Six Pack Abs on a Unicycle
|
Posted by Helen Smeaton Feb 10, 2009 |
There are countless ways to workout those abs. Maybe it’s the hard graft down the gym, strenuous yoga sessions or one of those magic pills advertised online.
Keen cyclists know the benefits of a regular cycling workout on the stomach muscles but have you ever thought of taking it one step further?
Unicycling may sound silly (yes it is) and impossible (for many yes it is) not to mention downright dangerous (yes yes it can be) but for those keen to persevere and spend 10-15 hours actually learning to ride a unicycle, the benefits are huge.
- Your balance and concentration will improve tenfold.
- You will feel like superman or superwoman and can impress your mates.
- You can take up Muni-ing (that’s off road unicycling not flashing your private bits in case you weren’t sure) and seriously embarrass your mountain biking buddies by beating them round corners.
- You can have great six pack abs.
Yes really those stomach muscles will get super tight as to stay on a unicycle you need strength in the central core muscles. Going off road or uphill is even harder and requires incredible power. Within weeks, the inches will be dropping off and your abs will be tighter than Sylvester Stallone’s.
