What to do if you can’t train your abdominal muscles

Many people would say that having nice abdominal muscles means a person is very attractive. However, many people fail to develop good-looking abdominal muscles when doing abdominal muscle exercises because they do not master the right methods. So, what should you do if you can't develop abdominal muscles? How can you develop abdominal muscles? Let's take a look at the simple introduction of this article. I hope this article can be of some help to you.

The following methods can train the entire core muscles.

1. Front plank: Push-up position, support your arms on the ground, bend your elbows, put your weight on your forearms, and keep your body in a straight line from shoulders to ankles. Support your core muscles, tighten your abdominal muscles, and maintain the position for 30 seconds, or extend it appropriately, while taking a deep breath (you can slowly accumulate the time to 30 seconds, but you can continue to do it after taking a 5-second break in the middle)

2. Side plank: Support yourself with one hand and place the other hand on your waist. Tighten your core muscles, contract your abdominal muscles, lift your hips, and keep your body in a straight line. Take deep breaths during the movement. Keep the duration the same as above, alternating between both hands.

3. Sit-ups: They can effectively exercise your abdominal muscles, but constantly bending your lower back can cause spinal problems if you do them too much, so you can do them in moderation. The best exercise is sit-ups, which is to do not lie down completely, but support yourself with your abdominal strength, and then stand up. Do 20 to 30 reps in a group, rest for 40 seconds, and then continue. Try to do more than 3 groups. Generally, stop when you feel your abdominal muscles are too tight and you feel very tired. At the beginning, you can use the power of your hands.

There is also the bodyweight squat: stand up straight, feet shoulder-width apart, arms extended forward at shoulder height, core muscles tight, lower back naturally arched forward, body lowered as much as possible, buttocks back, knees bent, arms kept in the same position from beginning to end, upper thighs parallel to the ground, or lower, the center of gravity of the entire movement is on the heels rather than the toes, and the body is as straight as possible. Pause for 1, then slowly stand up and return to the starting position. Repeat this 5 to 8 times in a set, rest for 30 seconds, and do at least 4 sets.

The above is an introduction to why you can’t develop abdominal muscles. If you can't develop good-looking abdominal muscles, it may be related to improper movements. Therefore, when practicing, you should pay attention to mastering some key points of the movements so that you can develop good-looking abdominal muscles. When training your abdominal muscles, you should control your diet, keep it light and reasonable, avoid eating high-calorie foods, etc.
