Why does my belly bulge when I train my abdominal muscles?

With the improvement of people's health awareness, many people have a hobby of exercising, especially young people. Many people shape themselves through exercise to make themselves look more beautiful. Some people practice abdominal muscles when they exercise. Some people practice abdominal muscles for a period of time, not only do they not have a bulging abdomen, but they don't even have a single abdominal muscle. So why does practicing abdominal muscles cause a bulging abdomen?

Why does my belly bulge when I train my abdominal muscles?

1. There is something wrong with your training movements. You may be using the same movement to train your abdominal muscles for a long time, so your abdomen will be concave in the middle, making it appear flat. The main reason here is that your rectus femoris has been well trained, but your transverse abdominal muscle has not been well trained, so it feels like it is broken in the middle.

The transverse abdominal muscle, as the name suggests, is a horizontal abdominal muscle. It is the muscle below the rectus abdominis, and the muscle fibers grow horizontally. If it is not strong enough, your abdomen will look very flat. To develop it, you need to do more plank exercises.

2. Your body fat percentage has decreased. During long-term training, your fat will decrease significantly, whether it is subcutaneous fat or visceral fat. In this way, your originally round belly will suddenly lack fat filling, and it will look very flat.

But your skin will look very loose, so you need to continue doing aerobic and muscle-building training to adjust it, make your skin tighter, and let the muscles under the skin grow and fill it in, so that it will look very pleasing to the eye.

3. Another problem is that the fat reduction is not thorough enough, because the fat on both sides of the waist is the most difficult to reduce. Although your belly has gotten smaller, you still have a lot of fat on both sides of your waist, so your belly looks very flat, without any three-dimensional sense. When you continue to do aerobic exercise, the fat on both sides of your waist will go down, your waist circumference will really improve, and then your abdomen will look much more three-dimensional.

4. Then, your body may be lacking in water. When you control your diet for a long time, you may be dehydrated, especially in your abdomen. This means you need to drink more water to replenish your body so that there is a normal water circulation, and also maintain good rest habits. Rest and weight loss are definitely related.

If you don't sleep well and rest well, don't even think about losing weight, you may even rebound. Some hormones are secreted at night. Don't think this is a scam. If you don't believe it, you can try it. Especially if you can't help but eat a few bites very late, all your efforts will be wasted.
