Exercise, tight abs
When it comes to our bodies, we all have one place or another that we are a little unhappy with. You always say things like: I hate my thighs or my butt is too big. Of course, some of these things are said in jest, but there is still dissatisfaction hidden within. Despite everything, the way our abs look has become almost an obsession today. It seems everyone is on a quest for those elusive six-pack abs, but much like Ponce De Leon’s quest for the fountain of youth, finding it seems impossible. While there is no magic formula to achieve a flat, firm and toned stomach, there is something you can do to get the results you want with regular use
to achieve results. Achieving these results requires doing crunches daily, but remember that abdominal exercises alone will not burn the fat from your core. If you keep your calories in check and do your crunches every day, you’ll see that flat, chiseled, sexy stomach. Crunches are easy to do and are when they are
done correctly, very effective for toning the abs. Here’s a step-by-step
Get the best out of your crunches. Lie flat on your back on the floor
Get the best out of your crunches. Lie flat on your back on the floor with your legs bent at about a 90 degree angle with both your buttocks and feet flat on the floor. Place your hands behind your head, being careful not to interlace your fingers. You can form your hands into fists so you don’t pull yourself up behind your neck. The next thing you need to do is pick a spot on the ceiling directly above you. This should be done to ensure that you keep your neck straight during the
Do not bend during the movement. Don’t take your eyes off this spot! The most common mistake when performing a crunch is putting too much strain on your neck from pulling with your hands. The next step is to stabilize your lower back. This can be done by tightening the abdominal muscles. Slowly roll forward and up using only your abs. There should be no bend in the waist. Hold your
Abdominals tight throughout duration to ensure lower back
Abdominals tight throughout duration to ensure lower back stabilization. Focus on this spot on the ceiling to avoid neck pain as a result of stress. In the up position, your shoulder blades should only be between 4 and 8 inches off the floor. There’s no reason to go any further. Pause at this top position. This entire movement should be done slowly and take about 2 seconds. Hold the top position for 1-2 seconds to ensure a full contraction of the abdominal muscles. Slowly return to the
Return to the starting position and keep your abs tight. That’s all there is to it. The crunch isn’t a very large movement since you’re only working your abs. A full sit-up doesn’t work your abs any better than the crunch because once you’re past the crunch position, your abs are fully engaged and it’s your hip muscles that are straining to lift you, not your abs. Doing a hundred of these a day isn’t the key here. It’s recommended to do two to three sets of 15 to 20 of these at a slow and deliberate pace with good form for maximum benefit and minimal risk of injury.
