Abs Isometrics.

But before I get into the isometric contraction, here are a couple of reasons (other than aesthetic) why you should consider including them into your workout.

First, they will tighten and tone your core muscles helping to reduce lower back pain. Second, abs isometrics will improve the function of your internal organs, especially your digestive system. And third, a strong flat belly will increase your overall strength and balance. When you have a strong core that connects your lower and upper body muscles, it enables you to exert more power without fear of injury.

Now for the aesthetic, in surveys conducted by Men’s Health and Shape magazines, a tight muscular waistline was voted the sexiest feature in both men and women.

Isometric Contraction.

The rectus is the muscle you know as the six pack abs. It naturally tends to curve outward giving you a big belly look. This is why a strong transverse is important to pull it in. Most people only train to get a flat belly but forget about the importance of the core to keep everything tight.
