Top 3 Myths about Getting Ripped 6 Pack Abs Disputed by Morris County NJ Celebrity Personal Trainer

June 14, 2012 - PRLog -- The quest to getting a set of ripped 6 pack abs has been a world craze for a long time. The media is so obsessed about the flat stomach or ripped abs image. People are brain-washed by the media that they gotta have them to be good, fit, and desired person.

Over the years, many “myths” or half-baked truths have been rumoring around. Most people are confused by different opinions from different experts. The lightening speed of internet and social media makes it even worse.

"I'm sick and tiring of hearing about these myths or half-based truth over and over - from my friends, clients and the media," says Carey Yang, Carey Yang, a certified personal trainer and fitness expert in New Jersey.

Yang is the owner and master personal trainer at Beyond Fitness Solutions, LLC — a leading in-home personal training and weight-loss management company serving and helping clients in Morris County, Sussex County, Passaic County, Essex County and Somerset County areas in New Jersey.

"Each of the following myths have some merit. They become a myth when an unethical fitness professional or expert takes a narrow perspective in order to stir up controversy in an effort to get you to buy their hyped up fat loss program," Yang says. "It’s about time to cut through the chase and set the record straight."

Myth #1: Abs Are Made In The Kitchen

It’s important to watch what you eat and how much you eat in the kitchen. You simply can’t out-train a lousy diet to build muscles, lose fat and sculpt 6 pack abs.

However, I have been many scrawny men or skinny women dieting down to low percent of body fat and still don’t have abs that pop out.

So if you want to develop eye catching abs that really stand out, you still need to train your abs and work them hard in addition to following an effective diet.

Myth #2: Crunches Are Bad For Your Back

Unfortunately most people do the crunches wrong and strain their necks and back. They conclude that crunches are useless and bad for their back.

Performed properly, crunches or curl-ups are effective exercise to directly work on your abdominal muscles. Abs – short for “rectus abdominis” – is designed to flex for spinal flexion movement.

Performing crunching movements with proper form is the best way to fully develop them. Floor crunches, stability ball crunches, cable crunches, and double crunch are all great exercises for developing your abs.

Myth #3: You Can’t Train Your Lower Abs

Some fitness trainers argue that you can’t work your lower abs, because the Rectus Abdominis is one long muscle.  It’s only partially true. Just like any muscle-building exercise, you can put more emphasis on certain part of the muscle by performing the exercise in different angle and range of motion.

The key here is “emphasis” not to complete isolate lower abs.

Hanging Knee Raises, Reverse Crunches, and the Jackknife among several other exercises place extra emphasis on the lower abdominal muscles. Basically any exercise where the movement involves tilting your pelvis up toward your chest, will place extra emphasis on the lower section of your abs.

The word “emphasis” is the key here. With each of the above abs exercises your entire Rectus Abdominis muscle will be working, but you should “feel” more tension and contraction in the lower abs compared to how they “feel” when you are performing other crunching movements.

If you want to sculpt a sexy set of six pack abs while developing a strong core  and look your best, you must follow a strategically designed workout program that includes functional exercises, crunching movements that emphasize the upper and mid section of the Rectus Abdominis, crunching movements that emphasize the lower section of the Rectus Abdominins, and exercises that work the Transverse Abdominals and Obliques.

In a final word, remember, your diet is equally important as your abs training routine.
