RE: Health Vlog #4: The 'Real' Way to Exercise Your Core

in #steemstem6 years ago

I am with you! Doing a million sit ups will not magically show that six pack. That comes from clean eating and strengthening! You need both and without the diet part the six pack just won't show itself..

Awesome post! :)

Sort:  

But situps do strengthen the core muscles but at the cost of your back like he said!

You are correct. Just to add to that though. Doing sit ups will strengthen the abs ability to contract ‘concentrically’.

Research, however, has shown that strengthening the core ‘isometrically’ (the way I have demonstrated) enhances athleticism as well as preserves the spine.

You are right. A layer of fat covering, even the most developed abs, will not do them justice.

My point was more in the direction of the ‘function’ of the core. I’m more interested in human performance.

Thanks for your support :)
