The main objectives of drill press
Set of exercises for the press pursue progressively two main objectives:
- burning subcutaneous fat in the abdomen;
- the formation of relief "cubes press."
The first stage of training - this is the burning of fat, and laying the foundations of solid muscle. You must be aware that in the field of muscle tone in any untrained person belly - the weakest place. Although physical inactivity - the scourge of our times, and from the whole body suffers, all the muscles in the arms, legs, back, shoulders, a man in everyday life gives at least some work. On the abdominal muscles are not. So they got a load, "earned", requires special training.

Formation muscle relief is only possible after the first stage.

Unfortunately, many cease to exercise after getting rid of the fat folds on the stomach to give the illusion of a flat solid muscle. It is not advisable, since the tone quickly lost, and the fat begins to be delayed again. To keep in shape and achieve even more impressive results, it is necessary to continue training.
The second stage - the formation of "cubes". "Cubes press" - a trained rectus abdominis, which is symmetrically divided into six - eight segments. Under the influence of exercise, these segments are raised and, indeed, look like cubes.

are variations on the classic "twists."
"Twist". Exercise is carried out after the warm-up. Starting position - lying on the floor on his back. Legs bent at the knees, feet flat on the floor.

"Double twisting" - a very effective exercise, which affects both the upper and the lower press. The starting position is the same as the conventional "twisting", feet flat on the floor, bent at an angle of forty-five degrees. It should slowly raise the legs and shoulders at the same time, trying to reach the chin to the knees. Loin of time the exercise is held tightly to the floor and elbows - divorced in hand. The starting position should be back just as slowly. It should do three sets of eight - ten repetitions.

Exercises for the obliques
Obliques form a thin and flexible waist. Very effective for them to use a gymnastic hoop workout, which is also called a "hula-hoop".
