The Reason Your Abdominal Workouts Stop Working...
Did you know that your body can adapt to an exercise program in as few
as 4-5 workouts or less?
It's true - it's a scientific fact.
What exactly does this mean? Well, it's quite simple:
You develop muscle and strength (abs included) as an adaptive response
to a specific stimulus (a workout or exercise routine).
You "ask" your body to perform a certain exercise or workload, and if
it hasn't been asked to perform this type of work before, your body
says to itself, "what the heck is this??? We've never had to do THIS
before. We'd better prepare ourselves for the next time this happens
by adapting and getting stronger and adding some more muscle."
And that, in a nutshell, is how muscles develop: Specific Adaptation
to Imposed Demands (also known as the S.A.I.D. Principle)Once the
adaptation has taken place, your body is prepared to handle it the
next time. And so if you repeat that same exercise again, in the same
volume and intensity, since you have already adapted... guess what...
NO FURTHER MUSCLE DEVELOPMENT TAKES PLACE!
