Bucks County Professionals on Lower Ab Workouts - Why This May Be Setting You Up For Failure
People concentrate their ab workout exercises by anatomy. Exercises are differentiated by the area that needs the most work and in most cases, it's our stomach. Instead of being so specific and focusing just on the stomach, we should focus on our overall metabolism and do activities like multi-joint activities and interval training. In doing so, our body will streamline itself to get fit and show those rock hard abs.
A lot of ab machines and exercises are out there claiming they can solve your flab problem. However, because they work solely the ab area, you don't see any visible difference after using their machines and workouts. In fact, they just don't work because spot reduction really doesn't work.
Focusing your training just in the ab area will not sculpt and give you six packs. Sit-ups, crunches and lower ab exercises can strengthen and tone but they will not sculpt. The fact is, you likely won't see any visible changes.
If you really want to train your abs, work on your whole body. This can be done by doing multi joint exercise that help kick start your metabolism. By increasing your metabolism, you help your body use more calories and burn more fat.
Some exercises you can do include jogging, squats, lunges, brisk walking, push-ups and even dancing. Doing these specifically trains the large muscles, which uses up more energy. The more trained these large muscles become, the more efficient they are at burning fat.
Doing short, quick bursts of intense training like a circuit program of jumping jacks-brisk walking-sprinting-walking makes our muscles work extremely hard. They start building up waste carbon dioxide and lactic acid, which the body must now get rid of.
The overall result is that the muscles work so hard during the exercise activity that the muscle must then be repaired and replenished when muscles are recovering. This replenishment of the muscles increases the body's metabolism by forcing the body to burn fat to help the muscles repair and replenish.
When all is said and done, do we keep doing lower ab workouts and should we really be targeting something so specific? Current research says "no" and as far as sculpting six pack abs go, it definitely makes sense to lose the fat and the flab in order to allow the six packs to show through! - 17273
