Abs Exercise Isometrics: focuses on the strength and tone
of three aspects of the abs and core:
The Rectus Abdominus (the muscles forming the "six-pack")
The Transverse Abdominus (the muscles that pull in your stomach
and keep your stomach flat)
The Obliques (V shaped muscles that taper your waist line,
also known as the "love handles")
Each position should ideally be held for 30 seconds at the beginning.
It should be noted that your blood pressure can rise dramatically
when performing these techniques, so if you suffer from
hypertension or a heart condition check with your doctor first.
Here are 3 of the most effective Abs Exercise Isometrics:
The Isometric Stomach Flattener:
Sit up tall and straight in your chair.
Breathe in deep and suck in your stomach as hard as you can.
Now tense your stomach hard, as though bracing for a punch
still keeping it sucked in.
You feel that tightness, a slight quiver in the muscles?
Good, thats the start.
Breathe out tightly making an "ssssssss" sound.
Youll feel your abs getting tighter.
As you breathe out, crunch your abs really hard,
rotating your pelvis upwards and your rid cage inwards.
Breathe all the way out.
Relax.
The Side Bridge:
Lie on your right side.
Make sure that your ankles, through your hips,
past your shoulders and to the tip of your head is all in a straight line.
Prop yourself up on your elbow, making sure its directly below your shoulder.
This will bend you at the hips. Your forearm should be flat on the ground
and pointing perpendicular to your body.
Straighten your whole body like a plank of wood.
Hold this position while sucking in your abs for 30 seconds.
Repeat on the other side.
