3 Reasons You Need To Have Abs Now!



Our bodies are constantly being measured. In gyms, playing fields, beaches and bedrooms all over the world they are measured by others. In mirrors and on bathrooms scales we are constantly measuring ourselves. Besides the vanity measurements, there are many other reasons why having strong abs are not only beneficial but almost necessary. While some people may think that working towards having six pack abs is shallow, there's nothing wrong with striving to have great 6 pack abs. When you have abs you are telling the world that you're motivated, confident, healthy and disciplined. You will feel better about yourself and you will look better. A survey showed that 32 percent of women said that abs are the muscles that most likely to make them melt.

Having strong six pack abs will do more than just turn heads at the beach though. Here are the top six reasons, besides vanity, that you getting those strong abs will make your life better.

Abs will Help you Live longer

Many studies have shown that having a larger waist size can cause many life threatening diseases. According to the National Institute of Health, a waistline larger than 40 inches for men signals significant risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Having abs is not a get out of the hospital free card, but studies show that by developing a strong abdominal section, you'll reduce body fat and significantly cut the risks associated with many diseases, not just heart disease.

Abdominal fat can also put you are risk for a lot of other conditions that rob you are a good nights rest including asthma and gastroesophageal reflux. This can lead to an ugly cycle of having poor sleep, being sluggish and tired, then your body will crave some quick energy, so you snack on some high-calorie junk food. That junk food leads to more abdominal fat...

Abs will Improve your sex life

Having strong ab muscles will increase your stamina. The thrusting power you generate during sex doesn't come from your legs; it actually comes from your core. Strong abs will give you the stamina and strength to try new positions and help you to maintain the motion control that's important for your staying power as well as your partners pleasure.

You will have better erections. When you eat a lot of fatty foods, the gunk that blocks blood vessels leading to your heart will also block the blood leading to your genitalia. This decrease in blood flow will equal softer, or no erections.

You will also have increased length. The fat that is at the base of a mans abdomen covers up the base of his penis. Studies have shown that losing just 15 pounds will add up to a half an inch to the length or a man's member. Technically it is not growing, losing the fat that surrounds it will allow all of you've got to show and perform.

Abs will Strengthen your back

Most back pain is related to weak muscles in your trunk, maintaining a strong core can help resolve many back issues that men suffer from. If you are one of the millions of men that suffer from back pains, developing strong abdomen muscles are essential.

When your abs are weak, the muscles in you glutes (your butt) and the muscles in muscles in the back of your legs (your hamstrings) have to compensate for the work your abs should be doing. The effect is that it destabilizes the spine and eventually leads to back pain and strain. It could even lead to more serious back problems.

How To Get Flat Abs Fast



Lets face it, the abdominal muscle group is the center piece on any muscular body. The reason why is because of the science of aesthetics. The eye will naturally follow the V shape of wide shoulders and a small set of abs. This V shape makes the eye settle at the abs which is why the abdominals are so popular as a body part to work on.

But there is some bad news. Most people are very confused about getting a flat, lean, ripped set of abs. Many people give up because of the phenomenon I am about to share with you now. People get confused about the V shape. The reason why a muscular body is so much more appealing with a nice set of abs is because of the differential dimensions between the shoulders and the torso. The wider the shoulders and the smaller the torso, the more satisfying the body is to look at. The eye searches out that V shape.

But what do we do when we decide to get a real nice set of abs? What can we do? We do what all the trainers suggest and that is to work them. To do ab crunches and sit ups. Makes sense? Of course it does...or does it? When you work your abdominals, you GROW them. I hope you just read that, it is the most important point on this page!

When you grow your abdominals you reduce the differential between the top of the wide V shape and the narrow tapered bottom, the abs, because the abs are getting thicker and wider. When we begin to work the abdominals, we grow them. The abs naturally respond to the strain you apply to them. If you also have a layer of fat across your abs, this along with the now larger abdominal muscle group begins to dominate your physique and shape. Make sense?

The abs are a large muscle group that respond very effectively to resistance training. They can easily be ripped. But we are not trying to grow this responsive muscle group. We are trying to create the V shape taper that the eye naturally seeks out. so the job is essentially to reduce your body fat percentage. Increase the size of your shoulders arms and chest (which can never be too big) and make the skin across your abs as thin, tight and supple as possible. The good news is, groveling on the floor doing back breaking sit ups is completely unnecessary on an ongoing basis. You do need to do some crunches to get them to respond, but the abdominals is one muscle group that you don't need to grow too big!

3 Exercises for Sexy Six Pack Abs



Nothing else demonstrates fitness and attractiveness to the opposite sex as well a great looking stomach. So, it is no surprise that both guys and girls want sexy six pack abs. The only problem is, what's the healthiest and most effective way to achieve a six pack of abs?

The answer lies in a low body fat percentage. This is achieved most quickly through a healthy diet, strength training and aerobic exercise.

But to have a really great six pick, you will want a well developed midsection. So I have included 3 of the most effective abdominal exercises as recommended by the American Council on Exercise. By performing the following exercises consistently, week in and week out, you'll get that six pack fast.

Reverse Crunch

It might seem as if this exercise focuses only on the lower abs, but your abdominals are one long muscle, so you can't really separate the upper abs from the lower abs.

1. Lie down on the floor and place your hands on the floor or behind your head (avoid pulling on your neck).

2. Bring your knees in towards your chest until they reach about 90 degrees, with your feet crossed or together.

3. Contract your abs so that you curl your hips off the floor, reaching your legs up to the ceiling.

4. Lower and then repeat the exercise for 12-16 reps.

5. Although this is a small movement, try to use the abdominals to lift the hips instead of swinging the legs to create momentum.

Full Vertical Crunch

During a full vertical crunch, your abs are really worked by involving both your lower and upper body.

1. Lie down on your back and straighten your legs up to the ceiling.

2. Place your hands behind the head (remember, don't strain your neck) and contract your abs so that you lift your shoulder blades off the floor.

3. Then, press your heels towards the ceiling, in order to create a 'U' shape with your torso.

4. Lower and repeat the movement for 12-16 reps.

The Ab Rocker

The Ab Rocker exercise requires the Ab Rocker machine which can be found in most fitness clubs.

1. Sit down on the Ab Rocker and grip the bars with each hand.

2. Contract your abs and tilt forward, by using your abs instead of momentum from rocking back and forth.

3. Release and then repeat the movement for 1-3 sets of 12-16 repetitions.

4. Be sure to go slowly in order to reduce your momentum. Try to focus on your abs instead of pushing with your arms.
