Women are often looking for ways to flatten their midline and build core strength but often times fail to take into account that replacing belly fat with muscle through abdominal workouts takes an extensive amount of commitment. The society we live in today makes it very difficult to perceive our own body image in a positive light, which in turn can have a negative impact on how we treat our bodies and care for our health. Typically, we look for a quick fix, but this will not give us the long-lasting, sustainable results we desire. In all actuality, there are usually two approaches that women commonly take when we do not feel comfortable in their own skin, we beat ourselves up or neglect the issue altogether. Neither approach is healthy or beneficial for personal growth both physically and mentally, yet escaping this toxic mindset reinforced by societal pressures is easier said than done.

It is only when you choose to accept your body just as it is in the present moment that you can begin to nurture yourself and establish healthier habits for long-term transformation. For example, we can do countless sit-ups, yet become frustrated and feel defeated when we do not see any immediate results. The problem with this scenario is that too often we give up and again put our health and ourselves and on the backburner. Instead of feeling discouraged, women should seek to inform themselves on how to properly perform fitness exercises. If you truly seek results, it is crucial you learn to focus on what your body is and is not capable of doing and how you can execute movements correctly to target and challenge your muscles in the right way. For instance, there are many ways to develop a strong core other than sits ups, which often times are executed improperly to begin with.

It is typical for women to experience core issues due to pregnancy, breast weight, and even wearing high heels for extended periods of time. All of these circumstances add pressure to certain areas in the body that cause the core to weaken further, and in turn cause pain and poor posture over time. The resistance bands work to fix these core issues by keeping the legs, hips, and midsection inline at all times, to give you proper form and technique while executing workouts. As you use the Myosource Kinetic Bands you will quickly and safely develop a powerful core, to aid in the stabilization of your spine and initiate realignment for improved posture. As your core becomes stronger, you will be more able to actively keep your weight centered and your shoulders and neck from slouching forward. This will create better balance, reducing both back pain and the risk of injury in the muscles, tendons and ligaments, preventing further body alignment issues. The resistance bands not only increase muscle development but also elevate the heart rate, allowing more calories and fat to be burned during each workout session. It is easy for women to confuse being skinny with being toned and firm. While dieting can help lose fat, it can also lead to loss of muscle due to the absence of exercise. When you maintain a proper diet and complete regular fat burning workouts, your abdominal muscles will respond.
The following abdominal exercises should be performed 2-3 times a week, along with other resistance cardio and fat burning exercises. Wear the resistance bands just above the knees as you perform the following exercises and be sure to tighten the entire body while performing these abdominal exercises for maximum results. Remember to be patient with yourself and the process of transformation.
