The Ab Revolution: No More Crunches! No More Back Pain

Rating:
Summary: Exciting new book is a true revolution in ab fitness.
Review: Forget machines and crunches...they promote poor posture and don't teach you to use your abs the way you need for real life. The Ab Revolution™ is an exciting new training method that will shake up your entire concept of abs and ab training. The Ab Revolution™ revolutionizes your understanding of what abdominal muscles do (and don't do), and shows you how to transfer fitness and muscular use to daily life not just exercises in a gym. It thoroughly covers the most frequently asked (and misunderstood) aspects of developing ab and core strength for exercise, posture control, and back pain prevention, and teaches how to use your abs and back at the same time for normal daily activities while standing up, from the simplest daily life activities to the most advanced and challenging maneuvers.

Written by award winning scientist Dr. Jolie Bookspan, The Ab Revolution™ is profusely illustrated and jam-packed with new and different exercises and step by step instructions in an easy-to-read format.

Learn this revolution in fitness, used by SEAL team and law enforcement, and the nation's top spine docs.

Summary: Good information.
Review: When I received this book in the mail, I wondered why such a thin book was so expensive. It took several re-readings before I got the main point of the book, which was actually so simple that it was no wonder I missed it the first time. Except for the isometric exercise, most of the other exercises outlined in the book are just too difficult for me, and I don't think I am in such bad shape for my age (45 yr. old female). I also think it would have been a lot better if each exercise had it's own picture or picture series, because it was a bit cumbersome to READ all the explanations of how to do everything. Lots of good information on what works, why, and what doesn't and why. I think this author knows what she is talking about, and I am sure that if I met her in person I would like her because she is so sensible in her approach, but a good book editor could have helped to put it all together in a more readable fashion. This book is worth the read and the effort to extract the important message this author is promoting.
