I am a regular visitor at the local gymnasium and work extremely hard to remain healthy
as well as keeping my important areas tightly toned but its not always about the exercises that makes the difference. Your overall diet has a enormous effect on how well your workout goes.
If you combine a nutritious diet and increase your heart rate on a regular basis then you will have increased results. Alot of individuals eat antioxidants in order to increase energy levels which generally increases metabolism and helps you burn flab faster.
If you do sit ups with weights behind the head then this would tone your abs and is very effective if done each day. You must never over do the exercise or you may damage parts of the muscle area which would give you pain.
Once you have done this process until the point of fatigue, give your stomach a rest for 24 hours before doing this again. The muscles will rest and rebuild and is why they will grow after strain or load put on them.
Your mid section muscles are there to help you support yourself when you walk, bend or sit up and if these are weak then the back or leg muscles will have to carry the load. This makes you vunerable to back pain and even leg pain due to stress.
The best advice for having better results with the same exercise is not to do more but to do sit ups slowly and more control. This provides prolonged strain without over doing the actual movement itself.
The large exercise ball is a popular tool in the ab workout as this provides more stability and core control. Doing your ab workout on the ball will be much more effective and comfortable than been on the floor.
Set yourself a daily routine and try to stick to it with all your might. If you are dedicated to this and remain consistent then you will get the results you deserve. Your friends and family will soon realise the efforts you have put in and you will be praised.
