So how to exercise abdominal muscles? In life, many men like to go to the gym to exercise, and the effect is also good. But running is also a good exercise method in life. So can running exercise developed abdominal muscles?

Running is a full-body exercise! It is almost impossible to train your abdominal muscles.

Beautiful abdominal muscles depend on three factors

Diet: You may have the most spectacular abs in the world, but if they are covered in fat, no one will know. Remember, without food you won't grow muscle, but too much food will add fat. If you have worked hard and consistently on your abs for over a year and still can’t see them. Then you should review your diet.

Frequency: I train abs every other day. Even though most people only train three times a week.

Quantity: Although many people do hundreds of sit-ups at a time, I suggest that you choose 2 to 4 exercises that are most effective for you and do only three sets of 30 to 50 times each, and each set should reach complete exhaustion. My ab workouts never last longer than 15 minutes.

Weight: The heavier the weight you use when training your abdominal muscles, the more likely you are to perform irregular movements and thicken your waist. The idea that you can burn more fat by gaining more weight is wrong. Therefore, it is recommended that you use tension and control instead of weight, and use your mind to apply external weight to tighten and stimulate your abdominal muscles.

Continuous tension: When training your abdominal muscles, you should keep them tense throughout the entire set, and don't let them relax, either at the beginning or at the end of the movement. Always go to complete exhaustion. Do each set to complete exhaustion. Don't count the reps. Continue until you can no longer contract your abdominal muscles. You don't have to stretch your abdominal muscles completely. Don't arch your back but keep your chest slightly tucked in. In order to focus the tension on the abdomen. The straighter your upper body is stretched, the more your hips are involved, which not only reduces the stress on your abdominal muscles but also increases the risk of lower back strain.

Although running is a very good fitness exercise, and regular running will have some effect on the abdominal muscles, but in general, whether you can train good abdominal muscles still depends on the above factors. So if you want to train your abdominal muscles, you still need to persist in effective exercise. I hope that if you persist in exercising, you will definitely have well-developed abdominal muscles.
