The Best and the Worst Abs Exercises
Worst Abs Exercise: the Crunch
I have no clue how such a pathetic exercise has come to dominate the scene. I guess some simple mind came up with a bright idea that not coming up all the way would isolate the abs from the psoas. It does not. But if you have not read my book Bullet-Proof Abs you will never know why.
Best Abs Exercise: the Janda Situp
The crunch brigade is stuck in the industrial age. They treat the body as a simplistic mechanism of pulleys and levers and fail to recognize the vital role of the nervous system in protecting the back – and in making rock hard abs happen.. The Janda situp, a state of the art exercise developed by a top Eastern European back rehab specialist, drags abs fitness into the information age. It ‘hacks’ into your ‘muscle software’ to dramatically amplify the intensity of the abdominal contraction while shutting off the potentially back damaging hip flexor muscles.
