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.
Ab machines and ab exercises promise you rock hard abs in 8-12 repetitions. Other variations of the same products claim to help you flatten your tummy in no time at all. But the fact is, they're all empty promises because spot reduction 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.
To sculpt and reveal those six packs, you need to get your whole body moving and do cardio activities, which will jumpstart your metabolism into burning fat continuously, allowing you to lose the fat cover around your ab muscles.
The more large muscles you work out, the more energy is used up to fuel muscle activity. Activities like brisk walking (especially on an incline), cycling, running, lunges and squats work the large muscles so they will help you burn fat.
Another way we can increase our metabolism is through interval training. When we do short intense bursts of activity, our muscles react by working so hard that there is a build up carbon dioxide and lactic acid in the muscles. As a result, the body must work extra hard at clearing away and getting oxygen to the muscles. The muscles react by increasing in size and also consuming more energy by working hard to adapt to the physical activity.
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.
Exercises that specifically train our abs will not work. Instead, focus on kick starting your metabolism through multi-joint exercises and interval training. By training your metabolism, you train your body to become a fat burning machine that will give your ripped hard abs. - 17269
