Tired of being called overweight, porky, plus size, or obese? Then stop being a couch potato and exercise.  An exercise is movement you make on your body at greater effort as compared to your activities of daily living. Exercising targets to maintain optimum physical health and over all well being.  Also it remains to be the most effective, healthiest, and safest way to lose weight.

The abdominal region is one of the areas of the body to accumulate most fats. Especially as a person gets older the body tends to store more fats in this area. If you are afraid to have that big stomach, then exercise now.

Abdominal workouts help to prevent injury by improving your core. It also improves abdominal wall muscles strength and with continuous workout a flat stomach may be achieved. A lot of abdominal workouts have been formulated like sit-ups, bicycle crunch, captain’s chair, and exercise ball.  All of these exercise techniques are effective and promise good results especially when done properly. Although it can be done at home; it is best advised that before performing the routines, consultation with a physician and personal health trainer is done. By doing such injuries and possible complications can be avoided.

Workout Of The Day: Kneeling Cable Crunch

By FitnessDude · Comments (0)
Saturday, November 28th, 2009

This is a workout that you will probably have to do at the gym, unless you have a universal gym machine at home.  The Kneeling Cable Crunch looks simple to perform, but there are some bad habits people that people pick up while doing this workout.  It is important to keep correct form while performing the Kneeling Cable Crunch in order to get the benefits of the workout.  But this is a great abs exercise to add to your workout routine if you want to strengthen your abs.

6 Kneeling Cable Crunch Workout Of The Day: Kneeling Cable CrunchFirst:  You are going to want to slide the handle to the top of the pulley system.  This exercise is easiest when the rope is attached, but you also can you the v-bar if the rope is not available.  Beginners will want to start with a lighter weight, until you get the hang of it.

Second:  When you hold the rope, you want to hold it at the top of your head; your wrists should be near your ears.  When you kneel down, you want to be facing toward the weight column.

Third:  Pull down using your abs, your waist area can move, but your hips should not be moving.  You also do not want to use your arms to pull down.  Focus on your core and let your core do all the work.  Flexing your core will help you perform this workout correctly.

Fourth:  After you contract downward, you let the resistance of the cable pull you back up.  A keynote here, you do not have to straighten your back all the way, but you will want to stay in a crunch type position.  Make sure your abs stay contracted through the pull down and the pull up.

Fifth:  Continue to pull down and repeat the workout.  You can do 3 reps of 10, or try doing as many as possible.  Just make sure you are using correct form and moving slowly through the exercise.

Slendertone Ab Belt

By FitnessDude · Comments (0)
Monday, November 2nd, 2009

I cannot believe I am actually writing about this “muscle building” product, but I actually had a person ask me about the Slendertone Ab Belt the other day.  So I thought for the sake of my friend and for the sake of others, I should write about this so-called piece of workout equipment.

slendertone ab belt 300x199 Slendertone Ab BeltSo you have probably seen the infomercials of the Slendertone Ab Belt and it probably looks to good to be true.  Well…it is!  The Slendertone Ab Belt is a complete scam, and any other ab belts that promise you six pack abs are also scams.  It would be nice to live in a world that we can sit around on our butts, watch TV and lose fat by putting on the Slendertone Ab Belt, but unfortunately we do not live in such a world.  Instead we live in a world where people get taken advantage of in there desperate state to lose weight.

I really do wish the Slendertone Ab belt or any other Ab belt toner worked, it would give a lot of people an easy option to shed off some unwanted pounds, but the fact is that it does not work.  They have no research to back up their Slendertone Ab Belt product.  If you read the fine print it says that, matched with exercise and a nutrition plan you can see results.  Well of course you are going to see results!! Exercise and a healthy nutrition plan will help you lose weight.

Let me tell you what does work with Electric Stimulation…

When I was younger, I tore my knee up pretty bad.  I was not able to walk on my leg for three weeks, in that three weeks my quad muscle pretty much disappeared.  I was able to touch my right hand fingers to my left hand fingers when I gripped around my thigh.  When I began physical therapy, the therapists started hooking the muscles around my knee up to an electric muscle stimulation device.  This got my curiosity going, I asked my physical therapists if the Ab belt toners actually worked, because they were using it on my knee.  He said no, not at all!  He went on to say that the only way electric muscle stimulation works is to give an inactive muscle the help to start usage again.   Which is the reason physical therapist use electric stimulation, because they deal with people who have been injured and have inactive muscles.

The only thing that the Slendertone Ab belt and other Ab belt toners are good for is irritating the skin.  You will not get six pack abs or burn tons of fat because of the Slendertone Ab Belt.

Abdominal Training

By FitnessDude · Comments (0)
Friday, October 30th, 2009

Why is Abdominal training important?  It is arguably the sexiest region to look at on the body, 32% of women say it’s the sexiest muscle group on the man.  The abdominal region is highly coveted by mostly everyone.  Now, I am not talking about those huge bodybuilders who grease themselves up and flex their muscles for the whole world to see, I am talking about toned abdominal muscles that look great, as well as normal.

There is nothing wrong with wanting defined abs, but here is the problem…exercise companies know you want sexy abs, and they will try to suck you in with their infomercials and their “promises.”  I am tired of seeing all the gimmicks on TV that promise you 6 PACK ABS, with as little as 10 minutes a day.  No abs machine is going to get you six pack abs.  You can strengthen your core, but it takes a lot more than just abs workouts to achieve six pack abs.

flat stomach 1 Abdominal TrainingYou cannot target fat loss to one specific area on your body, it is very important to do abdominal workouts (which we will talk about), but it cannot be the only thing you do.  You need to incorporate cardiovascular training, weight lifting, and interval training.  You need to turn your body into a fat burning machine, and you do that by raising your lean muscle mass, because muscles burns fat.  You also need to have a healthy diet, there are certain foods that can help you get your sexy flat abs, like foods with protein, and foods that are either whole grain or whole wheat.  But let get to some of the reasons why strong flat abs are important, other than just looking good.

men abs.45175617 std Abdominal TrainingYes, great looking abs go further than just skin deep, it’s not all about looking good.  There are many health benefits to strengthening your core that will help you live a long and healthy life.  If you are experiencing back pain, most the time it is because of the baggage you are carrying up front.  Your back is supporting all that weight called your belly, or beer belly.  Strengthening your abs will also help you with everyday activities.  Just think about all the movements we do, twisting, bending, pushing, and pulling, we engage our core far more than we realize, and if we had a strong core than we would be less likely to injure ourselves.  Belly fat has also been related to heart disease, the fat that surrounds our midsections is said to be the most dangerous fat for our hearts.

When you training your body and you come to your abdominal workouts, it is important to find an abs routine that will target each section of your abdominal region.  Target these abdominal regions:

  • Rectus Abdominis
  • Transverse Abdominis
  • External Obliques
  • Internal Obliques

Do Exercise Balls Really Work?

By FitnessDude · Comments (6)
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

The concept of an exercise ball is kind of weird and sometimes hard to grasp. Can something so simple…be so effective?  The answer is…Yes!

An exercise ball, also known as a Swiss ball, stability ball, Pilate’s ball, and a sports ball, is actually a very affective exercise tool in strengthening your core. How does it differ from sit-ups or crunches on a floor?  When you do sit-ups or crunches on the floor, the solid ground helps to stabilize your core.  Because the floor stabilizes your body, you only get an abdominal workout instead of a full core workout.

The reason an exercise ball works, and the reason you see them in gyms and physical therapy centers, is because you are laying on an object that is unstable.  Because you are lying on an exercise ball that is unstable, your core muscles (just not abdominal muscles) have to work to stabilize your body when you perform an exercise.  Exercise balls help you to workout all those little supporting muscles that you cannot target if you were just to do sit-ups or crunches on a floor.

What about using your exercise ball as a chair?

Although sitting on an exercise ball can help strengthen your core, do not believe the myth that you will get six-pack Abs from sitting on a ball all day. There are a lot of factors that you need for great looking Abs, cardio, weight lifting, core exercise, and a great nutrition plan.

Exercise Balls are great to have and there are tons of workouts you can do with them. Exercise balls are cheap and affordable and can definitely help you in reaching your fitness goals.
