How to REALLY Work Your Abs - Turn Those Flabs in to Abs
Abdominal workouts can be made quick and effective by following these three guidelines:
1. Keep your Abs Tight Throughout the Repetitions
A common mistake is not flexing your abs while preforming crunches. This is called “activating” the muscle group you are working with, and should be applied to any weight workout. By flexing your abs, you are using them to move your body, instead of overcompensating with the upper body, or hips. If you can do more than 20 crunches, you are not properly activating your abs, or the exercise is too easy.
It is also a very good idea to actually plan the workout itself. There are many different muscle building techniques. Some of them may work for you, some may not. Ultimately, a lot of fads exist within the muscle building arena, enough to persuade a lot of people to waste hours of their life.
3. Use Stability Balls and Weights
Going back to treating your abs like any other muscle group, when training you probably use body weight in combination with resistance. Do the same thing for your abs. Some routines should incorporate weights. A good example of this, is holding a 5-10lb weight on your chest.
Combining Cardio, Interval, and Strength Training
According to pro bodybuilders, the best strategy to build muscle fast is to develop a balanced exercise program that works every part of your body regularly. You’ll want to combine several sessions of cardio per week with several sessions of whole-body strength training.
Also look into adding another type of exercise session called high intensity interval training, in which you work your body to its maximum potential for short “bursts”. Interval training speeds up the muscle building process without wearing you out or causing overuse injury.
The PROGRESSIVE is very simple. The overload must be carried out over a sustained period of time, but not staying at the same weight, flat lining your training. Each workout must push each muscle trained that little bit harder than the last time you performed it. This process makes your muscles want even more protection as you keep up the pressure on them.
This is the prime, simple way to help oneself. However it must not be done at the risk of injury. If you are not up to doing it harder, then don’t. Tiredness will only stop you for a short time, a few days, hours etc. You will out for a lot longer if you push it past your limits.
The progression part must always be done within the compass of your body’s abilities, start lower if you have to and then slowly progress. It is not about lifting heavy weights straight away, because everybody is different
