Shilpa Shetty’s age-defying body is due to her strict exercise regime. The actor is going to be 50 this year, she shared a glimpse of her workout routine for her ripped abs. If you are feeling particularly fit today, take on Shilpa Shetty’s ‘impossible sit-up’ challenge to test your core strength.
On Monday the actor shared a video on Instagram of her abs workout and wrote in her caption, “ABS-olutely worth it! Challenge thrown to you. PS: Attempt only if you have a strong core.”
Shilpa is right to warn her followers, as starting slow is the best policy if you are not regular with sit-ups. To be safe, begin with a manageable number of sit-ups and gradually increase the number as you build strength and endurance before you try Shilpa’s ‘impossible sit-up’.
While trying this ‘impossible sit-up’ challenge it is important for you to sit-up with your heel completely planted on the ground, which demands exceptional core strength, flexibility, and control. Your heel must remain in contact with the ground throughout the entire movement. You must lift your torso from lying to sitting, with your back straight, hands raised on the side and core engaged. The sit-up must be performed with control, avoiding any jerky or bouncy movements.
However before attempting this challenge, don’t forget to warm up your body with light cardio and stretching exercises. If you experience any discomfort, pain, or difficulty breathing, stop immediately.
Sit-ups are a classic exercise that target the abdominal muscles, providing numerous benefits for your core and overall fitness. A simple home abs workout can not only help you strengthen your core but also improve your posture and balance.
