Format:Paperback
This book is a must for anyone serious about their abs, whatever their fitness level. It is clear and to the point on the subject. I have liked very much the the explanations on why certain abs exercises place undue stress on the lower back, and the importance of progression, acquiring strength in the abs before tackling taking on more challenging excercise. After reading this book, I will certainly avoid the 'risky' exercises. Anyone who has the 'legendary abs', will be familar with them. The explanation in the Complete Gude reaaly is more complete. I have also appreciated vey much the book's explanation of why posture, the pelvic tilt and the abdominal hollow are so fundamental.

Format:Paperback
At last a book that explains in great detail just what 'core strength' really is. It goes into great detail about the structure of the outer and inner layers of muscle that support your back and abdomen and then offers lots of useful information about exercises. Most importantly, it explains which exercises to concentrate on if you have had any back problems and which exercises are likely to cause more problems. I've completely changed my approach to abdominal and back exercise after reading this book and the improvement in both abdominal strength and reduction in back problems has been dramatic. Worth every penny.

This book has a clear and thorough enough description of trunk anatomy. Also has a nice separation of exercises into three different levels of intensity, with suggestions on how to progress through the levels. I also have the complete guide to core stability, and I found this book more helpful (I'm a fitness instructor).
