How to train the abdominal muscles

Nowadays, many people always like to go to the gym after get off work, and even when they are at home, they like to do some sit-ups frequently. The purpose of this is to better exercise the abdominal muscles, because office workers sit in front of the computer all day and have fewer opportunities to exercise. It is easy to have belly fat, and exercising muscles will make your body more beautiful. So, how do you train your stomach muscles?

Control and tension are crucial throughout the movement, and even the slightest slip-up can result in a lower back injury. As your abdominal muscles become more and more tired, you can gradually bend your knees until you completely understand it. Many people like to do this exercise while lying flat on a bench, which can cause the hips and abdomen to rotate inversely, putting the lower back at risk of injury. It can also reduce the arc tension of the abdomen and put more tension on the buttocks rather than the lower abdominal muscles.

Sit-ups: Lie flat on your back with your calves on a bench, then contract your shoulders and create an arc with your upper abdomen, as if you were about to roll forward. I don't push my head so far forward that it touches my legs during the movement because that means my back will leave the ground and my hips will start to take on the work that should be done by my abdomen. As I descend, I slowly lower my shoulders back to the ground, never relaxing my abs.

Vertical leg raise: When doing this exercise, you should first avoid swaying, keep your body tense, and control the speed of the movement. To hit my intercostal muscles, I rotate my knees side to side, which also works my obliques. The key to a proper leg raise is to extend your hips forward. If you simply raise your legs, it will be comfortable, but it will only stimulate your buttocks instead of your abdominal muscles. Do it my way, the exercises are very strenuous but will totally work your abs. The speed of the movement varies from person to person, but make sure you lower your legs slowly to prevent swaying.

Seated leg raise: This exercise can better stimulate the lower abdominal muscles. Sit on the edge of the bench, extend your legs forward and down, lean your body back about 10 degrees, and hold the edge of the bench to maintain your balance. Without bending your knees, lift your legs up until your toes are parallel to your eyes, then slowly lower them with control.

The above detailed introduction is about how to train the abdominal muscles. I hope it is helpful for everyone. You can also exercise them when you are at work, such as getting water or going to the toilet. With some daily exercise, I believe you will be able to maintain your figure well.
