Orleans Chiropractic - Effective Abdomen Training
The demands on our time and attention are increasing all the time. The world we live in has become increasingly more difficult to live without some negative stresses in our lives. Our jobs are becoming more competitive and less secure. The industrial age may have provided useful machines and helped to increase productivity but along with it came NOISE: construction noise, loudspeakers, motorized vehicles, etc. Physical stresses have increasingly become worse over the years (air, sound and water pollution). Our awareness of world news has also increased dramatically because of the electronic media and internet available to us. Lets be honest, its not usually good news. All of these things contribute to increasing the anxiety in our lives and has basically assaulted our senses creating a physical and emotional reaction.
Effectively working the abdominal muscles in a standing position is highly recommended for developing spinal posture. Most of us stand with our hips tilted forward, due to tight hip flexors. Having strong abdominals can counteract this tilt by pulling up on the pelvis. When performing some abdominal exercises, it feels like the muscle is divided into an upper and lower. But this is a false interpretation, as they are inextricably connected.
Blasting your abdominal muscles with constant high intensity exercises for a brief period of time will reap maximal benefits. Perform sets and repeat the sequence twice. The entire workout should be completed within about 15 minutes and be performed twice weekly.
High-intensity, short-duration exercise has been shown to significantly reduce fat deposits around the midsection. The accumulation abdominal fat is linked to increased risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes and elevated levels of bad cholesterol. By reducing belly fat, you reduce your risk of these conditions while simultaneously slimming your physique. And who doesnt want that?
Those who suffer from back pain are now more aware that the source of their problem can be focused on their core. Confusion still exists between 'core exercises' and 'back exercises' and which ones actually work. You need to focus specifically on the core and examine how many, when and how often these exercises should take place.
