Exercises To Achieve Flat Abs

• When our bodies begin to tighten up in areas such
  as the hips from sitting down all day we then
  begin to feel pain in our lower backs. Now
  imagine going straight into a gym and starting a
  heavy leg work out on tight hip and leg muscles,
  it's only a matter of time until an injury
  occurs. So proper stretching and flexibility
  should be one of the first goals you should
  execute when first beginning to workout. Lastly
  is core training, I can't say it with more
  confidence as to how important core training is
  to anyone's goal and to ANY athlete! Your core is
  located right behind the abdominal wall and it is
  one of the first places where all movement begins
  and is the center of your body. To put it simply,
  it is the rock and foundation of your body. An
  easy way to work your core is simply by absorbing
  your stomach in and holding it while controlling
  your breathing. It can be done while watching TV,
  sitting down at work and even driving. It should
  become a habit to keep your core nice and tight
  and to absorb your abdominal muscles in when
  beginning any exercise. Several other core
  exercises can be found basically anywhere online
  or in most health fitness magazines and you
  should familiarize yourself with various core
  exercises.

• Once your core is strengthened you should then
  move into abdominal exercises. Having a powerful
  core can also take tension off your lower back
  and can either alleviate or solve many lower back
  problems. By strengthening your tendons/ligaments
  along with stretching and building a powerful
  core, you will not only create a great foundation
  but more importantly these simple exercises will
  lead to an injury free future that will have you
  on the right track to building a stronger body in
  the safest and most effective way possible. Today
  I'd like to highlight 5 simple, but highly
  effective exercises that everyone should a) know
  how to do properly and b) incorporate into their
  training. The beautiful thing about these
  movements is their versatility. By doing this
  simple exercise you are already strengthening
  your core! All of them can be performed anywhere
  and altered (by adding weight for example) for
  increased difficulty. Whether you're a
  competitive athlete or just started an exercise
  program, these exercises will help you achieve
  your fitness aspirations.

• The squat is a critical component of any workout
  regimen because it engages nearly every muscle
  group. Moreover, it serves as the foundation for
  other more complex movements. So let's learn how
  to squat correctly. Start with your heels
  shoulder width apart and your toes turned
  slightly outward (about 30 degrees). Put your
  arms straight out in front of you and squeeze
  your shoulder blades together. Keep your chest
  up, look straight ahead and begin to squat down.
  Focus on keeping your core tight and pushing your
  knees outward you want them to be in-line with
  your toes. Once your hips are below your knees
  (you always want to achieve full range of motion,
  no half squatting), squeeze your glutes and drive
  your hips up, being sure to keep your heels on
  the floor. Many people struggle to squat
  correctly due to inflexibility. Don't get
  discouraged! Make sure to do hip mobility
  stretches and warm up before starting a squat
  routine. With some practice, you'll be doing
  perfect, full squats in no time. It seems like
  the sit-up has developed an undeserved bad
  reputation. Ab machines bombast the sit-up as bad
  for your back and ineffective.

• Specforce Abs Review The truth is, when done
  correctly, the sit-up is an incredible exercise
  that engages all of your core muscles. Start by
  sitting down with your feet in front of you sole
  to sole, with your knees spread out wide. This
  will prevent your hip flexors from doing all of
  the work that we want your abdominal muscles to
  perform. You should look like this Raise your
  arms above your head and bend down slowly until
  your hands hit the floor behind your head. You
  may want to use an Abmat or a similar product to
  provide some added comfort. Your back should be
  lying flat on the floor with your hands extended
  above your heads, also touching the floor. Flex
  your abdominal muscles while simultaneously
  bringing your arms down from above your head,
  driving your hands to touch the floor in front of
  your feet. Congratulations! You've successfully
  completed a sit-up. The push-up isn't only for
  the military. Push-ups build upper body and core
  strength, while improving shoulder health. If you
  can't do a push-up with your legs fully extended,
  start practicing with your knees on the ground
  instead.
