I will reveal to you 3 keys to burning away the fat that has kept your abdominal muscles from revealing themselves. You may never need a personal trainer again.
Anyone can give you a list of exercises and tell you to do 3 sets of 10. I am going to arm you with the tools you need to take charge of your own success.
You can find a list of exercises anywhere. Do you really know whether they are effective?
I want you to be able to look at an exercise and know right away whether it is going to be worth your time.
Secret 1 - how do the abdominals work? Though the abdominal muscles, especially the rectus abdominus (six pack) flex the trunk, most people don't realize that there is a more important function.
The truth is that it is not that difficult to flex your trunk when you are standing or sitting. If you just relax, gravity will take over and flex your trunk for you. So really that is not a huge issue.
Slowing down motion is what the abdominal muscles do best. That's right, slowing down. This is known as an eccentric contraction - when the muscles contract to slow down a motion.
Most muscles thrive on being slightly stretched before contracting. Generally speaking, there is a quick deceleration of a motion before a strong and forceful movement is made. Just like you wind up before throwing a ball.
The second secret is to forget about isolating your abdominal muscles. Abdominal crunches are a good example.
An effective routine for 6 pack abs will consist of exercises that work all of the abdominal muscles together. You can do this with total body movements instead of isolation.
Some great total body exercises include push up variations, a combination of a squat with a cable row and a front squat. Each total body movements demands coordination from all of the abdominal muscles and in the long run makes everyday activities more efficient.
The third secret to a routine for 6 pack abs is to select exercises that require stabilization of the trunk through the abdominal muscles. All movements require a stable base to anchor on to.
For example, a stable core is needed in order to hit a baseball. Not so sure, try doing it with your feet off of the ground. You won't be able to throw nearly as far as you could with your feet on the ground and your trunk stable.
Creating a routine for 6 pack abs is simple if you take advantage of the 3 secrets I just revealed.
