Let's begin with a muscle group that most ignore - the transverse abdominous. Although this is an internal muscle and is not visible, it has high importance in torso mobility. You can work this muscle by developing a good breathing technique while doing other exercises. Simply allow air to fill your lungs and thoracic area and then exhale. Not only will this help strengthen the transversal abdominal muscle but it will also give you more energy for the other exercises.
Crunches are among the best exercises, since they involve a large array of muscles, both abdominal and lower back ones. Try a vertical leg crunch at first: do your abdominal crunches while holding your legs pointing upwards. By curling your torso up and reaching with your hands towards the tips of your toes, you give your abs an excellent workout. Repeating this motion several times is difficult and you will need to practice the exercise for a while before you feel like you are beginning to master it. Another option would be to do the regular crunches in a very strict manner: hold your back stuck to the ground and contract your muscles as you do the crunch. There is a huge difference between simply performing the crunch motion like a robot would and actually getting involved in each individual crunch by contracting the ab muscles each and every time.
Exercising is difficult, but patience goes a long way. Do not
expect overnight results, or you will quickly get discouraged and fall back into apathy. One of the hardest things about doing ab exercises is that you run short of breath. Loosing breath tires the body instantly, and, basically, the intensity and positive effects of your workout depend a lot on the way you breathe.
Yoga is probably the best answer to breathing techniques. You don't have to follow a strict yoga path in order to get positive results: just try a few of the asanas - special yoga techniques and poses - and see what that does to your breathing. Deep breathing can get more oxygen in your blood system, thus allowing you to workout more intensely and for a longer period, without losing breath or getting very tired.
Getting those love handles off and developing a nice, firm abdominal area is the quest of many, women and men alike. However, the biggest problem that comes into play with physical exercises is that they take a long time to produce results and they are difficult to perform. Because of these two obstacles, many begin their training program only to drop it after a week or a month, justifying their decision on lack of results or increased difficulty. As with most physical changes, taking fat of and developing muscles takes time, and there is no shortcut to doing it. Your best allies are perseverance and maybe a friend who will inspire you with his or her determination to stick with the exercise program.
