What are the benefits of abdominal muscle training?

Sports are an indispensable part of people's lives nowadays. So most people are used to exercising, but there are many ways and methods of exercise, and we have a wide range of choices. Then abdominal muscle training is also a concern for everyone, so what are the benefits of abdominal muscle training? I believe it will still play an important role in physical health. After all, exercising abdominal muscles is an exercise, and as long as exercise is beneficial to the body, it is harmless. So we can learn some of the benefits of exercising abdominal muscles.

Fortunately, the abdomen has four groups of muscles—rectus abdominis, external oblique muscles, internal oblique muscles and transverse abdominal muscles. As long as you shape well-developed and strong abdominal muscles, they will protect the internal organs inside, not only maintaining the beautiful curves of the human body, but also relieving back pain and coordinating breathing.

People with abdominal obesity usually have not exercised for a long time. Grover, who has long served as a personal physical trainer for Jordan and other NBA players, believes that when professionals test athletes' flexibility, they most need to check those parts of the body that tend to become stiff with age, and the traditional sit-up posture is the easiest way to test the age of abdominal muscles:

Lie on your back with your knees bent 90 degrees and your feet flat on the ground. Stretch your arms straight at your sides, palms facing down. Be careful to keep your arms parallel to the ground and your feet on the ground throughout the movement. Slowly curl your body up over 5 seconds until you reach a sitting position, pause for 1 second, and then return to the starting position over 5 seconds.

The candidate is qualified if he or she can complete the movement more than 10 times without the aid of inertia. If you cannot complete 10 times, or cannot continue to complete the movement after curling up to 30 degrees, it means that your abdominal muscles are seriously aging.

This abdominal muscle self-test method is not only a test of abdominal muscle age, but also a test of physical strength, which can show whether you have exercised recently.

The above are the benefits of abdominal muscle training. It can delay aging, and can also train people's character and will. Generally speaking, it is healthy for the body and mind. It is also a good exercise for the abdomen. It can help lose weight and is a better physical exercise for some athletes, so we can do some abdominal muscle exercises frequently.
