Why is the stomach big and protruding when relaxing, but it is still flat and has abdominal muscles when abdomen is closed?
Because the abdominal muscles are relaxed and in a slightly elongated state after relaxation, it is normal for the stomach to protrude forward, but this is not a small belly, but a slightly elongated state after the abdominal muscles are relaxed, and the position of the internal organs is relatively downward and outward. The relaxation of abdominal muscles will make you relax, even for people with low body fat (below 7%).

For most people who are not so low in body fat, abdominal muscles are between faint and clearly visible. So the fat in the lower abdomen must exist, so when you relax, your stomach will inevitably become more prominent (because you have added a layer of fat). No matter how you tuck in, you can't see the abdominal muscles.

Almost everyone will have a part of their stomach protruding when they relax. Including the fitness athletes and models you usually see! In fact, they have been covering their stomachs during competitions or catwalks, but it has become their habit to cover their stomachs.

How to make the stomach not protrude so much?

1, if the body fat is very low (the thickness of abdominal fat is below 1.5cm), if you already have abdominal muscles, you should pay more attention to the abdomen and get used to it gradually, so that you can keep the state of abdominal muscles for a long time and it will not be hard. Just do the abdomen as shown below.

2. If the body fat is high, the belly is full of fat, and the belly bulge is certain. Losing weight can reduce the fat on the stomach and make the stomach less prominent when relaxing, because the fat is reduced.

3. If the pelvis leans forward, the protruding degree of the stomach will be reduced in the relaxed state after correction, which is also well understood. The specific method is to strengthen the muscles of buttocks and abdomen, and inhibit tensor fascia lata and gluteal flexor. Those who have written articles before will not go into details.

As long as a person is in a relaxed state, his abdomen will definitely protrude. This is not just your problem, but everyone's problem. There is no need to let this problem bother you and affect your long-term fitness mood.
