Abdominal
Exercise & Abdominal Muscles
By David Grisaffi, Corrective Exercise Kinesiologist
What's the best way to build abdominal
muscles?
Answer: This is by far the most frequently
asked question I get. Abdominal
muscles are the most wanted muscles on any male or female
physique.
Usually, abdominal questions are followed by a comment such
as, "I do 100 sit-ups a day and I'm not seeing any
results." This book will outline the information you
need to improve your body in this region. Throughout the
book I often will refer to the abdominal region as the core.
The core musculature is made up of many different muscles
and groups. To target the entire core we must always address
each of these muscle groups and prescribe exercises, which
correspond to improving not only aesthetics but also their
function.
Exercise is an extremely important, however not the only
factor in defining the midsection. Everyone has abdominal
muscles, however, most of the population never sees them
due to the "spill over tumor" hanging around their
midsection. The trick or solution to viewing their abdominal
region is simply a good core-conditioning program coupled
with a fat loss nutrition program. If you want to see the
core region and the six-pack, the fat has got to go!
By making a couple of adjustments to your current diet
and cutting calories, in addition to a core based exercise
program, you can have those prized abs you want within a
couple of weeks or months, not years as you might have expected. |
