What kind of mat should I use for abdominal muscle training?

When exercising abdominal muscles, what kind of mat should we choose to achieve the best effect on abdominal muscle training? Exercising abdominal muscles is the dream of every man. Men only want muscles, not fat. If there is fat, it will not look good, which will have a great impact on a man. When exercising abdominal muscles, many people choose to use mats to assist in exercising. So what kind of mat is good for abdominal muscle training?

The difference between practicing on the mat and on the ground is that if you practice on the ground, the coccyx will be hit so hard that it will hinder the completion of the movement.

1. Key points of the movement: Lie on your side on the mat, with the upper leg bent, the angle between the thigh and calf is about 60 degrees, the foot is on the ground, the knee is perpendicular to the ground, the lower leg is flat on the ground, the knee is also bent, the angle between the thigh and calf is also about 60 degrees, the foot is placed on the sole of the other foot, the leg on the ground is fixed in one position, the upper body is tilted, the shoulder on the same side of the foot on the ground, and the other side is close to the ground, the upper arm is placed on the other shoulder, the lower arm is straight and naturally placed on the mat, take a deep breath first, then tighten the external oblique muscle on the far side of the ground, and exhale at the same time, then inhale while slowly relaxing the external oblique muscle, return the body to the original position, and then practice repeatedly.

2. Time and frequency: Each time you practice this movement, generally do it 10 times, and you will feel the external oblique muscles very well. Do 4 sets each time, and consider it a set when both sides are exercised, with no rest in between. After practicing on both sides, rest for 1-2 minutes before starting the next set of exercises. After practicing for one month, you can increase the number of times on each side to 20 times, and do 4 sets. When you practice 30 times on each side and do 6 sets in total, the shape of your external oblique muscles will be very toned. You will reach this level by practicing for 3 months. To give your muscles time to recover, practice every other day.

3. Note: The most important thing when practicing the external oblique muscles is the balance between the two sides. For example, if you do the left side first, you should do the right side first in the next set. Because the first time you do it you will have more physical strength and feel a little more relaxed. Therefore, in order to achieve balanced growth of the external oblique muscles on both sides, the order of the external oblique muscle exercises on the left and right sides should be adjusted after each set of exercises. The second thing to note is that the movements must be standard, otherwise the rectus abdominis will borrow force and affect the training effect of the external oblique muscles.
