What are some abdominal muscle exercises for men?

For men, having a good body of muscles is very sexy. Of course, regular exercise, especially abdominal muscle training, is also good for our health. In life, we may see more men with big bellies, so for the sake of everyone's health, they should exercise regularly to make their abdominal muscles perfect. Today I will answer the question my friend gave me in detail about several good ways to exercise my abdominal muscles.

First of all, we need to know what kind of abdominal muscles are perfect abdominal muscles. Perfect abdominal muscles must not only have obvious six-pack lines, but also have a good shape of the external oblique muscles, and no fat on both sides of the waist. Traditional sit-ups cannot accomplish this task, so how should we practice? Brother, as long as you have perseverance and persistence, and train according to scientific methods, you will definitely succeed.

Most people have a misunderstanding that the heavier the weight, the better the training effect. This may be true for other muscles, but not for the abdominal muscles. The purpose of exercising the abdominal muscles is not to gain absolute strength, but to increase their endurance, so the training method should be based on persistence and endurance.

Before you start exercising, you should also be clear that if your abdominal muscles are not obvious, it is not necessarily because your muscles are not well trained. The culprit is the thick layer of fat on your belly. So while exercising our muscles, we must also pay attention to burning excess fat through exercise so that your strong abdominal muscles can be revealed. OK, knowing this, the next step is to start training. Here are some exercises to share with you:

1. Cross-tighten your abdomen

This movement is also called aerial bicycle pedaling. Lie flat on the ground with your arms bent and your hands placed on your ears. Bend your left leg and do the bicycle pedaling movement. At the same time, contract your abdomen and lift your upper body so that your right elbow touches your left knee. Pause for a moment when it is in place, then slowly put it down. Follow this method for your right leg and left elbow. The benefit of this movement is that it can fully exercise the muscles in the abdomen. Do three sets a day, 12-14 reps in each set.

2. Leg lift and abdominal contraction

This movement mainly exercises the rectus abdominis, which is a muscle that most friends who do sit-ups ignore. Lie flat on the mat, place your hands naturally on both sides of your body, keep your legs together, lift them up, and when your hips are slightly off the ground, pause for a moment, then slowly lower them. There are two points to note in this movement. First, keep the thighs and calves vertical when retracting the legs. Second, do not place the legs completely on the mat when lowering them. You can stop when they are 10 centimeters off the ground and start the next movement.

3. Air Crunches

As the name suggests, this move must be performed in the air. Find a horizontal bar, hang yourself on it, put your legs together, turn your body slightly, and contract sideways, alternating between left and right. Pay attention to keeping the upper body vertical, the movement must be smooth, and pause for a moment after contracting to the highest point. This movement can effectively engage the external oblique muscles of the abdomen.

After reading the above introduction, do you now understand these methods of exercising abdominal muscles? After mastering these good methods, the key thing we need to do is to insist on exercising every day in our lives. Only then can we make our big belly disappear and make our abdominal muscles more toned.
