The abdominal muscle training is subject to many myths and wrong beliefs the localized loss of fat in the abdomen by "abs".

Many people think of abdominal exercises are to reduce the accumulated fat in the area. This reinforced proposals, machines and equipment at little or no impact on the work of the area and boosted by television advertising. In reality, the abdominal muscle training is done on many occasions, using an inappropriate methodology and misaligned objectives in relation to the real possibilities for improving this musculature, which is not, as we shall see, the reduction of fat in that area.

The establishment of appropriate methodological criteria for a good abdominal muscle training is an issue to consider, as the training of the musculature is essential for its importance from the right and proper implementation of most exercises and injury prevention and pathologies.

The problem of approach more "traditional" is to understand, see and train the abdominal muscles so overly analytical, rather than focusing the training process from the point of view much more functional.

It is intended to train the rectus abdominis, obliques and the transverse, but it is understood that the body has no such vision (neuromuscular speaking) in the majority of shares and there is an action, in some cases and simultaneously alternating and coordinated in others, the musculature. Therefore, we must address the concept of "unity" in the abdominal muscle training, so important to the health of our spine.

Reasons for training the abdominal muscles (I): Arguments to demystify localized fat loss

There are many reasons for working the abdominal muscles but, unfortunately, the reality is that most people use these exercises for a purpose primarily aesthetic abdominal you want a "marked", fat and is thought to perform the best abdominal way to achieve this.

There are several reasons that could be invoked to justify the need for adequate abdominal conditioning, and are not aesthetics, among other things, for doing abdominal exercises will not get cut the fat in that area and have a defined abdominal muscles and visible.

First, make clear a reality anatomical abdominal muscle and adipose tissue does not form a whole, if constituting compartments.

Secondly clarify that the use of body fat depends not involve localized to the area through exercise. Abdominal exercises are exercises localized, involving low energy expenditure (eg 20 curl-ups would involve an expenditure of approximately 9 kcal, which would mean that if in 27 days make a 5004 repetitions, this will only result in an expenditure of about 1400 about calories.

Despite the need to tone the abdominal muscles will be more convenient for a loss of fat, aerobic exercise, which produce greater abdominal fat mobilization by the existence of more B-adrenergic receptors (stimulators) in the abdominal area, also follow a proper nutrition and eating habits and also logically work the abdominal muscles.

Reasons for abdominal muscle training (II): A healthy reality

The abdominal muscles contributes to a decisive extent on our body balance, health and protection of our column.

Mainly, it seems clear that there is a certain mechanism of protection when contracting the abdominal muscles, as leads to increased intraabdominal pressure, which in turn causes the reduction of compressive forces in the column.

Importance of Effective Abdominal Musculature

* Absorption impacts produced by jumps, rebounds, plyometrics, etc..

* Compensation traction effect of psoas and ms. lumbar.

* Stabilization of the body so that the arms and legs can make any movement having as support to the musculature and form a chain transmitting muscle forces between legs and arms (suitable kinetic chain).

* Provides internal pressure (abdominal) that keeps the spine STABLE, reducing stress on the lower back, producing a pressure relief action on lumbar intervertebral discs and stabilizing the spine.

* Collaborate in the ventilation (expiration) in the practice of physical activity.

* Maintenance of viscera in position

* Conservation static attitude and during movement

* Decreased pelvic anteversion.
