Exercise Features “Frog” Press
The frog – like any other exercise on the press, uses all the abdominal muscles at once. The greatest load is obtained by a straight muscle. With good development, it is the segments of this muscle, separated by tendon bridges, form cubes. In men, cubes are seen more strongly due to a lower amount of subcutaneous fat. Women are more difficult to draw a relief, however, if desired, nothing is impossible. However, many girls have a flat stomach and a slender figure is much more important than the relief musculature.

In addition to the direct abdominal muscle with “frog” pulls or more correctly – twists, internal and external oblique muscles are involved. If you want to give these muscles a big load, you should do the exercise with turning the body from side to side.
