Build Strength For Six Pack Abs - Strong Joints Last Longer

By Dan Solaris

Modern technology has been pampering us with a myriad of conveniences we have been taking for granted. Piping hot pizzas at our doorstep 24/7, online shopping and web-conferencing from the comfort of our homes- these practical zeitgeists have made life easier. Undeniably, they have also made us less active and flabbier.

The strong demand for weight-loss products like diet pills, exercise machines and ab gadgets shows that a large portion of society wants to get lean and sport six pack abs. The high percentage of North Americans that are overweight also shows that people are misinformed about effective methods on losing body fat.

Most people, for example, do sit-ups and crunches session after session while leaving-out the lumber and oblique muscles. The imbalance of strength can actually result in back pain and injury because the spinal column is strained. Working-out improperly brings slow results which lead to frustration and quitting.

As experts have long figured-out, the key to getting a sculpted midsection is losing enough body fat by creating a daily calorie deficit. This means making it a point to burn more calories than our bodies take in each day to achieve a body fat index of at least 10% for men and 15% for women.

Now, since all the high-calorie gastronomic fare we live on nowadays makes it impossible to rely on our daily activities (sitting in our cubicle, driving our car and surfing the net at home) to burn surplus calories, the only real solution is to work-out regularly.

Intense total body exercise maximizes the amount of calories we burn per workout session. Only by getting as much muscle groups working can we hope to get lean enough to get the 10% body fat index required to bring out a well-defined abdomen and improve joint strength.

Aside from boosting our metabolic rate, building muscle also strengthens every joint of our body by reinforcing the connective tissue within and around them. Strong joints mean we're less susceptible to injury, so we can keep on hitting the gym everyday and get six pack abs in lesser time.

There is a definite correlation between high obesity cases and osteoarthritis in the U.S. Maintaining a regular exercise regimen will be the proverbial stone that can help solve both of those problems while paving the way to an attractive, well-defined midsection. - 17274
