• Abs The best exercise to lose belly and why we do it wrong

Retouching, 'photoshop' and other tricks aside, it must be recognized that Jennifer Aniston enjoys an

admirable physical condition

at 52 years old (which is not the same as this great for the 52 years she is, that it is time for us to change speech).

What's more, she confesses herself that she is in better shape than ever. Well, beyond a healthy diet (with intermittent fasting included) and a well-planned training, the actress has just revealed that her secret to enjoying (enjoying because having it is a guarantee of health for the body) of a steel abdomen is

make series of plates of ... 10 minutes each

!

In an attempt to downplay her feat, Aniston assures that it

does not take too much effort

and that it is all thanks to

her boxing coach, Leyon Azubuike,

who was the one who gradually started her in the exciting world of isometrics. Almost realizing, the protagonist of 'Friends' went from holding a minute in the position (not comfortable and quite technically demanding) to throwing three. And, thus, up to 10. The key, according to her, is to

think about something else

or talk with her 'coach'.

Although they are light years away from the

8 hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds with

which George Hood, a 63-year-old former marine, achieved the

Guinness Record in the category of 'Longest Male Abdominal Plank'

in 2020, which is clear is that those 10 minutes on the plate of Jennifer Aniston are still a heroism in the eyes of mere mortals who barely endure a minute.

AN UNNECESSARY EXCESS

The question is: really, is

there a need to put up with so much

? Isaac García, manager of the fitness & health area at Puente Romano Resort (Marbella) and founder of IG Deporte y Salud (Écija, Seville), explains that not only is it not necessary but it

can also be harmful

. "To obtain all the benefits that this type of exercise brings us without harming ourselves, it is essential to

take

maximum

care of the technique

and this is only achieved by maintaining a

correct posture

at all times. Of course, you can spend 10 minutes on the plank but it surprises me much that we are able to do it while maintaining the

necessary abdominal contraction

or without our

pelvis drooping

(with which we would force our lumbar area) ".

So what would be the most suitable time?

"Recent research indicates that the indicated thing would be to perform five series, with

30 seconds of activation and, between 25 and 30 seconds, of rest

. In fact, this is the maximum that most of the people I train endure," he concludes .
