The Less is More Abdominal Workout

Every exercise class I teach, I end with ten minutes of an intense ab routine. This is a must for my exercise class because they think the more they work their abs, the flatter their stomach will be. Wrong! Even though I have explained numerous times that they cannot spot reduce, they have to get their crunches in. It amazes me how so many smart, educated women don’t know a thing about their bodies. An article, titled "The Less is More Abdominal Workout," was written for women. This article explains where women drop the proverbial ball when it comes to working out their abs; and discusses common areas of concern and misconceptions women have about their midsection. Abdominal exercises improve posture, reduce back pain, and define muscles, but only aerobic activity along with a balanced diet gives you the flat stomach you desire.
