Training your abdominal (core) muscles with the
ABsolute Six-Pack™ puts the
center of your whole body (pelvis and spine) in the ideal position to maximize the
your work out -
ABsolute Six-Pack™ increases the core training range of motion.
Core Muscle Strength Defined:
The strength of your core muscles is measured in terms of (1) how much weight (or
resistance) a muscle can lift, (2) how many repetitions a muscle can perform, or
(3) how long a muscle can hold a neutral (flexed) position.
NEW TRAINING
METHOD
- ABsolute Six-Pack™ allows the lumbar area of the spine to be supported and
maintains the natural and neutral curvature position of the spine.
- ABsolute Six-Pack™ adds 12 degrees of “flexion”, or extension, that is normally
lost while lying flat on the floor.
- ABsolute Six-Pack™ allows the spine to flex up to 44 degrees, which is nearly
double the range of motion using the old training method.
- ABsolute Six-Pack™ improves your body’s ability to stimulate the core abdominal
muscles.
- ABsolute Six-Pack™ is the most effective and ideal way to stimulate and recruit
your entire core abdominal muscles, eliminating unnecessary strain on the neck and
unwanted lower back tension. The result is increased abdominal strength and stability
through fewer repetitions.
OLD TRAINING
METHOD
- The old training method of lying flat on the floor flattens out the natural curve
of the spine and you lose significant extension, which equals 10 to 15 degrees of
flexion (movement).
- The old training method can cause you to loose 30 to 50% of the exercises range
of motion before it even begins because the natural curve of your lumbar spine is
already flexed and becomes ineffective throughout the exercises range of motion.
- The old training method only recruits 26 degrees of spinal flexion.
- The old training method is less effective at training your core abdominal muscles,
it increases the tension on your neck, and it requires you to spend twice as much
time doing twice the number of exercise repetitions.
- Most important, the old training method less effective at increasing or improving
abdominal strength vs. the new training method.
