Physical trainers contend without fat reduction, it does
not matter how many sit-ups a person does to flatten their
belly --- because it will not happen. As a result, a healthy
diet coupled with a regimented fitness program is the artillery
to weight loss.
But after, a few pounds of shed, the following exercises
will aid in adding definition to the abdominal muscles
and refine certain areas.
Abdominal Rotation
Laying down with the backside planted on the floor. Gently,
bend knees while pulling thighs toward the abdomen. Contract
stomach muscles inward while lifting thighs in a bent
position 20 degrees away from the stomach. Keep lower
back planted while simultaneously rotating thighs and
legs clockwise in the rotation shape of a circle. Try
to keep knees close to each other. (Remember to breathe)
Pause between the movement and perform the same move counterclockwise.
Repeat six to eight more times.
The Lazy Crunch
Find a sturdy chair and sit in an erect position with
feet planted flat on the ground. While exhaling, contract
the navel by sucking it in toward the spine. Next, focus
on contracting the abdomen as much as possible while releasing
all air out of the lungs. Maintain the position for up
to four seconds. Next, reverse the exercise by inhaling
but with the stomach extended in a fully rounded position.
Slowly, repeat the breathing pattern of inhaling for at
least one minute.
The Bare Basic Crunch
Find an open space on the floor and lay flat on the backside.
Bend knees and plant feet flat on the ground. To slightly
support the head, place hands behind the head. Contracting
the abdominal muscles, elevate shoulders a less than an
inch from the floor. Pause between each lift and repeat
10 to 12 times for a completion of one set.
