Fast Abs Workout - Round Surfaces Melt Bellies

By Dan Solaris

Modern technology and successful research has enabled the food industries in the world's leading countries to provide a seemingly endless stream of fast delicious gastronomic fare to anyone who wants it- anytime and mostly anywhere. It's inevitable then that a big portion of the populace in those countries will over-indulge and become overweight.

With all the activities we have to do in our daily schedule- go to the office, browse the net and socialize, it's no wonder a lot of people have given-up exercising regularly. This combination of lack of exercise and over indulgence in food will of course yield dangerous results and the cases of obesity and heart disease are on the upsurge.

Most folks start workout programs but eventually stop after a few months. Slow results and boredom are the major hindrances to consistent exercise. The solution is a workout program that brings results that can be seen quickly.

Most people hit the gym to lose weight and get a six-pack. A fast abs workout that effectively tones-up the midsection in a short time will solve issues of boredom and keep people motivated and exercising continuously.

It's been found that abdominal and back exercises done on round, unstable surfaces (like a Swiss ball) are most effective in developing the core muscles. Doing these along with weight-training and high-intensity aerobic exercise can pave the way to rapid calorie-burn and melted belly fat.

The core of the human body refers to the muscles in our center. That means the upper and lower abs, the obliques on either side of our midsection and the lumbar muscles. Most fitness buffs make the common error of putting too much focus on the abdominal muscles and ignore the muscles on the lower back. A highly-developed abdomen would be useless without an equally strong back because injury can result from this imbalance of support.

Using a an exercise ball or similar unstable support for the body while doing ab exercises and hyperextensions will employ the use of the lower back and the muscles of the obliques also. Developing these as well as the abdominal muscles will insure complete core strength and a better balance and endurance.

The amount of calories burned while doing abdominal exercises on an exercise ball or other round surface is increased significantly compared to doing sit-ups and crunches flat on one's back. Studies show that more muscle fibers are engaged in activity when a person is lying on a round surface. The wider range of motion means more calories spent and hence a faster abs workout. - 17268
