Best Ways to Get Rid of Belly Fat

By Nike Towman

You must make yourself ready to have core abdominal training, if you wish to flatten out your abs and develop 6 pack abs. After you have your mind set to undergo intense training, you must pick out the easiest and least hazardous path to finish your agenda.

You can lift the legs above the land. Then your lower part of the body should be kept at right angles. This is also a method of doing crunches. Crunches can be safely done in this style.

The safest abdominal drills are found based on the work to contraction ratios. According to this ratio, the exercise for rectus abdominus, which focuses heavily over the abdominal muscles and the least over the lower back is viewed the best.

Many of the regular abdominal drills have been tested to find out their work contraction indices. The maximum has been scored by the exercise in which you lift your legs and keep your hips at 90 degree. The reason for this is the force on the lower back is less than that in the abdominal muscles.

Hanging double straight leg raises is the exercise which works hard on the abdominal muscles as per the study. In this you must hang from a bar and lift both your feet in front of you.

This exercise can replace your crunches, since they give much force on the abdominal muscles. However, this exercise also seems to give much pressure on your lower back.

Why do hanging leg rises put so much force on the back?

Your lower back faces the challenge and experiences the force, whenever you move your legs. The movements of your pelvis, lower back and legs can be taken control of, when your body is adjustable enough and strong.

Your capacity of controlling the pelvis and legs is necessary for developing the core strength. This is more important for people in athletics.

To bend your muscles and to move your thighs closer to your chest, you need the help of the hip flexor muscle which is attached to the spine. So when you move your tight muscles, you will put pressure over spine. This is typical, but if your ab muscles are really weak or you are really inflexible you will have added pressure on your back.

When the back arches overly more force is placed on the joints of the back. Lifting the feet off the ground and bringing the hips to 90 degrees decreases the arch in the back and takes off some force. Benefits and risks for every exercise vary. But their pros and cons are sure to occur. You must select your own exercising routine based on your body's fitness levels. - 29887
