We Take It for Granted

It is so true and correct

What we forget about six pack

So from pilates training i did yesterday i learnt that we are doing crunch, plank, and other exercise for our sixpack and lean abs. Maybe you already have your lean abs? Your sixpacks? But we forget the most important muscle deep inside the core.

Transversus Abdominals
What is Transversus Abdominals? We called it TA.

The transverse abdominis is the deepest muscle in your stomach before you reach the organs. Its fibers run horizontally around your abdomen like a belt, hence the name "transversus abdominis". The primary function of this muscle is to compress the ribs and viscera, stabilizing pelvis and spine. Providing you with protection and stability, this muscle is located underneath both the external and internal obliques and also wraps around your spine. It is the deepest of all the abdominal muscles.

There are all kinds of abdominal or core exercises to choose from. Certain ones will target particular or a combination of abdominal muscles:

Rectus abdominis:
This muscle is the most popular. Running along the front wall of your abdomen, it is known as your "six pack abs." They are used primarily for flexion, bending, and stability.

External obliques : This muscle is located along the sides and front of your abdomen. They are used mostly for flexion and rotation.

Internal obliques: On both sides, this muscle is located underneath the external obliques and running in the opposite direction. They are also used for flexion and rotation.Transverse abdominis.

To get a flat stomach fast, we are going to concentrate on the transverse abdominis or your "T ABS" as it is your secret ingredient. Your T ABS are your body's natural corset. Though you may not see these muscles as you can the rectus abdominis and obliques, the T ABS hold everything in. Imagine an old rubber band that's been used and re-used. It eventually gets weak and is no longer useful for holding things. That old rubberband is like your T ABS, especially as you age or experience pregnancy. If the T ABS are weak, your belly will literally "hang out." Failure to achieve your dream mid-section is usually due to improper training of these muscles. However, particular exercises will strengthen and pull your T ABS inward, creating a slimmer mid-section.

Pilates Training

Start from 17 November 2013- 24 November 2013, i am having my pilates training.

A little bit knowledge about pilates.

Pilates is an innovative and safe system of mind-body exercise using a floor mat or a variety of equipment. It evolved from the principles of Joseph Pilates and can dramatically transform the way your body looks, feels and performs. Pilates builds strength without excess bulk, capable of creating a sleek, toned body with slender thighs and a flat abdomen. (Yeah, we know – who doesn’t want that?)

It is a safe, sensible exercise system that will help you look and feel your very best. It teaches body awareness, good posture and easy, graceful movement. Pilates also improves flexibility, agility and economy of motion. It can even help alleviate back pain.

No matter what your age or condition, it will work for you, but don’t just take our word for it. According to the SGMA, in the U.S. alone nearly nine million people participated in Pilates in 2009 – a staggering 456% increase from 2000. {Pilates.com}

So pilates is a mind and body work out. Why?
Because we are not only working the body, but working the mind to make a connection with the body. Yes! I tried it and i really have to think hard to make a perfect alignment of my own body.
