Having A Baby And The Six Pack Abs - Inside And Out



Many women, when they have given birth, find it increasingly hard to rebuild or restructure the abdominal region. I have always felt that a woman's abdominal structure is truly one of the most impressive forms of the human body.

I also know, through my research that many women not only find it hard to re-vamp their abs but also, internally. There is a little topic I like a lot called - Kegels.

The book - AbMetrics - focuses a great deal on the internal physiology for both men and women and the need to be 'aware' of the internal workings and feel of your abdominals as you do any midsection/trunk exercise.

The Kegel - named after Dr. Arnold Kegel - primarily focuses attention on the pelvic floor muscle.

Up until the kegel exercise was created, women had to either put up with urinary stress incontinence (the inability to prevent urination when laughing or jumping or other forms of exertion) or risk a possible surgery - which often did not work.

So, what I now help my clients train for is both internal as well as external focus.

Basically, men and women can benefit from this type of focus. Women, for the above reasons, but men also - and the exercise can also have proven effect upon a male's ejaculatory response.

But back to the abdominal and trunk exercises - women who have recently given birth should definately understand this simple process and the exercises it involves to not only give them well defined and strengthened abdominals, but internally, strengthen the muscles that can really be affected during pregnancy.
