6 Pack Abs | 5 Secrets

First the good news, We all have 6 Pack Abs ! : Without abs, it is impossible to stand, stoop, bend or straighten up, Well at 50 it is often hidden under a fairly thick layer of stubborn fat, that’s right …

But to go from there to thinking that it is “enough” to go on a big diet, to go down to 12% Mg, in short, to just lose a lot of weight to make them appear would be perfect. But it would not be totally useful without the 5 secrets we give you to transform your silhouette and therefore boost your shape.

How to show your 6 Pack Abs ?

1. Work the abs regularly but not each time in the same way

Work the abs regularly but not each time in the same way, nor with the same exercise. You can play on factors such as the number of repetitions, sets, duration, speed of execution or break time, so that the abdominal muscles do not adapt to an inefficient routine.

2. Base your abs training on no more than 2 or 3 dynamic exercises

Base your abs training on no more than 2 or 3 dynamic exercises (which is quite enough) that only use these muscles (chest and pelvis bringing together) without tension on the upper thighs which is a source of lower back pain. We will absolutely avoid all kinds of rotation (wear on the vertebrae) and work on the obliques (also very stressed by movements such as deadlifts and other front lunges) so as not to force the back.

3. Exercise the whole body

Exercise the whole body because exercises for abs do not burn enough calories. The work of all the muscles of the body will increase the metabolism and therefore “consume” more fat, even at rest! On the other hand, doing cardio training will have the effect of increasing caloric expenditure temporarily (the time of the effort) but these expenditures will be “compensated” from the next meal, therefore without really positive effects. It is better to do full strength training with regularity and intensity.

4. Include mainly static or dynamic cladding exercises

Include mainly static or dynamic cladding exercises (start with the first if you are very overweight) which will strengthen your back and harden your stomach. Sheathing does not lose fat but helps to give a flat stomach by continuous contraction and preserves the back by controlling the stature.

5. Get into the habit of correcting your posture

Get into the habit of correcting your posture by straightening your shoulders, aligning your spine and pulling in your belly (keep in mind the image of the navel which can almost touch the spine). Vacuum exercises (pulling in the stomach by contracting as much as possible while exhaling without blocking) can be done lying on your back, resting on your hands and knees or even standing after a while. Start by doing them 3 times a week then every day, and even several times a day. They are ideally placed after sheathing.
