Six Pack Abs are in vogue now….ain’t so? But it is also true that choosing the right exercise equipments for this purpose is quite difficult. Few years back when there were not so many options, it was quite easy to choose the one out of all exercise equipments. But nowadays there are so many exercise gears available that making the right decision is not so easy today.
If you have decided your fitness goals then it is quite easy to understand which machine is the best one for you in attaining the goals. Let’s have a look on all of these exercise machines.
There was a time when proper exercise machines were not invented for every posture and muscle. Even during that time people understood the importance of warm-up exercises and for this purpose people used to do sit-ups. Sit-ups are proven to strengthen lower back muscles but if they are not performed properly it can cause strain on back muscles which lead to further back problems.
Then there came a time when gym got hype and several exercise machines were designed for gyms to shape and tone up specific body areas. These machines were designed to use under trainers’ instructions and integrated together for all-body workout. Several difficulty levels can be set over them to enhance the endurance and ability to workout better than yesterdays. Only one disadvantage made them unsuitable for homes and that is their shapes and bulky weights are not good for home usage.
Next concept that emerged was to balance out the weight for overweight people. From balancing out the abdominal muscles, the concept for six pack abs was emerged. First light weight abdominal machine was made that is folding, portable, elastic and having springs to mimic the action of sit-ups and advanced concept of integrated machines to balance out whole body muscles. Certain difficulty levels were added in to enhance the workability of machines and enhance the development of abdominal muscles.
More improvements were done to ab machines, they were continuously improved to work for the ab muscles while minimizing the strain on back. Eventually we have come up with what we call as ab rollers and rubber balls. These equipments are safer and more effective than previous abs exercise equipments. This is not the end, more and more equipment are being introduced to give a sure shot way of getting six pack abs.
