Expansion Sit-Backs - An Amazingly Effective Abdominal Exercise You've Probably Never Done Before
And I have just the exercise for this - the Expansion Sit Back. This exercise is not only a favorite of mine, it's also backed up by many EMG studies that compare hip flexor and abdominal activation. The latest study coming out of Canada indicated that this exercise produced the greatest abdominal activation while minimizing flexor activation.Just one last bit of background before I show you how it's done. I first learned of the Expansion Sit Back when I was wrestling in college. I was fanatic about finding exercise programs that would improve my wrestling strength and ability. One day while browsing through the college library, I found a book titled Maximum Performance by Lawrence Moorhouse, the famed exercise kinesiologist from UCLA. This book was a gold mine of information and ahead of its time. Back then there weren't many conditioning books, tapes or DVD's, there was no Internet and Jane Fonda was the rage. I read this book one night and came up with my own wrestling conditioning program. A part of this program was the Expansion Sit Back. This is over 25 years ago and I still consider it a good as gold exercise to this day.An Expansion Sit Back when performed correctly will strengthen the entire abdominal wall, not just your rectus abdominis (the six pack abs muscles). It also minimizes hip flexor action. You will find this exercise challenging and worthwhile as your abdominal core becomes toned and sharp. Please do not over do it. Take your time - that's how it works best.How to perform the Expansion Sit Back and its 4 progressive variations.Starting Position: Sit comfortably on the floor with your knees bent, feet and back on the floor.Pages: 1 [2] 3 4

Becoming an Advanced Scuba DiverBecoming an Advanced Scuba DiverAuthor: Ollie DonovanJust like school, learning is progress. You can't simply remain at the same level year in and year out. Scuba diving requires the same progression. First, interested scuba divers have to enroll themselves in basic scuba diving courses. After they have obtained the fundamental skills and the needed knowledge of the underwater hobby, then they can proceed to the advanced level. |
A Deer in the HeadlightsA Deer in the HeadlightsAuthor: gregchapmanIt's that time of year again where collisions are all too common between vehicles and deer. Between the deer population seeking out more living space due to humans encroaching on them and the increase of male deer activity between October through December with mating season - the chance of your car being in an accident with a deer is highly possible. |
