Fitness trainer called the main mistakes when working on the muscles of the press

Master of Sports in sports acrobatics and fitness trainer Yana Nikonenko, in an interview with a Lenta.ru correspondent, spoke about the main mistakes that people make while working on the abdominal muscles.

The main mistake she made was an attempt during the exercise to contract the abdominal muscles while inhaling, you must definitely do this while exhaling. “The second mistake is that during chest flexions, the lower back often dangles in a person. We always try to stabilize the center, the lumbar should not wobble. The third mistake is an attempt to inflate the stomach during muscle contraction, it must be set aside more or less flat so that the deep abdominal muscles hold the abdominal pressure, ”said Nikonenko.

The fitness trainer also urged not to chase beautiful “cubes” on the stomach. “You don’t have these ‘cubes’, well, don’t! After all, something completely different is important: a healthy body, good muscle tone. It is the tone, and not the hypertonicity that we often see in bodybuilders. Their muscles are often tense, overworked, but they do not perform their function, ”the specialist noted.

Earlier, fitness trainer Ekaterina Karina spoke about the dangers of exercising at home. She recommended at least once to go to the gym and work out with a personal trainer.
