The difference between vest line and mermaid line. Misunderstandings about training vest line

A good figure is not just about being thin. A figure with a vest line will be more enviable. What is the difference between the mermaid line and the vest line that boys often practice? What are the mistakes that may be made when practicing a vest line?

1. Abs

The vest line is the highest level of a flat abdomen. The abdomen is free of fat and has muscle lines. The two vertical muscle lines on both sides of the belly button look like a vest, so they are called vest lines.

2. Mermaid line

Mermaid lines are also known as mermaid patterns. Their official scientific name is "internal and external oblique muscles". They refer to the two V-shaped lines on both sides of the male abdomen near the top of the pelvis. Because they resemble the slightly contracted shape of the lower part of a fish, they are called mermaid lines. Leonardo da Vinci first proposed the "mermaid line" as an indicator of "beauty" and "sexiness" in "On Painting".

1. Do abdominal training when body fat is not up to standard, and give up after a period of time without any effect. If body fat is too high and you only do targeted abdominal training, it cannot be said to be ineffective. The effect is that the abdominal muscles will increase, but they are covered by fat. So no matter how many times you do sit-ups or abdominal training, you will not get a vest line. Therefore, if your base weight is too large, focus on fat loss. The method is also very simple (although the process is not easy), which is diet + aerobics to fill the calorie gap.

2. The inertial thinking from physical education classes in elementary school affects actions: people think that to train abdominal muscles, they have to do sit-ups, but they don’t know that during sit-ups, it is not the abdominal muscles that pull the body up, but the iliopsoas muscles in the hips. The role of the abdominal muscles is to keep the upper body in an upright state, so that the upper body can sit up as a whole under the action of the iliopsoas muscles. Although force is used, it does not bear a large load.

The vest line refers to the line formed by the abdominal muscles and the oblique muscles outside the abdomen, where the abdomen has muscle lines but no extra fat. Since the shape of the line is similar to a vest, it is called the vest line. People with vest lines not only look good and sexy, but also show that they are people with perseverance.

1. We first prepare a chair without rollers. The practitioner sits on the front half of the chair, puts his hands on both sides of the chair to maintain the body's balance, keeps his hands and feet together and tightens his abdomen to achieve the effect of exercising the abdomen. The upper body can be slightly tilted backwards. The chair without rollers was chosen in order to avoid injuries.

2. After tightening the abdomen, we put our feet together and bend our knees, raise our feet to about the same height as the chair, and then put them down and lift them up again and again. This is a round of about 10 to 12 times. Take a break, and then do the next round. Practice 3 rounds. Try to use your abdomen as much as possible during the exercise, and keep your back close to yourself to save effort.

3. Also prepare a chair without wheels, sit in the same position, put your feet together, keep the left foot lifted while bending the knee and lifting the right foot, then lift the left foot and straighten the right foot, just like riding a bicycle, alternate back and forth 10 to 12 times as a round, do three rounds, this can also help us train our abdominal muscles.
