Firm Abs
Sometimes people just wants to have firm abs and a flat stomach instead of having their abdominals well developed or ripped as some people tend to say.
Now, there is nothing wrong with developing your abdominal muscles so they are well developed and built to the maximum sizes they can possibly be.
Of course this varies from person to person with genes also playing a part, but the thing you have to remember is this. It takes just as much work to make your abs firm as it is to try and develop them so they are much more bigger and ripped.
If getting firm abs is still the goal for you then your training routine will be a little different to an abs muscle building routine.
For one thing, you should be aiming your training to have low to medium intensity by performing many more sets or reps. You wouldn’t be using weights to intensify the workout but instead doing normal resistance based training.
You should also be doing more aerobics to burn off fat and get your muscles exposed and toned. Someone with smaller abs will look good compared to those who have bigger abs but also have lots of fat hiding their abs.
A typical routine to firm abs will be training 3 days a week for abs, with the main exercises like crunches, waist twists, side bends, leg raises and vsits. For the rest of the week, you will be doing aerobics exercises like skipping, jogging or swimming.
