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 .
