Best Ab workout. !!!
13 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Amazing. Highly recommend this book. I've done so many Dvd's and different ab exercises and nothing comes close to how effective these are. Who would think something so simple would create such a workout. I'm amazed these exercises aren't more recommended. I do pilates, barre, etc.....these simple simple exercises top them all. Thinking about them is even motivating .....I think ill do them now. !!!

Read this book especially if you are a teacher or client w. back issues.
You might know of Blandine's other book, Anatomy of Movement. This is a brilliant book that finally addresses the poor training of abs and the possible effects of this training. The "crunch" is poor use of the abs especially when the abs are used incorrectly and is compressing the disks. A lot of clients know how to harden the abs and destroy the length of the spine. Here is a book that addresses the whys and hows to correct training.

No-Risk Abs offers a simple and safe workout for increasing your strength, building your core, and yes, losing both superficial and deeper visceral fat. Written by certified physical therapist Blandine Calais-Germain, who is also the author of the classic book Anatomy of Movement, No-Risk Abs shows you the inside world of the abs and how this amazing group of muscles keeps your body moving. Using illustrations and photos, this handy guide shows you how to do ab exercises safely and effectively. This book is as powerful as any exercise machine, filled with solid guidelines for a holistic approach to achieving a strong and healthy body.
