Do you want perfect, toned and sculpted abs? Read this article and find out how isometric abs exercises can give you a ripped and sculpted midsection in just seconds.
Doing isometric crunches exercises can help you quickly get a slim and flat stomach as well as perfect abs. When it comes to working out your abdominal area you don’t want to increase muscle size. All you will get from doing abdominal exercises incorrectly is a bigger waistline.
And that’s exactly what all of us don’t want, isn’t it?
That’s why Iso Tension exercises for your abs are probably one of the best ways to work out your stomach area.
Isometric abdominal exercises focus on three aspects of abdominal and core training. Additionally, isometric exercises easily target three main muscle groups that make up the entire midsection.
- 1. Transverse Abdominus (these are the actual muscles that keep the stomach tight, contracted and flat).
- 2. The obliques (these are the lateral abdominal muscles, generally known as the love handles when covered in fat. You don’t want to overtrain this particular muscle group because this will add more girth to your waist.)
- 3. Rectus Abdominus (these are the actual muscles that make up your six pack abs)
The fantastic advantage that isometry has over any other exercise protocol is that it does not require a lot of time; in fact, if you were doing freehand isometrics, you shouldn’t hold the isometric contraction for more than a few seconds.
If you are using an Iso exerciser or Iso exercise equipment, you have the advantage of being able to train with both reps and iso tension.
Here’s an easy stomach isotension exercise that you can do at your desk at work or at home. (Keep in mind that you’ll get faster results if you use some type of progressive resistance exercise equipment, such as resistance bands, isometric exercise equipment, or dumbbells.) You will not need any equipment for this exercise.
1. Sit comfortably in your chair with a straight back.
2. Take a deep breath and at the same time squeeze your stomach and hard (suck your stomach).
3. Keeping your stomach contracted, tighten your stomach muscles as hard as you can.
4. When you start to feel your abdominal muscles begin to tremble… exhale while holding the isometric contraction.
5. Relax
That’s how simple an isometric abdominal exercise can be. So don’t wait, try it now while reading this article. It only takes a few seconds.
