Abs: quit your comfort zone!

In fitness, abdominal training is one of the most read topics on internet and in magazines. Abdominal fitness equipment are selling like hot cakes…
Why more and more people are out of shape?

Simple: those who read just read! They don’t take action, they are too lazy; they want the information, then they are happy, and tell to themselves: “excellent, this time I got it! I start tomorrow!”
They never start!

Same thing for people purchasing the abdominal “gadget” equipment: they buy it because the gadget is supposed to give better and faster results!
In your dreams!
The worthless piece of equipment ends very quickly in a closet and never goes out again!
The truth is people don’t want to quit their comfort zone! They want to go easy, they want to stay secure: but I think doing nothing or doing worthless exercises is not so secure for your body and your health.

Here an exercise I teach in my bootcamps: your abs work for your entire body and in synergy with others muscles. You build strong abs able to work for real movements:

Start with your legs straight; go down while tensing your entire body: abs, legs, buttocks, then raise your legs, raise your hips using the momentum and roll. This exercise will break your comfort zone, so stay in control and do only a few reps per set to keep the perfect form.
