When is the best time to exercise your abdominal muscles?

For some friends who want to have perfect abdominal muscles, it should be noted that exercising the abdominal muscles is not only about stimulating the skin, but also about choosing the right time to exercise so that you can achieve twice the result with half the effort. So, when is the best time to exercise the abdominal muscles? The following content is the answer to this question.

1. How many times a week should you exercise? Scientists from NASA have confirmed that if you stop exercising, your muscles will degenerate at an alarming rate. If a person does not exercise for three days, the maximum strength of his muscles will disappear by 1/3; the muscles that have been exercised must be exercised again within 48-72 hours in order to build up the required physical effect. That is to say, the good effects of promoting human metabolism can only last for 2-3 days at most. If it exceeds this period, the human body's functions will be greatly reduced. It can be seen from this that exercising 3-4 times a week, 30-60 minutes each time, can achieve the goal. Why is that? The reason is simple, because the human body cannot store certain vitamins and must continuously take them in from food or use other methods to supplement them every day to meet the body's needs. Likewise, the human body cannot store the effects of a certain state of exercise and must persist in doing so on a regular basis in order to improve body functions and achieve the goal of developing muscles and strengthening physical fitness.

2. When is the best time to arrange each exercise? Soviet physiologists measured the changes in leg strength of 18-28 year old weightlifters during vertical jump and arm strength when bench pressing heavy objects and proved that: muscle strength changes at any time of the day, but the peak of muscle contraction force occurs at 11-14 o'clock and 19-21 o'clock. The change in upper limb strength was 10%, and the change in lower limb strength was 30%. Many foreign scientists have also revealed that the human body's functions change greatly during a day and night. At 8-12 o'clock and 14-17 o'clock every day, the muscle speed, strength and endurance are relatively at their best; at 3-5 o'clock and 12-14 o'clock, the muscle speed, strength and endurance are relatively at their lowest.

It can be seen from this that scheduling exercise time when muscles are in the best functional state will achieve twice the result with half the effort. Young people can arrange exercise time during the afternoon extracurricular activities time, which is 4-5 pm. At this time, the muscles are in optimal function, which helps to improve the muscles' load capacity and exercise ability, inhibit the intellectual center and excite the motor center, thereby achieving the purpose of active rest.

The above content is a detailed introduction to the best time to exercise the abdominal muscles. I believe that now everyone should have some understanding and knowledge about when is the best time to exercise the abdominal muscles. The time arrangement for exercising the abdominal muscles cannot be forced. The specific time must be based on your actual situation, and you must also pay attention to science and methods. The amount and intensity of exercise must be reasonably arranged to achieve the desired effect.
