The Benefits Of Having Ripped Abs Is Much More Than Visual

By Daniel Lewis


Within the past century washboards were basically ribbed pieces of metal which were used for scrubbing dirt from clothing. Then the modern washing machine took the spotlight, and the scrub boards slowly faded from use and into the hands of antique dealers. In this millennium washboards are back. They describe the condition of the abs. It can be difficult to determine if open shirt wearing, low riding, hip hugging fashion created the new craze of ripped abs, or if the abs craze generated changes in fashion. Regardless, it is here, and is likely here to stay.

Abdomen muscles that are ripped are strong and in great shape. Even though there is a point of vanity in having the proverbial six pack, there are physiological benefits that can be in effect long after the desire just to look good is long gone. The abdomen muscles are part of what is known as the core. They protect vital organs such as the kidneys, liver, spleen, as well as the digestive tract.

Not only do they help protect vital organs, but they aid in the functions of breathing. Exhaling becomes less laboring the stronger abdomen muscles are. They even help in the functions of urinating and defecating. For women, they are a vital part of the child birth process. When the doctor or midwife asks a mother to push, they are the muscles which are being referred to.

There is also a positive correlation between ab strength and the condition of the back. In other words, the stronger the core muscles, the less stress there is on the back. This means a reduced probability of back problems being developed.

Getting ripped abs is not like getting a tan, which nowadays can be sprayed on. A person can not walk into a gym and thirty minutes later come out with the physiological washboard. It takes dedication and hard work. It could also take years to attain, and a regimented approach to maintain once they are achieved.

The first step deals with diet. Many people have fat layered around their midsection in varying thicknesses. Attention should be put on determining the ideal weight according to age, height, and average level of daily activity. Calorie reduction and eating healthy foods is a change in lifestyle that not only helps in the journey to abs excellence but also enables one to have an improved quality of life.

There are many exercises available that can help define abs. One of the more common approaches is jogging. This activity engages the abdominal muscle group while burning calories, leading to weight loss and improved heart rates. Other activities such as yoga and pilates also aid in the development of the six pack.

While one eats properly and jogs if possible, adding activities that specifically target the abs would be a plus. There are extreme core exercises that place focus on them. When a person finally achieves the ripped abs it is inevitable that the entire health will be in a better state. And maybe there will be another person that proudly wears hip huggers or open shirts.
