What are AB straps?
AB straps are pieces of exercise equipment that someone can use if they are interested in exercising abdominal muscles. AB straps come in different materials, but usually it is a nylon or nylon material formed in the shape of a loop, with sufficient space to keep the entire arm. They come in pairs, one for each arm. Metal clips are connected to the material, so AB straps can be connected to a power stand or any horizontal rod to which metal clips can be securely connected.
Increasing the hanging legs is the main use of AB straps. To start this exercise, you need to put your hands in the AB straps so that the bottom of the strap is around the elbow. After he made his hands over the straps, the practitioner must lead the forearm to the right angle as if he were going to bend the muscles of the biceps. If the horizontal bar above the head of a person is also, boxes or some reliable and stationary May is used so that when the legs are perfectly down, they have something they're resting for.
legs can be done in two basic ways. The first way is to bring legs that are not bent on the knee, forward, so that the body of the person creates a right angle or as close as possible at right angles. Once the legs are as far up as they can be without bending on the knee, they can slowly bring back to their original position, so the body is perfectly straight. The second form of basic leg elevators is very similar. When the body is perfectly straight and suspended from the straps, one brings his knees to his chest, as if making a cannon ball from a diving plate. When performing this type of legs, it is important to keep the legs pointing down when the thighs are raised towards the chest.
When exercising with AB straps or any other abdominal exercise, it is important to keep the abdominal muscles during the exercise bent to maximize the efforts made by the abdominal muscles. IsAlso important that the legs do not throw back to their original position during the "negative" part of the elevator, but slowly reduce them while maintaining the abdominal muscles to re -get the maximum effect of the elevator.
