Health and Fitness Tips - Abs Exercise Isometrics:

Abs Exercise Isometrics focuses on the strength and tone of three aspects of the abs:


• The Rectus Abdominus (the muscles forming the "six-pack")

• The Transverse Abdominus (the muscles that pull in your stomach and keep your stomach flat)

• The Obliques (V shaped muscles that taper your waist line, also known as the "love handles")


The Isometric Stomach Flattener:

• Sit up tall and straight in your chair.

• Breathe in deep and suck in your stomach as hard as you can.

• Now tense your stomach hard, as though bracing for a punch – still keeping it sucked in.

• You feel that tightness, a slight quiver in the muscles? Good, that’s the start.

• Breathe out tightly making an "ssssssss" sound. You’ll feel your abs getting tighter.

• As you breathe out, crunch your abs really hard, rotating your pelvis upwards and your rid cage inwards.

• Breathe all the way out.

• Relax.
