Ab Mat for abdominal exercising $29.95
What is an Ab Mat? The Ab Mat is the new science
of abdominal training. The Ab Mat will train your abdominal muscles
effectively. If you’ve ever felt you weren’t getting
the results you wanted, or you leave your abdominal workout with
fatigue in your back or hips - you should reconsider your workout.
If you aren’t using the Ab Mat to achieve
full range of motion which is needed to complete the kinetic chain
- your workout is not effective and the desired washboard abs may
never become a reality.
Why You Need an Ab Mat - You need to use an Ab
Mat because the abdominal area is one of the least understood and
improperly worked areas of the human body. Most people still go
by the premise that if they feel it in the abs, then they must be
working them. Well, we will try to bring you up to date on the history
of abdominal training, as well as the latest techniques for training
the abdominal muscles.
For years, abdominal training was performed by doing situps. We
took it for granted that this was the only way abdominal training
could be done. Our teachers told us this, and we felt the pain of
the situp in our stomachs, so we didn't argue. The same was true
with leg lifts for the lower abdominals. We reclined on a bench,
held on with our hands and did leg lifts and flutter kicks until
our stomach hurt, and we exercised until we could do no more.
In the early 1970's, exercise physiologists started taking a closer
look at these exercises and discovered that they had an adverse
effect on the lower back. Actually, the pull on the spine during
leg lifts by using the trunk and hip flexors is what led to the
lower back problems. Their hypothesis was correct - but only to
a certain extent. As a result a new era of abdominal training started.
The crunch became the exercise of choice for the abdominal area.
You were now supposedly isolating the abdominal muscles and eliminating
the use of a muscle that could cause injury to the lower back. The
leg lift was eliminated, and lower abdominal area was left out.
The Ab Mat is the most effective tool for developing
and strengthening the abdominal area - bar none. The simple fact
is that no large or complicated piece of equipment is needed to
work the midsection effectively. What is needed is full range of
motion at specific angles, and this is acquired with the use of
the Ab Mat. The Ab Mat, although relatively simple and inexpensive,
is a perfectly suited tool for developing your abdominals. You no
longer have any excuses for not realizing your potential.
Don’t waste time and money on expensive electronic ab belts
such as Abtronics, Ab Fast, Ab Energizer. While electronic stimulation
machines have some legitimate uses (physical therapists use similar
devices to ease muscle spasms), flattening and toning your midsection
is not among them. While it's true that these gadgets do make abdominal
muscles contract, in order for your muscles to grow stronger and
firmer, they also need to work against a force, such as a weight,
a rubber band or gravity. That's why exercises like crunches are
so effective.
