Best Ab Exercises: Abdominal Workout Routine For Core Strength And A Flat Stomach

A friend recommended this writer to me so I figured I would give him a try. This is the first book I've read by Mr. Barrett, but it won't be the last! I really enjoyed his overall perspective on exercise. The first chapter focused on why the best type of ab workout is one that works your CORE - which includes many other major muscle groups. I liked that because I was really sick of doing sit-ups and crunches to isolate the abs. Mr. Barrett provided so many other options that really DO help strengthen your overall core. And, he includes pictures of the exercises so you can make sure you are doing them correctly.Also, the writer doesn't assume that every person reading this book is a hard-core athlete - he provides variations of the exercises. He explains that you can benefit from doing just a few of the many exercises each day. In other words, he is realistic that not every person who chooses this book reads it just because they want 6-pack abs. I wanted to learn some fun variations to the typical ab exercises - I did! I also got the benefit of learning exercises that strengthen my core AND help relieve my back pain!This book was a quick and educational read! I liked the writing style of this author - he explained things well and made the information fun and interesting. I've already downloaded my next book from the author - Hand and Forearm Exercises - recommended by a friend because of all the work I do on the computer!  Hand And Forearm Exercises: Grip Strength Workout And Training Routine

(English is not my primary language)Well, I read a unfair bad review about another book from this author, and decided put my review about this book.This is my second book by this author, and I think that I am able to perceive a method of work in his books:- they are short- they are “right to the point”- they show really good progressions from one exercise to the next level- the harder levels are really difficult. ( look for his book “One arm pull up” )If you want a book that justify its title and don’t waste you time or money, you will get from this author. If you needs motivation, and like of colored pictures from tattooed shirtless men with criminal looking, or instruction about the old things that even child should know nowadays (myths about spot fat reduction, the problems of fast food, the bad rule of carbs in our diet), look for another books, all for them more expensive, more instructional about general matters, but more basic about the main subject of the title.

This little book is full of key moves that will bring into play many muscles as you workout your abs. They are all relatively simple which can be done regularly each week. See these as not burden, but as a way of daily living along with other simple exercise. They will stimulate your core muscles as well as vertebral joints and others, providing movement which will add healthy feeling. I'm 52 and starting to feel different aches due to my martial arts training through the years. Now I have found the importance of keeping all joints in motion through simple exercises. I recommend this book to complement other things you are doing.

This book is short and sweet, detailing the best core exercises and also takes it up a notch for those who are a bit more advanced. There are photos as well as written descriptions to ensure that the exercises are being done correctly. The last chapter also touches on healthy eating and staying fit. All in all, a great informative read for someone trying to get fit.

A great workout routine for core strengthing. Now I have an alternative routine to do whenever I have time for a workout. Good use of my time and energy without being complex or requiring a bunch of machines.

I was impressed with the variation of work outs to strengthen your core. Was also delighted to see a couple options to help strengthen your back. Both of these are areas I know I need to focus on. Look forward to incorporating some of these ideas into my routine

These exercises are tough! But it is just what I need. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to build up their core.

The exercises are good. Most I already knew of. But a few were new and I have added them to my routine. The only criticism is the author's command of the language. I could be better.

Some exercises are easy and manageable but some are more difficult (something to work at) and some exercises need access to training equipment which I do not have (yet).In general the book is very easy to read and the exercises are described and pictured very well.The book is small enough to read from cover to cover, several times over which is a plus in my opinion.No crunches and no sit-ups in an exercise book about abdominal workout routines, that is a negative in my opinion.

As an oap I wanted to get stronger. I am slowly building up my strength with the exercises in the book. It works and after working on this I can see a change in my core strength which is great. Try it out do not ignore it

A little paper back book. Pictures are a little blurred and in black and white, but descriptions are clear and easy to follow.

Not much to learn from this. Googles better!

This book was easy reading and following the practical methods stated made a life changing difference to my body great
