AbExtensions
Written by John Ireland
?Fat accumulates in areas not exercised properly.
So,lets earn the right to eat again through proper exercise routines. Kinesiology principles concerning conventionalnsit-ups and crunches state that 90% of these routines involve the back muscles and only 10% of the stomach / rectus abdominis. The latin root word: “rectus” is any of various straight muscles as of the abdomen, thigh, neck, and eye. This term is clearly presented in medical textbooks.“Rectus” muscles must be extended / straighten to be exercised properly
100 %.
The 6 Pack Ab Extension Routines represent textbook information that is not beingnapplied in the gymnasium industry. It’s my “rectus” conviction to introduce two
6 Pack Ab Extension Routines that primarily exercise the Rectus Abdominis muscle area.
These routines have been endorsed by:
Jim Anderson, Trainer St. LOUIS RAMS
George Anderson & Rod Martin, Trainers OAKLAND RAIDERS
Bill Buhler, Head Trainer LOS ANGELES DODGERS
Gary Vitti, Trainer LOS ANGELES LAKERS
Pete Demers, Trainer LOS ANGELES KINGS
Ken Locker, Physical Trainer DALLAS COWBOYS
Scott Morrison, Trainer LOS ANGELES LAZERS
George H. Allen, Football Hall Fame Former Head Coach, LOS ANGELES RAMS & WASHINGTON REDSKINS and former Chairman & CEO NATIONAL FITNESS FOUNDATION
