I agree completely about ab training with static holds. I've had some really good success using indirect movements like pull overs work nicely as well.

I tried this when the regular plank became too easy. I also will place my hands on a medicine ball out pas my head. Still working on an advanced version of the side plank. I'm not convinced that a regular crunch or situp is bad for you. Being in the military I've been doing these for over 20 years & haven't been hurt because of them nor do I know anyone who has been. My posture is still great at 49. For an advanced version of the plan, try resting on the hands arms straight & out past your head as far as you can & still hold for a minute or two.

Yep, for lower back the static moves really are what you need, for support when lifting. Also stretch out those hamstrings...as if those are tight that will give undue pressure on the pelvis/lower lumbars.

I have had some lower back issues in the past so these really do strike me as better alternatives to crunches. Thanks again for the link!

By 30 seconds I was shaking like a bowl of Jello during a San Francisco earthquake. Wow! I will definitely be adding this to my routine. I tried these during my lunch workout today.

Too funny....yes I believe I might have used that "praying" line in the past too with clients. It's a good mental image at least for those to understand how to do it correctly. Deb – Ha.

Great workout. Do it every time I'm in the gym.
