Product Description

Product Description

Anyone who works out knows that abdominal exercises have progressed light-years beyond the basic sit-up. In fact, a whole new generation of ab exercises and machines have advanced abdominal workouts to new levels of sophistication, designed for maximum efficiency to provide the trim, toned midsection that everyone wants. But how do you put the exercises together into a routine for your specific physique and needs? The Complete Book of Abs shows you how.

¸  The first ab book for everyone--from beginners to fitness professionals

¸  More than one hundred ab exercises--from traditional crunches and sit-ups to such cutting-edge techniques as corkscrews and hanging knee raises--drawn from diverse sources, including gymnastics, yoga, and the martial arts

¸  Includes the "Fifteen Minutes a Day to Ultimate Abs" system, which will take you from an undeveloped stomach to a rippled washboard look in six months

¸  Dozens of favorite and new routines from America's foremost coaches, trainers, and bodybuilders

¸  How to be your own personal trainer and put together your own routines

¸  The most up-to-date information on diet and nutrition, including a personal
template to maximize diet-exercise efficiency

Already a fitness classic, The Complete Book of Abs, is the definitive guide for abdominal toning and strengthening. No one who's serious about working out should be without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Working!, 31 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Book of Abs (Paperback)
A friend and I have been following the program outlined by Brungardt for almost 3 months now and it's producing results. The photographic illustrations are nearly perfect, leaving little room for failure to comprehend exactly what is required to develop your abs. The current edition is definitely an improvement on the original edition, thanks to a more updated layout and the inclusion of some of the newly-popular abdominal rolling devices. If you are out to develop your abs, I have never seen a better book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic range of exercises for all levels of fitness, 4 April 2003
This review is from: Complete Book of Abs (Paperback)
If you follow the advice and plans contained within this book, you will get strong, visible abs, guaranteed (unless they are hidden by a layer of fat).
A huge range of exercises for all levels of fitness are contained within this well designed and high quality paperback The instructions for every exercise are well written and easy to understand. Pictures (although black and white) are clear and compliment the instructions as a useful visual guide to each exercise.

It is worth noting that although this book focuses on the abs, it also contains good general advice on fitness and strength, as well as how to lead a healthy lifestyle and how to get the maximum benefit from each exercise by training the muscles as hard as possible. Specific advice is included on strengthening the lower back, which together with the abs creates the body's 'core' strength area.

All in all, an essential fitness text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sound advice and good exercises, 27 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Book of Abs (Paperback)
I felt obliged to write a review because this book is well written. The exercises are well explained, there are for all levels and most of them do not require any equipment. In addition there is advice on diet, wellness as well as a basic program on strengthening. 5 out of 5.
