6 Pack Abs - Core Based Exercises

By Dan Solaris

The primary reason a lot of people decide to start working-our regularly is to lose weight and tighten their bellies. A less than solid stomach is a sign of lack of exercise and having a potbelly is one of the most potent confidence busters a person can get.

Only a small percentage of people who work-out regularly are happy with their figure however. Some actually give up exercising due to slow results. The most probable reason for this is they're going about their workouts the wrong way.

Since fat-loss and a lean, well-defined abdomen is the goal of most fitness buffs across the globe, more folks should be doing exercises that maximize movement of the midsection. The more muscles involved in movement, the faster the results and the easier it is to keep stay consistent with one's workout program.

The most effective way of developing the muscles of the midsection and maintaining 6 pack abs is to focus on building a stronger core. Doing core based exercises through Pilates or by using an exercise ball gets more muscles working and this means more calories burned in a shorter period.

An overwhelming number of fitness buffs go about core based exercises the wrong way by focusing just on the abdominal muscles. If the other core muscles (lower back and obliques) are left out, this can throw the body's balance out of whack and cause back sprain.

Doing exercises on an unstable surface will cause other muscles of the body to be included in the effort of to keep balanced. A well-developed core means the ability to do natural movements of the body with less effort. Swinging a bat, driving a golf ball or throwing a football will be much easier and way more fluid.

Because more muscle tissue are involved in movement in doing core exercises, doing these in tandem with aerobic and weight-training will produce significantly faster effects. Isolating body fat for caloric energy and maintaining a high level of metabolism will result in flatter stomach in less time.

Exercising to get the 6 pack abs that countless folks yearn for is not easy of course. Recognizing the power of core exercises and incorporating these into conventional resistance training will make workouts more productive and fun. - 17273
