================== ARTICLE START ==================

Have you noticed that most people will never fail to include

abdominal muscle exercises in their routines and yet somehow or

other, they can never own that coveted 6 pack abs?

Have you been religiously doing your abdominal muscle

exercises? Is your abs showing to your satisfaction? No? Why?

Do you know that your abdominal muscle is one of the easiest

muscles to build but yet why is it that most people have

difficulty in developing that 6 pack abs?

Here is the truth. Those of you who are working out your abs

regularly do probably own that much sought after six pack. Yes,

you do. The only trouble is that your belly fat is covering

them. Your abs will not show up well if you have a body fat

ratio of more than 12%. The more fat you burn off, the more

defined your abs will be. You will own that rippling washboard

abs when your body fat is 10% or less. So if you have fat on

your belly, forget about abdominal exercises and burn off the

fats first.

There is another reason why people put in so much effort to

develop their abdominal muscle and yet their abs are not

showing although they have low body fat. Again, there is a

simple explanation. They are doing the wrong exercises and

working out in bad form.

Let’s take for example the most common abs exercises, the sit

up and the leg raisers. Everybody seem to be doing these two

exercises not knowing that these exercises really don’t do much

for their abs. Don’t believe me? Ok…try this. When you do your

sit up or leg raisers, place your palms on your hip on the area

connecting to your thigh and perform the exercises. Tell me what

did you feel? Ahhh….you are getting it. Those muscles there are

doing most of the work. Those are your hip flexor muscles.

Since your hip flexors are doing most of the work, how can you

develop your abs effectively?

So you say, from now on I will do crunches instead. Well, I

have another surprise for you. Most people perform their

crunches wrongly too. Think about it. Why is the exercise

called the “crunch”? It is because you must squeeze your abs so

are that you are crunching them. In order to squeeze your abs

hard, you have to curl up like a prawn and breath out all the

air in your lungs at the top position and then squeeeeeeeze the

muscles so hard that you feel a burn. That will take a few

seconds to crunch out all the air before you lower to the

beginning position again. You can’t do this effectively if you

just go up, down, up down, up down rhythmetically. So, if you

have been doing hundreds of crunches everyday with minimal

result, now you know why. In fact, it is almost impossible for

the average guy to do tens of properly performed crunches and

not to say hundreds of them. The same squeezing principle

applies to other abs exercises.

Ok….now that you know why your abs are not showing up well, so

get on with burning your fats and perform your workout in

correct form. You will then see your 6 pack abdominal muscle in

no time.
