Why the abdomen protrudes even at a low body weight

Reducing waist circumference and restoring body contours depends largely on the strength of the deep core muscles. As these stabilizers weaken—often due to age or sedentary lifestyles—they stop supporting internal organs, which causes the abdomen to protrude and visually widens the silhouette regardless of overall body weight. A targeted core training program addresses this by strengthening internal stabilizers and reducing excessive load on the lumbar spine. According to source data, consistent practice can lead to observable improvements in posture within two weeks. Artem Kiselev, personal fitness trainer: "Many mistakenly believe that the stomach will disappear if they do hundreds of repetitions of abdominal crunches. In reality, it is more important to learn how to feel the muscles and keep them under tension throughout the entire set."
