Are abdominal muscle trainers useful?

Nowadays, men all hope to have beautiful abdominal muscles, and even many girls have such a wish. If you want to train your abdominal muscles, you must make a detailed exercise plan. While insisting on exercise, you must also adjust your diet. It is worth mentioning that there are special abdominal muscle trainers on the market now. So, is this kind of trainer helpful for training abdominal muscles?

Are abdominal muscle trainers useful?

I believe that many friends who train their abdominal muscles should have the same problem as this friend. Here we break this problem down into three small questions, as follows:

1. Why do I feel sore in my abdomen when I first do 8 minutes of abdominal muscle training?

2. Why don’t I have abdominal soreness after doing several 8-minute abdominal muscle exercises?

3. Is it useful to do 8 minutes of abdominal muscle training every day?

The first question: Why does my abdomen feel sore when I first do 8 minutes of abdominal muscle training?

This situation is caused by the fact that a large amount of lactic acid is produced in the abdominal muscles during abdominal muscle training. Generally, this soreness will appear on the second or third day. Many friends who do 8-minute abdominal exercises mistakenly believe that soreness is caused by torn abdominal muscle fibers.

In fact, this soreness can be understood as the fact that the practitioner has not done much exercise for a long time, which has caused the muscles to be in a dormant state. Once you do a little exercise, your muscles will be reactivated and a large amount of lactic acid will be released. These are all normal phenomena and will generally disappear in about 5 days if you stop exercising, and in about 3 days if you continue exercising.

Second question: Why don’t I have abdominal soreness after doing several 8-minute abdominal muscle exercises?

This situation can be understood as that after a certain number of 8-minute abdominal muscle training, the abdominal muscles have adapted to the current exercise intensity, and the practitioner's exercise level has improved, which will reduce the lactic acid released after each training, thereby reducing the practitioner's soreness or even eliminating it.

The third question: Is it useful to do 8 minutes of abdominal muscle training every day?

Doing 8 minutes of abdominal muscle training every day is definitely helpful for developing 6 or 8 abdominal muscles, but if you want to develop abdominal muscles faster and more effectively. It is recommended to change the exercise movements and intensity when training your abdominal muscles every day.

To increase the intensity of abdominal exercises:

If you previously did 15 reps of each exercise in an 8-minute abdominal muscle training, when your training level improves, you can do 20 reps of each exercise in a set.

Change your abdominal exercises:

If you have been doing exercises such as leg raises or sit-ups to train your abdominal muscles before, then after using these exercises for a period of time. You can choose to do plank or lie-down raises. In short, abdominal muscle training requires constantly changing movements, so that the training effect will be better.
