Shape Your Stomach Muscles
Stomach consists of one part of muscle length, but has three parts: the upper abdomen, lower abdomen, and belly side. Each has two ‘sides’. This is what we are familiar with the term six-pack. Part deepest abdominal muscles that hold six-pack is called the transverses abdominis.
The question may often arise in your head is: Is it possible to have the shape of a flat stomach and nice, without a six-pack and look too muscular. The best plan is to train your stomach to the stage where you like what you see, and then change your workout to a pattern of maintenance. When you form your stomach muscles, you practice every two days, then to a maintenance program, practice 2-3 times a week.
If you want to train your stomach, watch the other parts of your body. Tighten your abdominal muscles without adding muscle mass in other parts (especially the spine) can cause your shoulders come forward and make your back bend, which leads to pain in the back and posture problems. The key to avoiding this problem and get the most out of your exercise program is to ensure that your stomach to contract by pulling your belly inward when the exercise.
Breathe correctly when training the abdominal muscles are also important. You should exhale when the weight (the part where your stomach is pressed). Do not also bend or flatten your back while training on the mat. There must be at least a little distance between the back of the floor. You should do abdominal exercises when you finish training the other muscles, or muscles you’ll be too tired to support other parts of your body
