Why Your Ab Workouts Might Not Be Effective

Whether you're looking for that dreamy six pack or simply want to develop a stronger core, people spend an unnecessary amount of time on their midsections. However, even with a plethora of effort and dedication to the cause… results can still escape us. You might need to stop SETIFing altogether if you are in this situation So here are few of the most common reasons why you have a shitty ab workout.

1. Overemphasis on Ab Exercises

Everyone thinks about the six-pack but only crunches or ab-specific movements work on it. Having this restricted approach means your balance, core strength and overall body functions are bound to become unstable. Your routine should give lot more variety to other muscle groups as well.

2. Neglecting Diet

Because, the fact is that abdominals are oftentimes a game of body fat percentage more than they are sheer effort. Exercise can be a great way to build muscle, but if you diet on processed foods and sugar all of that hard work may just go unnoticed under the ring of fat around your body. Eating balanced and healthy diets can help highlight the definition you put in work to receive.

3. Inconsistent Routine

In fitness, Consistency is the key. Next, if your ab workouts are cyclic and unaligned to any program that you can follow through with, then progress will be minimal. In the long run, establishing an overall workout routine that includes core exercises (not to mention full-body strength training and cardio) will result in more drastic improvements.

4. Improper Form

Doing ab exercises incorrectly does not only prevent them from being as effective, but they can also be the cause of injury. So many people A) race through intervals, sacrificing form just to get more reps in… Use controlled movements and engage your core to get the most of it.

5. Lack of Variability

If you repeat the same ab exercise over and over again, that will eventually lead to a plateau. Over time, the impact of those workouts on your muscles diminishes because they adapt to that kind of stress. Add variety to your workouts with a diverse selection of exercises, such as planks, leg raises and stability ball rolls in order to work towards making incremental improvements.

6. Ignoring Other Muscle Groups

More than the abs, it comprises your back, pelvis and hips. If you miss targeting these areas in your core workout, then it is possible to develop weakness which will inhibit some other factors from being the best at body weight ab workouts as well. Make sure your routine hits all the core areas.
