| chair exercises for abs: Tom Danielson's Core Advantage Tom Danielson, Allison Westfahl, 2013-01-01 Tom Danielson’s Core Advantage offers a simple, highly effective core strength program for cyclists. This comprehensive approach shows the 50 essential core workout exercises that will build strength and endurance in the key core muscles for cycling--no gym membership required. Professional cyclist Tom Danielson used to have a bad back. He shifted in the saddle, never comfortable, often riding in pain. Hearing that core strength could help his back, he started doing crunches, which made matters worse. He turned to personal trainer Allison Westfahl for a new approach. Danielson and Westfahl developed all-new core exercises to build core strength specifically for cycling, curing Danielson’s back problems. Better yet, Danielson found that stronger core muscles boosted his pedaling efficiency and climbing power. Using Danielson’s core exercises, cyclists of all abilities will enjoy faster, pain-free riding. Cyclists will perform simple exercises using their own body weight to build strength in the low back, hips, abs, chest, and shoulders without adding unwanted bulk and without weights, machines, or a gym membership. Each Core Advantage exercise complements the motions of riding a bike so cyclists strengthen the right muscles that stabilize and support the body, improving efficiency and reducing the fatigue that can lead to overuse injuries and pain in the back, neck, and shoulders. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced training plans will help bike racers, century riders, and weekend warriors to build core strength throughout the season. Each plan features warm-up stretches and 15 core exercises grouped into workouts for injury resistance, better posture, improved stability and bike handling, endurance, and power. Westfahl explains the goal for each exercise, which Danielson models in clear photographs. Riding a bike takes more than leg strength. Now Tom Danielson’s Core Advantage lays out the core strengthening routines that enable longer, faster rides. |

| chair exercises for abs: 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 abs: 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 abs: The New Rules of Lifting for Women Lou Schuler, Cassandra Forsythe, PhD, RD, Alwyn Cosgrove, 2008-12-26 In The New Rules of Lifting for Women, authors Lou Schuler, Cassandra Forsythe and Alwyn Cosgrove present a comprehensive strength, conditioning and nutrition plan destined to revolutionize the way women work out. All the latest studies prove that strength training, not aerobics, provides the key to losing fat and building a fit, strong body. This book refutes the misconception that women will bulk up if they lift heavy weights. Nonsense! It's tough enough for men to pack on muscle, and they have much more of the hormone necessary to build muscle: natural testosterone. Muscles need to be strengthened to achieve a lean, healthy look. Properly conditioned muscles increase metabolism and promote weight loss -- it's that simple. The program demands that women put down the Barbie weights, step away from the treadmill and begin a strength and conditioning regime for the natural athlete in every woman. The New Rules of Lifting for Women will change the way women see fitness, nutrition and their own bodies. |

| chair exercises for abs: 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back Esther Gokhale, 2013-03-01 With a fresh approach to a common problem, this self-help guide to overcoming back pain advocates adopting the natural, healthy posture of athletes, young children, and people from traditional societies the world over. Arguing that most of what our culture has taught us about posture is misguided—even unhealthy—and exploring the current epidemic of back pain, many of the commonly cited reasons for the degeneration of spinal discs and the stress on muscles that leads to back pain are examined and debunked. The historical and anthropological roots of poor posture in Western cultures are studied as is the absence of back pain complaints in the cultures of Africa, Asia, South America, and rural Europe. Eight detailed chapters provide illustrated step-by-step instructions for making simple, powerful changes to seated, standing, and sleeping positions. No special equipment or exercise is required, and effects are often immediate. |
