Best Aqua Exercises for Obliques

7/22/2018

Side fat can be very stubborn and hard to get rid of. The reason I used the word stubborn is because that is exactly what it is, at least for men. When we exercise, our bodies don't release fat equally from all areas. For men, the area where fat is released slowly is the lower/side abs, for women it is the hips/pelvic. That makes losing fat from those areas more difficult.

Performing exercises, aerobically and anaerobically, that target your oblique can significantly help in that direction.

Toning Your Abs in the Pool

Working out in the pool is probably the best method out there to effectively and safely lose belly fat and build six pack. But that doesn't mean its an easy walk. Still, working your core muscles in a safe buoyant environment with your body supported from all sides is far better than doing it on a dry land.

Don't expect fast results though. There is no magical formula here. The area around our belly is considered a major fat storage place, especially for men. This puts a lot of challenge on your task. In order to keep up with your body's continuous storing of fat you will have to exercise on a regular basis and cut down on fatty food.

Coordination (or motor coordination) is the ability to perform a well timed action with different body parts and muscle groups. A well coordinated movement requires good balance, agility and rhythm.

Unlike what some might believe, coordination is something you can improve and not just something you are born with. By practicing certain coordination exercises you will notice that you are getting better at doing them. You will also notice an improvement in your overall movement as you perform daily tasks.
