Trying To Look For A Good Lower Abs Workout
I never thought I would see the day when I would say I enjoy my six pack abs workout. Well, the day has arrived. If you had known me a few years ago, you would understand why I feel the way I do. I used to be a total slob. I hated every exercise, especially those pertaining to the abdomen.
Your abdomen is the very center of your being and that is why a good ab workout is essential to keep it healthy. Your abdomen (along with your back) muscles are the axle point of all your other muscles. If these are weak, then your other muscles will be powerless. A building is only as stable as its most fragile brick. Think of body in this way. Do you want a weak building in which to live?
Apparently, the abdomen muscles are in triplicate. This means there are three parts. The first he explained are the Rectus Abdominis. When I tried to pronounce these words, I got completely tongue tied. Thankfully his description was easier. These are the ab muscles most people treasure. People work hard to display them to the world.
Transversus Abdominis were the next difficult words. Goodness me! I hope I never have to spell it. My doctor said that very few people know this part of the abdomen exists! I wondered why. He said it is a part of the abdomen that cannot easily be seen. So, most also do not know this helps you to shoot out air forcefully from your lungs. I never realized this.
Rectus Abdominis. This is the name of the actual muscles we call “abs”. Their main capacity is to “flex” you forward from your waistline. We train these like crazy trying to obtain that glorious “six pack”. I have a friend who says he is working on a “keg.”
Whether we know it or not, we each day must use our abdomen muscles. Without them it would be very (if not totally) difficult to move. When we bend over, we use our abdomen. When we turn our torso, we use these muscles. When we reach, these fibers are stretched. The simple movement of sitting up requires the use of our ab muscles.
I have four children. I never want to be a burden to any of them. I know having those stomach muscles are quite endearing to many people. But I am not going to show off my middle to anyone. I simply want to be able to have a long, healthy life. I now know strengthening my core will help this to happen.
My doctor gave me an exercise regimen regarding lower ab workouts. He recommended that I begin at a pace comfortable to me with the ab workout and then move ahead a little each day.
