ABs To Go

Now, let's get down to business. It's abdominal muscle (abs) time. Almost as much as we like doing them, typing about them is causing the same effect. Be sure and stick with this to the end, it's where the magic will begin. Let's get into the meat of things. Was going to type heart, what about the abdominals?

Abdominal muscles: A large group of muscles in the front of the abdomen that assists in the regular breathing movement and supports the muscles of the spine while lifting and keeping abdominal organs such as the intestines in place. Abdominal muscles play a key role in exercises such as "sit-ups." They are informally called the "abs". Taken from a medical dictionary. Check this one out.

The belly, that part of the body Abdomen: The belly, that part of the body that contains all of the structures between the chest and the pelvis. The abdomen is separated anatomically from the chest by the diaphragm, the powerful muscle spanning the body cavity below the lungs. The abdomen includes a host of organs including the stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, appendix, gallbladder, and bladder. The word "abdomen" has a curious story behind it. It comes from the Latin "abdodere", to hide. The idea was that whatever was eaten was hidden in the abdomen. This definition was added because there is a lot more to the abdominals than meets the eye. How many of us have them? Waiting for the op to show them off. Selfy! This blog is probably going to hurt some feelings. Don't take it personally. The abdominals are usually the body-conscious practitioners' pet peeve. The pecs for some, the arms for others. What's your pet peeve?

This is directed at the abdominal muscles. With hopes to gain a greater understanding of them. We recently witnessed some information on the www about obtaining the six-pack with a diet. Diet is major in the abstraction of these muscles. Getting to them requires work. Read that again. Everyone already has abdominal muscles, in high school, they were ripped in with the grooves. Etched. After high school, family, busy schedules. No time for abs or anything else. The dunlap, spare tire moves in and about.

One of the main things about the abdominal muscles is their location anatomically speaking. We are a perfect structure. Abs, the middle of the entire body. Reason and purpose for everything. Similar to the tree trunk. From youth, the abs have been engaged to straighten the body whilst growing. Keeping the spine aligned, hips in place, keeping the innards innard to name a few abdominal task.

Where do they go? How can you get them back? They're there already, what can be done to bring them out again, to halt the chit-chat? There are hundreds, thousands of exercises, equipment and moments for the abdominal muscles. This can be a problem. Similar to the vast arsenal of stretches, flexibility exercises can be overwhelming when deciding which ones to use. Sometimes it's easier to not to. You can always just pull the gut in when posing for those sexy photo ops. Try not to pass out.

ATHLETES OF ALL sports—from baseball to football to hockey—base their physical training on improving the strength of their core using compound movements. That's great for pro athletes, but what about guys who just want to get a ripped six-pack? 

First off, let's acknowledge a hard truth: Not all abs are created equal. Some need to work their belly to exhaustion before they can carve out abs, while others seem to get theirs to pop without a single sit-up.

 Regardless of where you fit on the fitness spectrum, effectively training the core comes down to the three planes of motion: frontal, sagittal, and transverse. Doing abs exercises in a circuit style keeps the intensity high and will likely lead to even more fat loss.

Men's fitness/30-best-abs-exercises-all-time article reports the same information that can be found in almost any article online, magazine or book.
Here we go again with the uniqueness of the body. Abdominal cores are like butt holes, everybody has one. What works for Theodore may not work entirely for Jay Don or Ferrell. This is possibly true of the female core. Not professionally capable to write about them, but comfortable to include them in what is typed here from a masculine viewpoint. Find out what fits your pack the best. There are so many to choose from. Similar to the above paragraph (ab exercises in a circuit). To begin, choose one exercise for all three planes of motion: frontal, sagittal, and transverse. Make a workout of it, paying close attention to how or if each exercise is working for each respective area. For example: let's use three different exercises, 25 reps 3 sets. Begin slow and deliberate. Concentrating on how the exercise hits the core and its intensity. What it takes to engage the exercise for each area of the core. Using every day or every other day schedule. This depends on what is requested, not all are created equal. Let's say after the second day there is soreness. It's a great indication the exercises worked. Which exercise and numbers. 25/3. Continue the week with these exercises. The next week choose three new exercises for each area, calisthenics is best for beginners, gradually adding machines and weight to each exercise trying them out for a week. Continue until you know you have at least three ab-busting, burning exercises for each area. Nine, twelve exercises lined up and ready to break the monotony, keeping the element of surprise available. These are the outside preparation version.

 Ok, the secret to abdominal, six pack blinging midsections is from within. Remember when you had an admirable six pack. This was when it was in. Let's go in behind them. This is the key ingredient of the abdominal muscles. Ab magic? The chi, qi breathing. Also known as inner energy. This is very important to the respiratory, body alignment, and core positioning. While working from the outside in, the qi is working opposite. It should be known by now with MxF if it goes one way, it has to go back. Two sides to every story. Yin and Yang. Abdominal muscles a short, unlike a bicep or quad. What engages them would require a kit as we call them. A bag of tricks to go to when needed on short notice. This kit is used to cut or chisel the abs. Three go to exercise especially for getting them going. Unique. This kit may not have the same effect on Taylor or Jessica. One out of three may get sore. If you haven't worked on your abs since Juvember 1942. Regardless of exercise, the percentage of soreness is high. Anything cut will make them sore, the kit should be special. Special to each individuals quest for a six-pack. Basically, what is done on the outside of the abdominals will need to be countered from the inside. This is why it is hard to maintain the six-pack. Without the inside, the outside in is being constructed on a pocket of air, oxygen. Trapped in the abdominal cavity.
See above Abdomen: Belly definition.

 Let's look at it as internal gravity. Below the lungs lies the diaphragm. A muscle. As we begin to lose the gravity within or when this muscle loses its tension, out comes the bulge. Qi breathing will exercise the diaphragm, strengthening it to contract, pulling the organs back into place from the inside. Ab work performed outside seats them back into there natural position. Without doing this the abdominals will only tighten up to the point where the organs have rested outward or where the diaphragm has relaxed. The loss of gravity. Instead of down, this gravity is inward. With a thin line keeping it there.  The plank exercise is a great example of tightening the abs around the core. Outgoing in. Qi breathing is further in out to the planks in. It is as far out as Qi gets. Tighten your abs right now. Are they carved in? Are you able to see them when flexed? If no. Loss of gravity or air basically has organs out of natural. If you can see the abs, pushing all the air outward the Qi is just behind your flexed abs. The above photo depicts exactly the definition attempted explained here. Gather the Qi and a six-pack. Obtain, contain and maintain them longer and easier just by Qi breathing alone. Gain the knowledge about Qi and sink your six in for a shirtless summer. Qi breathers are happier. Laugh more and exuding positivity.

 We are constructed with discipline. The anatomical position is a sweet spot? The core being is at the center. It should be the first area of maintenance when it's positioning is considered. A tight core will provide a more stable foundation to all other limbs along the alignment aspect of health, wellness, and fitness. The core seated in its cavity will allow greater access to the range of motion and alignment of all limbs. In sort of a shock absorbent manner.  Information about the qi should explain more on what is attempted to be expressed here.

Cavity 4. (anatomy) a natural hollow or sinus within the body.  

  

 When the abdominal muscles are tightened fitting back inside and around this cavity supporting top and bottom halves of the body, with a negative gravity allowing the organs exact position, without the outward pull. When punching or kicking a bag. The body tenses during the movement. This flinch protects the organs. Automatically. Bag work offers conditioning of quick muscles throughout the body, jumping rope is a good exercise to tighten this cavity. Off comes the shirt, this is the key not only cosmetically. The natural position offers a plethora of internal benefits as well. More than meets the eye. Abdominal muscles or the six pack are a combination of conditioning the core cavity and a complete understanding of breathing. Its more intriguing than the old legendary inhale-exhale ritual. It is a vital component of time, rhythm, and schedule. Needing special attention and direct monitoring. Peep our you tube channel for AbBacidal for abdominal conditioning. The body is incredibly put together, built. Be careful of the fads that shine, smoke, and use mirror. As complex as the body is, obtaining whatever requested is simple when lack of trust and misunderstanding are eliminated. The discipline, blood sweat, and tears it takes to obtain these treasures. Maintenance is a breeze. Made possible with "The Flexx" through the MentFlexX method.

    Do not get it confused, this is not intended for a standard of beauty. It is an indication of a standard of health, wellness and fitness. If a person is not ashamed of their body, no one else in the world should be able to body shame them. If one is happy. Be that way. Our purpose is health, wellness and fitness related. Not everyone has abs. Oh! But, they do. Our intent is to express the importance of ab exercises and the abdominal muscles fitting snugly in its cavity properly for correct body alignment. The bodies natural position. The health benefits of this position leave no room to argue about the want to be overweight. It's a prerogative. The point being the mental ramifications caused by body misalignment. Don't be in denial of self. Over, underweight? Just do you. This position offers the body rest. When the body is out of this natural position, it engages systems such as increased heart or respiratory rates to counter the effects, thus accelerating aging. Subtly, oh! so peaceful.

Accommodate and adapt. Similar to the process of an injury, discussed in The Tao of MentFlexX

All these letters, and wonderful photos of these beautiful people flashing abs. Consistency is the main ingredient. Start light, small. Nothing entirely overwhelming. Simple fifteen-minute walk, ten push-ups, ten sit-ups. Fifteen minutes of stretching. Builds confidence. Take responsibility for your health, wellness, and fitness while you still can.

 Check your diet, find the diet that is uniquely your own. Regardless of the food you like, your diet is way more important at the moment. Foods you like can become rewards for great discipline locating the diet that is right for you. No need to starve, or overindulge. If you need to be on an alkaline diet. Make the necessary changes. We are a work in progress, always under construction. We're just learning how to eat.  Learning the correct procedure how to defecate/void/#2/do-do. It assists with the cleansing of the section mid the will allow a greater transformation of the abdominal cavity. Worth looking into. Seems almost elementary.  It is actually, not complicated. It's the information that never really matter, to begin with, that clouds the path of knowing. Health, wellness, and fitness are simple. Take it into consideration. "They can't laugh at you." "Simplicity is the key to brilliance." Bruce Lee
