SPINNING

STOMACH YOU CAN'T STOMACH
Once you do reduce excess body weight around the middle, you may want to provide definition to your midsection. Those famous "cut" lines that reveal the abdominal muscles in sections as opposed to just a shapeless bulging mass. Beyond vanity, though, there are some good reasons to develop your abdominal muscles. One is to build strength. Muscles in your abs are responsible for maintaining your posture. What's more, the midsection is considered by many, particularly within the martial arts tradition, to be the center of all strength. That means overall body conditioning is centered around the midsection so you wouldn't want to ignore that important muscle group in your journey toward overall fitness.

SWIMMING
