Not By Crunches Alone: Alternate Training For Your Abs
Submitted by Fit and Female Blog
Core training is all the rage these days. But core training has undergone some fundamental changes in the last few years. Now more and more experts are recommending that you focus on stabilizing the core when you work the abs and lower back, rather than doing moves such as crunches or sit-ups. The reason is that the primary job of these muscles is to help keep the lumbar spine in position so that the spine remains intact and pain-free. These two essential exercises that can be done as part of your core training — or even at the beginning of a workout to help wake up the abs and lower back muscles. Check them out and consider adding them to your program.
