Baring ungkit merupakan latihan perut yang melatih otot rektus abdominis .[1] Hal ini memungkinkan pembentukan perut "six-pack" dan mengencangkan perut. Baring ungkit menggunakan berat badan orang yang berolahraga untuk mengencangkan otot dan direkomendasikan oleh beberapa ahli, meskipun hasil penelitian negatif , sebagai latihan berbiaya rendah yang dapat dilakukan di rumah.[2] Baring ungkit kurang efektif dibandingkan latihan lain seperti angkat tumpu tangan dan berisiko cedera punggung.

Dalam baring ungkit, punggung bawah tidak terangkat dari lantai
Baring ungkit yang baik dan disetujui dimulai dengan Anda berbaring, satu lutut ditekuk, dan tangan diposisikan di bawah punggung bawah sebagai penyangga. "Jangan mengempesi perut atau menekan punggung ke lantai", kata McGill. Angkat kepala dan bahu secara perlahan, tahan sebentar dan rileks kembali.[4]
Penelitian telah menunjukkan bahwa baring duduk dan baring ungkit adalah latihan membangun kekuatan yang biasa-biasa saja dan telah merugikan banyak orang. [5]
Dalam baring ungkit, tidak seperti baring duduk, punggung bawah tetap di lantai. Hal ini dikatakan dapat menghilangkan keterlibatan fleksor pinggul, dan menjadikan baring ungkit sebagai latihan isolasi yang efektif untuk otot perut.[6]

Sit-ups and crunches have been discouraged by educators within the industry for years, but there are no licensing or continuing-education requirements for teaching exercise, and if trainers don't seek out new information and techniques, it can take a while for good information and new ideas to get through to them.Parameter |url-status= yang tidak diketahui akan diabaikan (bantuan)
