Oh one more thing, if you're a guy looking to get ripped 6-pack abs or a woman looking to get a lean toned stomach, I just put together a killer workout called the "Dirty Dozen" ab workout. Click here to get your free PDF copy..
Onto the article...You know, I’m not going to lie to you.
Shaping and sculpting your abs into the ideal 6-pack is probably one of the hardest things you can do.
And it doesn’t help that this difficulty increases as you age.
Believe me, I would know because I’ve experienced it first-hand.
I remember when I was in high school and not to brag or anything, but I had a pretty flat stomach.
Now mind you, I wasn’t overly muscular when I was in high school.
I was just lean enough to not have any noticeable fat on my body and that was honestly good enough for me.
But high school, just like all things in life, came to an end.
Then I started college and soon I found my fitness routine being thrown to the wayside.
More specifically, my once-flat stomach wasn’t looking so flat anymore.
I could chalk it up to the newfound freedom I had once I started college, my class schedule, and my poor eating habits.
But it ultimately came down to one thing: neglect.
My abs had turned to flab.
I knew I had to do something. I knew I couldn’t continue letting myself go the way I did.
So I started exercising again and focused heavily on burning the fat that surrounded my stomach.
And that brings me to today’s exercise, the isometric bridge.
This exercise helped me tremendously and I saw results within weeks.
According to Verywell Fit, the isometric bridge can help increase overall strength, improve our posture, and ease lower back pain.
But if you want a little information on how effective this exercise is, then keep reading.
So without further ado, let’s get into how to perform this simple yet highly effective exercise.
How to Perform the Isometric Bridge Exercise
Lie down on your back on the floor.
Flex your knees, keep your hands on the sides, and feet and palms flat on the ground.
Support your body on your feet on and palms and gently thrust your hip upwards.
Hold this position for 10 seconds before lowering your body back to the starting position.
