Pilates, the exercise specifically tailored to work your mid-section or core, have become extremely popular all over the globe. Gone are the days of working out your core, or abdominals and any muscles surrounding them, by doing laborious, back breaking sit-ups and exhausting crunches. To obtain the rock hard abs made popular by the movie "300" and hunky Spartan warriors shown on the big screen, many people are concentrating solely on their abs and not much else in order to obtain the ever elusive and hard to get "six-pack".
Pilates, the exercise specifically tailored to work your mid-section or core, have become extremely popular all over the globe. Gone are the days of working out your core, or abdominals and any muscles surrounding them, by doing laborious, back breaking sit-ups and exhausting crunches. To obtain the rock hard abs made popular by the movie "300" and hunky Spartan warriors shown on the big screen, many people are concentrating solely on their abs and not much else in order to obtain the ever elusive and hard to get "six-pack". Ever wonder why sit-ups and crunches never seem to get you anywhere in regards to that six-pack you have always wanted? According to a Washington D.C. fitness trainer, doing crunches and sit-ups alone really yields no results in the sculpting department. Of course that's not something all trainers will tell you. They in fact, will continue to push the sit-up and crunch angle to their clients in order to have them keep dreaming of that flat, sexy tummy, all the while knowing the results will be minimal to none. This helps to ensure that the personal trainer continues to get paid by the clients. Why you can't get a Flat Stomach with Crunches There are many contributing factors to obtaining the unicorn of muscle sculpting, the six-pack. Most people will never accomplish this feet. The six-pack really does require a ton of dedication and hard work including years of training, eating right and the thing many people omit from the "How to obtain a Six-Pack" speech, good genes. So instead of daydreaming about the six-pack, we should really simply be concentrating on a flat and toned stomach! The stomach, as you are likely aware, is a problem area for most people. It seems to collect fat more quickly, especially in men. We all know about beer bellies and how they make men look like, well, their fathers. It is no wonder that most men are desperate to shed some pounds from this definitive area, and more often than not they turn to core training to help them do it. But to be blunt, core exercises are an incredible waste of time. Everyone has abdominal muscles but you can't always see them because they are located under a layer of fat. Getting rid of the fat layer that is on top of your core is really the only way to get a flat stomach or the mystical six-pack. Simply working these muscles with core training, though making your muscles a little stronger, will not get rid of this layer enough to be seen by the naked eye. There are so many people that believe the myth that working out one particular area of the body will result in weight loss in that zone. This is defined as target weight loss and it is simply not true. Our body is programmed to function as a whole unit, not in individual sections so weight loss happens all over the body, not just in one place. Cardiovascular workouts have been proven to be the most effective in burning fat and helping you lose weight. More calories are burned doing things like running, biking, swimming, walking, jumping rope or anything that gets your heart beat up. Burning calories is what gets rid of fat so the goal is to get rid of as many calories as one can! The act of core training can have more issues than just not providing results. This exercise can cause injuries if not done properly. Damages to the neck and spine are some of the most common injuries that are associated with core training. Keeping your form is an important part of preventing these types of injuries and people that have a pre-existing condition such as back and neck problems really should stay away from core training all together!! So if the only kind of exercise you do is core training, stop! They will not help you flatten your stomach and they are a waste of time. You would be far better served taking a run around the block or riding on you bicycle than you are doing endless crunching in pursuit of an elusive dream.
