6-pack is not just for looking good issue# 9

Apart from the definite, the physical appearance and look of 6-pack, abs are one of the top reasons people try to build them.  Physical look is just the tip of all benefits of having a 6-pack.  There is more to a strong and toned mid-section than just having that coveted look

Research shows that individuals who regularly engage in exercises and abs routines and observe a fit body more often than not live longer than people who are obese and do not engage in exercise programs. The latter is also more prone to acquire certain maladies, such as cardiovascular diseases and even depression. Recent studies show that those with oversized stomachs have difficulty in sustaining sleep, due to disfunctional stomach issues. Abs routines ward off such issues and to keep your stomach in good shape. A well-exercised stomach also makes for more efficient digestion, resulting to a healthy body, better metabolic rate, and increased energy levels.

Individuals involved in other sports activities then having a 6-pack can be very beneficial.  The abdominal area, also called the core, is the powerhouse for the body.  It is responsible for many different functions, including helping the back muscles and protecting the inner organs.  These muscles are in the center of the body and therefore help a person do everything from sitting to running to bending.  Having a nice, toned 6-pack will cross over to helping a person feel better and healthy overall.  If they are involved in sports activities they will most likely find that they run faster, feel more flexible and perform better than when they didn’t have toned abs.

Better self-esteem is related with people who are happy with their fit bodies. They appear great and feel good. They are also more assured with how their body looks, specially when summer comes when they are prepared to display the ripped abs that they worked so hard for. But Then, those who do not look & feel good about themselves present lower self-esteem, and researches show that this can lead to a several social problems, such as substance abuse, violence, suicidal tendencies, and even teenage pregnancies.

In addition to helping the rest of the body feel stronger, a toned 6-pack area will help prevent injury.  Having these muscles in shape will go along way towards preventing back injuries since these muscles aid the back muscles in supporting the spinal area. A person with any type of back injury will find that after thy get their abdominal area in shape that they will start to feel an improvement in their back as well.

If a person’s sole reason for building a 6-pack is only for the looks then they are going to be quite surprised to find the additional benefits their efforts offers.
