My Diary Game of 03/02/2025

Today's workout was about building Abs Around Abdomen.

It was fun meeting with fellow stayFit members who encouraged one another to keep fit in all part of the body, programming ones mind is essential to achieving the desired goal also keep in mind that you can not loose weight in only one part of the body.

Your abdominal muscles play a crucial role in providing stability for your spine and helping you move your body. Increasing your core strength and stability is a worthwhile goal, but many people may confuse ab workouts with those that can burn fat.

The Facts About Your Abs

Much of the frustration surrounding the abs is due to misinformation and unrealistic expectations. Despite the hard work of trainers everywhere, people still cling to outdated ideas on the proper way to work their abs and get the much-desired "six-pack.

Doing Ab Exercises Doesn't Get Rid of Abdominal Fat

Unfortunately, spot reduction doesn't work for the abs or any other body part. The fallacy of spot reduction assumes that if you have fat over your abs, then exercising the ab muscles will make that fat go away.

The only way to burn fat from your belly is to reduce overall body fat by creating a calorie deficit. The healthiest way to do that is with consistent exercise—cardio, weight training, and flexibility—and a healthy, low-calorie diet.

Keep in mind that doing all of that is no guarantee you'll lose belly fat. That's up to your genetics, age, and hormones, among other factors not always in your control.

Ab Muscles Aren't Different From Other Muscles of the Body

Your abdominal muscles are like other muscles of the body and grow and become stronger in the same way, using resistance training that progressively gets more challenging as you continue to train consistently.
For this reason, you should train them the same way you would train your biceps or your chest, for instance. That means strength training 2 to 3 times a week with rest in between and a variety of exercises to target different areas of the abs.3

Try dynamic moves that focus on core strength and involve your stabilizer muscles, the muscles you use all day long to hold your body in place. One of these is the plank. To do this move, get into a push-up position and hold it for as long as you can, keeping your belly tight and your body straight. You can do this move on your elbows, which is more challenging, or on your toes.

Core training makes you a better athlete in just about any strength or speed sport, of spine That's because a strong core lets you transfer more power to your limbs so you can punch harder, smash a drive farther, and kick a ball with more force.

A core-training program can both prevent and control lower back pain, If you've had back trouble, you'll be better off doing core exercises that keep you still (like side planks) than moves where you fully flex your spine (like situps). Side planks, bird dogs, and curl ups are also great alternatives.
