Subject: Ab training - how about this ?

Here is how to REALLY train your abdominals.

In a standing position, start to exhale while simultaneously contracting your abdominals by pulling your abdominals in and upward toward your ribcage. A hissing type motion, forcefully pushing the air out with your tongue pressed up against your clinched teeth works best.

Make sure that you contract your spinchter muscle ( those are the ones that are, well, how do I say this, where you allow for feces to pass out of....sorry), to protect your lower back.

Continue to forcefully exhale until you have no breath left. We recommend that you suggest that this technique be practiced throughout the day, whether you are standing on a break, in line or sitting at your desk or watching TV.

Then use this same technique when you go to the gym and are training abs on a machine or in class.

Have a strong and healthy day.
