The most effective lower abs exercises: remove the crease and get a flat stomach
In summer, people are divided into two conditional groups: one wants light food, they switch to salads and easily lose weight, others are tempted by ice cream, refreshing sugary drinks, and frequent barbecues in nature. The coach of the REBOOT sports studios, Ksyusha Bogoyavlenskaya, believes that everything should be in moderation, and instead of strict restrictions, she recommends diversifying summer days with training and taking care of the body.
How to get a flat stomach
The most problematic area for many people in the lower abdomen. To pump this area of the press, you need to take a comprehensive approach to the issue: establish a regimen, choose healthy foods and dishes, exercise regularly, sleep at least eight hours, and go to bed before midnight.
Nutrition does not imply a rigid diet: it is important to eliminate food junk. You need to listen to the body, as diets are often harmful, after which the weight becomes twice as much. Observe the metabolism: if the food is not well digested, the stomach will not become flat even with regular fasting.
For a handsome embossed press, men should stop drinking beer. The drink has an adverse effect: it produces more female hormone and contributes to the appearance of a “beer belly” and breasts. Both men and women should add more greens to their diet.
How to pump the press correctly
Many, playing sports, swing the press incorrectly, which makes the body square. It is better to use a universal set of exercises that girls can do regularly: it forms a beautiful waist. This training block works the transverse muscle, which stabilizes the core and, like a corset, forms a beautiful waist. The exercises also engage the pelvic diaphragm, small muscles, stabilizers, and core muscles.
For men, these exercises are also beneficial. The complex ensures the safety of the lower back: strong core muscles will help the global musculature, thanks to which it will be possible to take more weight and get a more prominent body.
Roll up or ball crunches
