Be in shape: Part II

Summer is comming! 

In previous post I've wrote about legs and butocks's exercises but I've not spoken about the waist. Which exercises should I perform? Well, there're a thousands of them bout not all have the same effects in our body. So, I'm going to show you one of the best exercises to work out our waist.

It's name is side bridge, and it has many benefits like:

1. With it we're training at the same time our abdomen (Bhem & cols, 2005) and lumbar square (McGill, 2006).
2. It has low raquis impact (McGill,, 2006).
3. It's a good exercise for beginners.
4. Gluteous is activated as well, preventing that the waist doesn't fall.
5. In adittion, we're training our serratus anterior and latissimus dorsi (scapulo-humeral stabilization).

In the next post we'll talk about the exercise's progression.

For any question, don´t hesítate asking us. We will be glad to help you out with any doubt you have.

Thanks for reading.
