Why are the abdominal exercises important?

The abdominal muscles are involved in many daily activities and help your back to maintain the correct position at all times. A toned and muscular abdomen can help prevent back pain, scoliosis, and lumbar discomfort. Slimming the abdominal area is, first of all, a need for the wellness of the body. The idea of achieving a flat belly by fasting is wrong: the muscles of the abdomen, if reinforced, allow you to get a slimmer, healthier and more toned figure in line with the your ideal weight.

Flat belly: How to get it?

Prevent bloating by following a few simple rules of conduct:

• eat sitting
• eat slowly, chewing food well
• avoid smoking and alcohol
• do not stand or seat for prolonged time 
• Prefer cooked vegetables and seasonal fruits

Abdominal workout

It is only by the combination of a healthy nutrition, cardiovascular exercises, and abdominal training that you can say goodbye to your belly. It is important to carefully evaluate the interaction between these three factors, in order to achieve the best results in the shortest possible time: working out alone, if not supported by a proper diet, will never give the expected results. On the opposite, when combined with a balanced diet and a cardiovascular workout, aerobic exercise (such as walking or running) helps eliminate abdominal fat by replacing it with toned and sculpted muscles.

Abdominal exercises

Generally, the training for the abdominal muscles involves cycles of 15-20 repetitions alternating with pauses of 30-60 seconds.  Remember to pay more attention to the performance of the exercise rather the quantity. When done correctly, you will lose weight quickly, without damaging the body. Here's how to exercise your upper, lower and oblique abdominal muscles:

• Upper and lower abdominal exercises

On your back, with legs bent at 90 degrees, raise the head and shoulders exhaling slowly. The lumbar area of the column remains in support on the ground, while the position is maintained for 2-3 seconds. Inhale and return to starting position. 

For your upper abs perform the same procedure, this time raising the back up to touch your knees.

• Oblique abs exercises

Lie on your back, one foot on the ground, and one resting on the leg on a 90 degree angle. Exhale and lift your head and shoulders, performing a twisting of the torso toward the bent leg. Hold for two to three seconds and then return to the ground and repeat the exercise on the other side.
