Infos

YOUR BEST ABS is revolutionary in its approach, but the research behind its benefits has been around for years. The premise is simple: Train the abs as they are designed to work, not by doing crunches and sit-ups, but by properly bracing the core using core isometrics. The purpose of the abs is to resist spinal extension-to brace and hold, not to push and pull. Your Best Abs provides a way to sculpt the abs without damaging the lower back or any other part of the body. This holistic approach includes warm-ups, cool-downs, stretching, strengthening, power training, and a nutrition plan designed to deliver maximum results. Whether performing upper- or lower-body moves, using core isometrics to stabilize the core is the deciding factor for performance enhancement. The research-based, martial-arts inspired strategies help to train the abs from the inside-out, enhancing neutral spine alignment, strengthening postural muscles, and improving athletic performance. Your Best Abs is a revolutionary way to a smaller waistline and stronger core; it will change the way you train your abdominals at home and at the gym.
