In an effort to improve results amongst all of my clients, unstable surface training has become a major influence, also leading to smaller bellies, stronger low backs, and faster results in all aspects of fitness.
Training for functional abdominal strength while training for aesthetic purposes just makes sense. Functionally, your abs work to stabilize your lower spine, flex your trunk, rotate your trunk, and digest food. It is always important to consider the actions of the muscles you are training for two reasons:
If you consider all actions of muscles you are training, you will stand a much better chance of stimulating areas of your muscle you would not otherwise recruit. You will feel stronger in daily activities, thereby enhancing your motivation to return to the gym.
Trimming your waistline to the point that you will be able to have six pack abs requires the consideration of dietary habits. In actuality, I do not prefer that people diet. Instead, I’d like to see people choose foods that are inefficient in nature, meaning that they require more energy for digestion. In doing so, you will require more energy use through digestion and improve belly fat loss results.
Six pack ab success depends largely on consistency and diligence. In order to improve your fitness level to this extent, it is best to progress slowly over time. An exercise program aimed at long-term results is an exercise program aimed at long-term success.
