Losing body fat is a purpose that many people have at different times of the year, such as after Christmas, after summer, etc. Many nutritional and sports strategies pursue this goal. Some strategies can be intermittent fasting, cardio after weights, not eating carbohydrates after a certain time, etc. Within these strategies, we have to take into account that the selection of the exercises that we are going to do with the aim of reducing waste is very important. It is essential that we do exercises that involve a lot of muscle mass such as deadlifts, squats, etc. Even so, it is very important that we perform exercises that involve the area to be worked in a very specific way, which in this case would be the abdominal area, as is the exercise that we are going to discuss next. What exercise is it, The exercise we are here to talk about today is the abdominal plank? Iron is an exercise that does not require material, and you can do what you want; in the gym, at your house, if you go on vacation, etc. Performing this exercise is very simple. We only have to stretch completely, supporting ourselves with the tip of the feet and the forearms. Something very important is that we must keep the hips slightly flexed since when a certain time passes we tend to sink and if this happens, we would not be working the abdominal perfectly. The main function of the abdomen is to keep us stable, so the plank, which is an exercise that reduces stability through the hips, is a great exercise to show our abdomen. The best way to do the plank is to do it every day so that our abdomen receives a daily stimulus. If we do between four and six series of 20-30 seconds each, it would be more than enough. Although it is preferable that there is always rest, on this occasion, it is not necessary to rest a day (which can perfectly be done) since fatigue is not high and we can recover correctly from those four or six series. What we must not forget It is important to clarify that we will not lose fat if we are not in a caloric deficit. For this reason, no matter how many planks we do during a month, if we do not get the fat layer between the skin and the muscle mass to disappear, there will be no way to tone the abdomen. The Pall of the press is an exercise that in its original version causes rotation demands on our spine, that is, when performing the exercise we tend to rotate towards the side of the pulley. Our goal is to prevent this from happening. In this overhead variant, we combine not only demands at the level of spinal rotation but, also lateral flexion. Our objective will be to avoid the rotation and inclination of our body towards the side of the pulley. In this way, it is an excellent exercise for our obliques, more so than the original version in fact.
