Benefits of abdominal workouts

Hello guys,I am here to tell you about the benefits of abdominal exercise

Firstly
  What is ABDOMINAL EXERCISE?Abdominal exercises are type of strength exercise those that affect the abdominal muscles (colloquially known as the stomach muscles or "abs")

              BENEFITS OF ABDOMINAL EXERCISE

1.IMPROVED PERFORMANCE IN SPORTS

Many sports or strenuous activities require balance, stability and core strength. Abdominal workouts target these muscles and thus provide you with core strength whilst performing the activity. These workouts enable players to transfer more energy from their core to their limbs, thus, increasing their performance and scores, as opposed to players who have weaker abdominal muscles.

2.REDUCED LOWER BACK PAIN

Lower back pain is a problem affecting many people from all backgrounds. Weak abdominal muscles contribute to increased lower back pain. Lower back muscles that are not exercised become rigid in the joint areas and may lead to chronic lower back pain. Abdominal exercises target these back muscles and the spine, making them more flexible and less rigid, thus reducing lower back pain.

3.IMPROVED POSTURE AND STABILITY

As we’ve referenced, abdominal workouts target the abdominal muscles which are important for posture and balance. Stability is especially vital for people in sports, and the elderly who are at a risk of constant tumbles and slips.

Abs workouts strengthen the muscles around the spine and improve posture as the body’s weight is correctly distributed. Having a good posture is key in increased confidence and good health for the spine. Abdominal workouts also improve harmony between muscles in the body which plays a major role in balance, posture, and stability.

4.IMPROVED ABILITY TO BEAR WEIGHT

Abdominal exercises provide strength to bear weight. An individual who engages in abdominal workouts is better placed to lift heavier weights without causing damage to the spine. This is because abs workouts strengthen the torso and help to provide a stable base for lifting.

5.FIRMER WAISTLINE

Abdominal workouts help in reducing body fat, a problem associated with many lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and obesity. By increasing muscle mass in the abdominal region, the body metabolism increases and more fats are burned. This leads to a trimmer, leaner body.

Abdominal muscles require strengthening just like other muscles of the body. While these workouts contribute to a good looking and trim body, having the inner muscular strength is a major goal to aim at when doing abdominal workouts.

6.VARIETY IS KEY

Abdominal workouts, however, do not eliminate body fat on their own. If you are looking to actually lose weight, then variety is key. Try a nice balanced workout that includes plenty of cardiovascular exercise, some resistance training for overall strength and of course, remember to work those abs!
