The reinforcement of the abdominal muscles is a very interesting topic, as there is physical training or gym or fitness center that offer them.
The belly is by far the more physical point where we would be in shape to show the beautiful turtle for men and a belly masterfully tonic for women.
But the abdominal wall is not only important aesthetically, but the fact is not discussed at all!
It 'also important for the posture, which helps to maintain correct posture, either sitting or standing during any physical movement dynamic.
The belly, on closer inspection, is the center of our body.
From health and tone of the intestine depend on the tone of the abdominal wall and vice versa. We can say that a swollen and distended intestine may be excessively influenced by relaxing the abdominal wall. And a relaxed abdominal wall can not sufficiently support the viscera slowing and altering the function.
Education postural born during early childhood and EFORT conditioning dala personality. There are many sports, martial and soldiers trained to maintain an upright posture characterized by a well-controlled belly. Think of the position of attention, and stomach in chest out.
To get an idea, try to fall slightly to bring the thinking of the belly navel to the spine, lift the rib cage by opening the sternum, and listen as the spine is magically lightened, both at the cervical spine. It is not necessary to inflate the stomach or chest, lift your shoulders seeming to plaster it, the movement is actually very small and barely visible but it affects the whole system as postural lifting upward.
This is the feeling that we should maintain a stable and continuous: sitting, standing and during any physical activity. This simple attention to our figure gives an elegance and nobility indisputable. Also remember that the mind affects the body but the body is able to influence the mind. It follows that this simple attention, not only makes us feel noble by others but also ourselves, working on the concept of extremely useful and ultra-touted 'self-esteem.
Returning to the common and gyms and abdominal strengthening exercises recommended dynamic, I can say with confidence that they are all potentially harmful to patients with lumbar disk disease and cervical. Particularly at risk are the exercises where you raise your head and shoulders even with hands behind head, classically called crunch, are at risk exercises where you raise your legs and buttocks like to go upside down. These exercises are particularly at risk because most are made in the absence of control and listening skills.
But a person with disk disease as it must do to strengthen your abs without jeopardizing his spine and then having to resort to surgery for a hernia maybe expelled? Simple and safe! There are so-called static abdominal exercises. These are performed with the neck and lower back flat on the floor or bed, working only on the control of the legs raised to different heights and different positions. In these exercises the abdominal muscles are the more or stabilizer muscles do not involve the lumbar vertebrae as cervical them.
These static abdominal exercises dovrebbereo be learned from an experienced personal trainer or physiotherapist. They are often used in the Pilates method, where maintaining the navel slightly in during different exercises and the use of bolts and tools to allow this technique, if properly executed, severely curtailed if not completely risk in patients with disk disease.
But surely the maintenance of the belly, if learned properly, ie without forcing the lumbar spine in retroversion of the pelvis, and without going into too much tension neck, if done regularly and for prolonged periods can build a kind of girdle and torso anatomy. Useful not only aesthetically but as a real support and postural correction.
Furthermore, this mild abdominal muscle tension remained static requires no special equipment, nor a specific time or time spent, with no risk or overcome. It 's just a matter of attention and body awareness and posture, and needs only practice.
Once learned, however, is a work achieved by any person regardless of the type of structural disorder from skeletal muscle and the age, protects the spine from the tendency to curl with over the years and gives elegance and promotes what is known as "plug back in life. "
