4 Steps To A 6 Pack

Two of the main reasons people experience of back pain are obesity and weak abs or abdominal muscles. In this article, we look at 4 ways to develop stronger abdominal muscles and reduce body fat and -so you might just get your six-pack!

1.Dead lift to Build Muscle. Your resting metabolism (the rate at which your body burns energy when you are at rest) is higher if you have more muscle. So you will burn more energy throughout the day and lose more fat. Work on building the bigger muscles like the triceps in your arms, the hamstrings and quadriceps in your legs and the trapezius and latisimus dorsi in the back. In order to build muscle, you have to use resistance-weights. If you choose to exercise at home then use dumbbells-they take up very little cupboard space. Another option is to join a gym and use barbells. The exercise that uses more muscles than any other is the dead lift. Start with light weights and always be sure to use good posture-never bend your back.

2. Eat Slightly Less-The Caloric deficit In plain language this means slightly under eating. Here are the daily energy needs of people who are moderately active: A 30 year old woman, weighing 154 pounds or 70kg needs 2300 calories. A 30 year old man of similar weight needs 2600 calories. By the time theyve turned 40, the woman only needs 2200 calories per day, while the man needs 2500 calories. Find a calorie calculator on the Internet, and then calculate how much energy (calories) your meals contain. To lose weight safely and gradually, eat 250-500 calories per day less your daily energy needs.

3. Do cardiovascular exercise-use intervals If you haven’t exercised for a while, start with light walking. Swimming is a great low impact exercise. As you fitness improves, you need to use interval training. Simply, this means exercising at a fast pace for a few minutes, then slowing down for a few minutes, then fast again and so on. So, using a 20 minute session on a treadmill as an example: 5 minutes walking and jogging, 3 minutes running fast, 3 minutes medium pace, 3 minutes fast pace, 3 minutes medium, 3 slow cool down.

4. Strengthen the abs. There are many exercises for abdominals. At first, choose ones with smaller range of motion like the crunch. Exercises with larger range of motion, like the sit up can put strain on the lower back. Lie on your back, with your feet on the ground, knees pointing to the ceiling. Keep your hands by your ears or folded across your chest. Lift your shoulders off the ground as you curl your torso and feel your abs crunch.
