Crunchless Abs

Surfers, dancers, body builders, and athletes for the most part have washboard abs or slender lean waistlines, but what about the rest of us? Can we get them too? Well, according to fitness trainer and certified nurse Linda LaRue, who is also the developer of the Crunchless Abs system, we can get our abs flat and toned without doing a single crunch. She suggests that by doing this workout for about ten minutes a day, or more if you like, you can get your waistline into tip top shape using her DVD based workouts. The Crunchless Abs system consists of six different workouts. Crunchless Abs starts you out with Crunchless Abs 1, and then you move onto Crunchless Abs 2 and 3 to build on that workout. But as you increase your core strength, you can continue to get abs flat by using Crunchless Abs 4, while the included Total Body Sculpting and Cardio Core Sculpting workouts provide a more targeted getting abs flat workout. So what exercises are included in this abs flat workout? According to LaRue, she’s included exercises that go beyond crunches in terms of the areas toned and strengthened. Her site notes that standard crunches just work two muscle groups, while Crunchless Abs works twelve different muscle groups throughout the core and lower back. This means that while the core gets a tummy tightening workout, the lower back muscles gain strength too, creating a corset like result, pulling the core in tighter.
