Abdominal Weight Loss

Read: Healthy Weight News |
There are only four major abdominal muscles, but this muscle quartet is one of the most vital in your body.Those abs including the upper and lower abdominals and oblique muscles on either side of your abdomen-support the rest of your torso and lower back.
Abdominal muscles also help us move our legs and shift our hips. When you swing a bat, heft a box, kick a ball or shift your weight for more power, your abdominals are doing some of the work.
The weaker your abdominal muscles the more you lend yourself out to injuries.
Most of us are still trying to figure out how to get six-pack abs. The right abdominal exercises as well as a healthy diet can make a huge difference in your abs and help you get that washboard look.
An easy alternative method to develop 6 pack abs is described below in an excerpt from Paul O'Brien's "7seconds to a Flat Stomach".
Abdominal Weight Loss: Alternative Method 1
- "Stand or sit tall and straight.
- Breathe in and as you do so pull in your stomach.
- Keep this tense and held in place
- Contract the abs as hard as you can, you rib cage will dip down slightly and your pelvis may rotate upwards
- Breathe out making an “sssss” – this will cause inter-abdominal contraction
- Continue this for 7 seconds.
- Once finished keep the stomach in tight and repeat ten times.
- Do NOT relax the stomach until completely finished all 10 reps."
Abdominal Weight Loss: Alternative Method 2
- "Stand up straight with your feet wider then shoulder width.
- Exhale all the air form your lungs
- As you do so bend over as though trying to touch your toes
- Once you are as low as you can bend and have breathed out all the air you can, pull in your stomach as much as you can
- Hold this tension and slowly stand up
- You want to keep you stomach in as tight as you can
- Tense your stomach keeping it in tight.
- Hold for ten seconds.
- Slowly relax and capture your breathe
- Repeat 10 times.
That’s it. You just need those two exercises and they can be performed virtually anywhere. You can practice in the shower, in the car, in the office, anywhere." The only thing left to do for total abdominal weight loss is to get rid of the abdominal fat that may be hiding those abdominal muscles. How?
