Abs core exercises

Every man and woman dreams of perfect body curve. Well it can be achieved but you need to be committed and extra dedicated with your time management and lifestyle to achieve your goal. It does not have to be exercises alone but it covers everything from diet, nutrition, lifestyle and your physical activity. And the best exercise starts with your abs for core strengthening and good back support. Build your midsection in combination with the rest of your body and look good with a straight aligned spine. It is not possible to stand tall and well… sort of stand above the crowd without a strong midsection or abs.

One blog writer who had been doing abdominal exercises for five years can attests that abs exercises do build strong abs and fully flexible body. He got low back chronic problems and he had been perfectly managing the pain since he started doing abs exercises. So let’s get on to it and obtain whichever fits our situation best: the back pain relief or the body curves. Whatever it is, abs exercises are bound to deliver both results: real time pain exercise management and perfect body curves.

Let’s talk about strength training. Strength training differs from body building and weightlifting. Strength training is done by the use of resistance to obtain muscular contraction. The most common method is using gravity or elastic forces or resistance bands like theraband to oppose muscle contraction. You increased muscular strength, improve flexibility, increase lean body mass, reduce body fat and improve functional ability with strength training. Strength training should be done in moderate intensity if you are suffering from low back pain. The idea is to develop and maintain fat free weight. That’s what my doctors been telling me before when pain is level is already 9. Exercise … exercise…. And maintain desirable weight!

Learn the proper technique to perform your training program from your coach or trainer. This could be a great way to improve strength, endurance and muscle tone but still there is a need to perform cardio exercises to work out your heart and lungs. A combination of cardio exercise and strength training will help you reduce body fat, increase lean muscles and burn calories more efficiently. Workouts should be balanced with proper dose of strength training. Muscle mass diminishes as you grow older and if you don’t do anything to replace it, fat increases and accumulates in bulges all over. To keep you trim and fit, you need to preserve and enhance your muscle mass at any age.
