| chair exercises for stomach: Fastest ABS Workout Piotr Koczewski, 2019-07-24 “Fastest ABS Workout” is a revolutionary, previously unknown approach to body building. The exercises I show in this book will let you shape your abs to form a visible 6-pack, 8-pack or even 10-pack a lot faster than with traditional sit-ups, and a lot easier than with sophisticated gym workout plans.Based on over 10 years of experience with abdominal muscles training, having found no other guidebook to meet my expectations, I developed my own excersise system which – much to my surprise but also to great satisfaction – has let me reach results ten times more spectacular, causing quick fat burning with simultaneous muscle growth.I decided to share my experiences, observations, thoughts and tips with other people who want to get rid of their spare tires and get desirable abs sculpture, but who also – just like me – don't like and don't have the time to endlessly and thoughtlessly repeat boring exercises in the blind hope of finally getting “some” results “some” day.Unlike many other guidebooks regarding the same topic, my book focuses primarily on actions and results in order to minimize the time spent on reading and exercising while maximizing the effects of this effort. That's why I tried to include only the most important information, purposely omitting the majority of unnecessary scientific knowledge that other books often overwhelm their readers with. At the same time, I dispel a lot of popular myths and widely spread, yet incorrect or even harmful beliefs regarding abdominal muscles training.I strived to make my book as easy reading as possible – and to make picking up exercises and starting your training just as easy and fast. To achieve that, I used simple language that anyone can understand, minimizing the written content while boosting it with original images to properly demonstrate the exercises.My book all by itself is the best embodiment of its message: “Fastest ABS Workout” is slim and not too wordy, visually appealing, easy to read, and effective, bringing you unexpectedly impressive results in half the time – or even faster – than your previous exercises. What's more, it is the first book to give you great motivation while leaving you with a lot of free time aside of the exercises. For there is so much more important and pleasurable things to do every day – but it's so much better to do them being in good shape, good health and good mood thanks to regular and effective workout! One of the main problems – and the most frequent excuses – distracting you from starting any kind of physical workout, and making it hard to maintain your training routine once even started, is lack of time. I know first hand that it can constitute a serious drawback, because I found it difficult myself to allocate the time for regular workout.Because of this time management issue, I developed exercises for myself that focus on the duration of holding certain body position rather than on number of repeats. Thanks to this, I was able to shorten the workout time from dozens to just a couple of minutes every day while getting the same or even better results significantly faster. Did you know that you can exercise your abs while sitting on your couch and watching TV? Have you ever thought about effective abdominal exercises based on seconds and not the number of repetitions? Did you know that spending just a few minutes before bedtime is enough to maintain the abdominal muscle sculpture throughout the year? Have you ever thought about exercises that don't require any special instruments, just a stopwatch? Do you know how to start exercising individual muscle parts of the abdomen, starting from scratch? Do you know one exercise that lets you carve up three groups of abdominal muscles at the same time? Did you know that there is such a thing as 10-pack abs? Do you know that you can accelerate the hypertrophy of the abdominal muscles using only exercises, without taking any supplements? Have you ever checked the efficiency of your abdominal muscles by doing a stress test? Are you ready for a training that lets you forget about outdated and boring diet tips, counting calories, avoiding fat, and keeping track of endless numbers of series and repetitions? Thanks to my exercises, you will be able to save time which can be used, for example, for pleasure. The book contains 42 exercises for all abdominal muscle parts, grouped into chapters. I invite you to read about new abs exercises that will change your belly. |

| chair exercises for stomach: NeuroKinetic Therapy David Weinstock, 2012-06-05 NeuroKinetic Therapy is based on the premise that when an injury has occurred, certain muscles shut down or become inhibited, forcing other muscles to become overworked. This compensation pattern can create pain or tightness. By applying light pressure that the client then resists, the practitioner can evaluate the strength or weakness of each muscle, revealing the sources of injury and retraining the client’s body to remove the compensation patterns—reprogramming the body at the neural level.This easy-to-follow practitioner’s manual presents a series of muscle tests specially designed to uncover and resolve compensation patterns in the body. Author David Weinstock begins by explaining how this approach stimulates the body and mind to resolve pain. Organized anatomically, each section of the book includes clear photographs demonstrating correct positioning of the muscle accompanied by concise explanations and instructions. Labeled anatomical illustrations appear at the end of each section showing the relationships between the muscles and muscle groups. This essential resource is especially useful for physical therapists, chiropractors, orthopedists, and massage therapists looking for new ways to treat underlying causes of pain. |

| chair exercises for stomach: Breath James Nestor, 2020-05-26 A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR “A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly. There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again. |

Where there's more at stake than winning a medal, or getting a bruised ego. It's great having a 600lb squat and 400lb bench press. However, as an operational athlete, if you can't move, work, or thrive for long periods of time in a multitude of energy demanding environments, you are ineffective. Your big bench is useless; your big squat is useless. Tactical Barbell proposes you work towards being a different kind of athlete. The kind that's not only extremely strong, but also highly conditioned. If you look carefully, you'll see these people all around you. That guy on your Emergency Response Team with the 350lb bench press and a sub 9 minute 1.5 mile run. The old Marine Sergeant that can run 6 miles in under 40 minutes followed by 30 dead-hang pull-ups. So how do you get there? It's not what you think. Popular 'bootcamp' style approaches that throw a lot of push-ups and running at you in a haphazard fashion don't work for long. Sure, you'll break a sweat and release some endorphins. You might even lose a pound or two. But take a good hard look at your progress. For all your effort, are you really that far ahead? To make real progress, you have to look to the approaches used by professionals. Train each attribute you're trying to improve in a progressive manner, using the most effective tools for that particular fitness domain. In TB2, you'll find the structured, three-pronged approach to conditioning we take with tactical athletes. It consists of Base Building, followed by a transition to a more specific continuation protocol. Periodic maintenance of lower-priority domains complete the model. TB2 is the premier training manual for tactical law enforcement candidates, soldiers, and other operational athletes. You will be hard pressed to find a more thorough and effective conditioning program. If you're a results-oriented individual looking for concrete, actionable programming based on cutting edge practices, this book is for you. |
