The dream of flaunting a flat stomach, and therefore a slim waistline with defined abs, plays an
important role in the beauty equation for anyone who has ever crossed the threshold of a fitness
center. Women and men, alike, have always been in search of the best diet and most effective
exercises to slim and sculpt their abs.
To have a flat stomach, it must be said, there are no miraculous methods, but it’s enough to follow
some simple and effective rules. After all, a lean waistline isn’t that difficult to achieve if you know
how to do it.
The basic rules for a flat stomach and slim waistline
The road to a flat stomach begins with a healthy lifestyle, where controlled nutrition and adequate
rest are the fundamental ingredients, and ends in the gym, with the right training, accompanied by
the necessary recovery between each workout session. Four simple rules, therefore, that together
have the power to sculpt the waistline and make it more attractive than ever. However, you need
to be very careful: while lifestyle is under your direct responsibility, it’s impossible to have a flat
stomach without direct and, above all, adequate training of the abdominal muscles.
The question arises spontaneously: how to navigate through a thousand exercises and choose
those that are truly effective in finally achieving the flat stomach you have always desired? To find
out, you absolutely must continue reading.
Flat stomach: what is the best training method?
There are various methods to train the abs, but for noteworthy results, the three keywords are:
• Alternating
• Sequential
• Progressive.
Do they seem like meaningless words? At first glance, perhaps, but fear not. The most effective
training to achieve a flat stomach must meet these three distinct requirements, and today, the
only system capable of satisfying them all in the same training session is ABSolute by TECA.
It’s an exclusive corner for training the abs, thanks to six different stations that allow you to
perform numerous exercises with a scientific method based on the indications of ACE (American
Council on Exercise) and ISSA (International Sports Science Association), two of the most
prestigious sports authorities worldwide.
ABSolute: flat stomach with the first scientific system for core training
A flat stomach is not just pleasing to the eye. On the contrary, when it comes to abs, aesthetics
and functionality go hand in hand.
Although the abdomen is indirectly involved in many multi-joint exercises, direct training with
movements that simulate their functions is necessary to achieve the wow effect.
The abdominal muscles must, in fact:
• flex, extend, and rotate the trunk
• move at different speeds
• create movement, and therefore mobility, while at the same time preventing movement and
stabilizing.
It is evident how strengthening them is essential not only to have a slender waist but also to
maintain good posture, reduce back pain, prevent injuries, and improve athletic performance.
The ideal method for training them, it must be specified, must meet all these requirements, and
today, the most complete and effective is only one: ABSolute.
The system developed by Teca is composed of six stations that together allow more than 60
different exercises to simulate all the functions of the abs. ABSolute, it is important to emphasize,
involves all the abdominal muscles and actively and constantly stimulates them.
The exercises with ABSolute are perfectly integrated and focused on the core, for immediate
results that, in addition to sculpting the belly, help to lower the risk of injuries during various daily
activities or while training intensely.
Flat belly: the ideal training is sequential, alternating, progressive
As suggested by ACE and ISSA, when it comes to tightening the waistline, the watchwords are
three: sequential, alternating, progressive. Let’s discover together their meaning and why
ABSOLUTE is the only system that can give you a flat belly in an easy, safe and above all effective
way.
Sequential
Circuit training on consecutive stations, like the one that can be done with ABSOLUTE, combines
the benefits of aerobic and anaerobic training, allowing you to tone, lose weight, and train
cardiovascular endurance at the same time. With a high energy expenditure, sculpting the belly
becomes much easier.
Yet when it comes to abs, the benefits of sequential training don’t end there. The stations in
ABSOLUTE have the great advantage of exercise versatility as well.
In this way, it is possible to stimulate the abdominal muscles from different angles. The more
varied the exercise, the greater the possible stimulus to improve the aesthetics of the waistline.
• Alternating
Among the various training methods, alternating training, which involves high-intensity phases
interspersed with brief recoveries, has a significant metabolic impact. In other words, it allows you
to burn a high number of calories in a short time, an essential condition if the goal is to have a flat
belly.
With ABSOLUTE, in fact, it is possible to alternate muscle work with both short recoveries and
aerobic intervals, and in this way, based on the intensity of cardiovascular effort, achieve a truly
high energy consumption.
• Progressive
To sculpt the waistline, training must be based on progression, not so much for the duration, but
for the intensity of the exercises. An essential condition that ABSOLUTE can fully satisfy.
Each of the six stations is very versatile and, thanks to the supplied accessories, the various grips,
and the height and incline adjustments, allows a large number of exercises of increasing intensity
to be performed.
