Ab Workouts - Muscle Power vs. Duration
People are always asking which is better, having muscle power or long duration workouts? Generally, any kind of physical activity is great, whether it be muscular power training or longer duration endurance activities. However, if your goal is to have abs that are rock hard, then muscle power training is the way to go.
The traditional weight loss programs always emphasized sit-ups and running. Depending on what you want to train, you can run or workout with weights. If your goal is to get six pack abs, then running will not give you what you want.
Endurance activities will train your body to perform for that type of activity. For long distance running, the body will streamline itself and become lighter as you glide over the long distances. If your body did have big muscles, endurance training will decrease the size of the muscles to make the body lighter to run better.
Training for muscle mass will really help kick start your metabolism. As your muscles grow, you will feel your body become a fat burning machine. The bigger muscle mass causes increased overall activity of the muscles, which in turn forces the body to burn more calories.
The increased muscular activity burns the food that we eat and when the body needs more fuel, it will use the excess body fat and burn that. When the body starts burning more fat, the abdominal area of our body will begin to show the underlying abs and give us more ab definition.
Resistance training with heavy weights and low repetitions forces the muscles to hypertrophy and increase its overall muscle activity. The increased intensity of the activity will cause a buildup of lactic acid and carbon dioxide. Once the muscles slow down its intensity, the body will then deliver more oxygen to the muscles, to help replenish and remove waste products.
When the body has a chance to get oxygen to the muscles, the body will continue to replenish, and nourish the muscles from the exercise movements. As a result, the increased muscle activity forces the body to use up more calories and burn more fat.
Long duration or muscle power, the choice is really up to you. Both activities are great at helping you lead a healthy lifestyle. If ripped abs is what you want, then train for muscle power, it will be your fastest and most efficient way to get those abs that you've always dreamed of. - 17274
