The right types of exercises will help you decrease body fat and increase or maintain muscle mass. That's how funny a potbelly isn't. Despite the comic relief afforded by the tummies of some very successful comedians, a loose abdomen is no laughing matter. Because a weak abdomen can interfere with the proper functioning of the organs inside it. Apart from facilitating movements of the trunk and legs, the stomach muscles provide support and protection for the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and of course the stomach.
Digestive disorders can result, as can back problems.
Sitting gives stomach muscles little to do, and so they weaken. And because sitting also gives the rest of our bodies little to do, we fatten. And less movement means fewer calories are burned. The force behind the evolution of a potbelly, as you can see, is not one to be taken lightly. You don't have to be overweight in order to suffer from abdominal prolapse.
