunches are a bit more hunched over? Is that correct? If 'yes', then I'd favour sit ups with a straighter back to keep my back, spine and neck in alignment. That reduces the chance of injury. And once you get good at sit ups, you can move on to harder ab exercises to challenge them more

Is it best to do abs work out with dumbells or dont use dumbells??

[@AshtonFitness]

Beginners generally don't need to do abs with added weight. But if you're more advanced, you could do abs with added weight to increase the strength and size of your abs
