Publisher's Synopsis
This work presents the core muscle training program which, for more than 30 years, Dr. Arnould has developed and taught to thousands of adults aged 20 to 90 in his clinic, the Strength for Life Health & Fitness Center. It includes dozens of detailed illustrations of the muscles you will be training as well as clear pictures and explicit directions for every exercise. The Strength for Life(R) Abdominal program begins with essential and basic exercises. Once you have mastered these fundamentals, you are presented with more demanding core exercises, which not only help you to attain phenomenal abdominals, but also improve your flexibility, balance, coordination, and agility. This graduated approach, from easy basic exercises to much more challenging ones, allows you to progress step-by-step to a level of core muscle fitness that meets your personal needs and desires. In addition to a comprehensive approach to achieving a stronger midsection of your body, this book provides expert advice about how to make your waistline leaner as well. The final three chapters guide you through the basic principles of eating for well-being, cardiovascular and respiratory conditioning, and whole-body strength training. As you implement the many unique principles illustrated in this book, you will be amazed at how steadily you progress toward your personal health goals. You will discover a personal and internally generated enthusiasm that will inspire you to follow this plan not just for a year, not just for a decade, but for life!
