Ideal Abs – A Grecian Ideal Physique
July 25, 2009
What is the first thing that you see in a classical Greek statue of an athlete? Obviously, his physique. It goes unnoticed how flat and trim his abdomen looks. In ancient Greece, people were known to be athletes and physically strong and maintained their physique.
In today’s world, six-pack abs may be rare to find compared to the Grecian physique and also simply big isn’t the same as a Grecian physique!
There are 3 secrets you need to know to be like a Grecian physique. These 3 secrets are like tripod legs; even if one of them is wobbly, the whole thing wobbles or falls down.
The most important secret is the proper abdominal exercises. Do not waste time on un-necessary sit-ups, as you are not targeting the core muscles in the tummy area.
Doing stomach crunches on the floor or on the exercise ball are the best since it targets the whole abdomen area, the lower, middle, and upper abdomen muscles. Along with this you also need to work on your oblique muscles to get the narrow-waist look because without this you will look nowhere like a Grecian model!
Secondly, strip away the belly fat. No matter how much you do the crunches, your muscle will not show or stand out if it lies under a layer of fat! There are a couple of ways to do this,
• A proper nutrition
• Cardio-training – a 30 minute cardio per day should be enough
• Boost your metabolism
The third secret is to have a flat stomach from inside too. That means if you have bloating, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), constipation and gas, you’d still look fat.
When your body is not feeling well from inside, no matter how much you try from outside, you will not achieve the goal. These issues can be taken care of by eating your food on time to avoid gas and constipation, following a healthy diet, drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water per day, yoga techniques, breathing exercises, and massages.
By following these simple methods you can keep your inner self-healthy too so that you can look like a Grecian from the outside.
