Just For Women! A few reasons abdominal muscles weaken and lose shape are past pregnancies, surgeries, sitting at a desk all day, being sedentary and poor posture.  In this workshop, you will learn a series of extremely effective exercises that will quickly strengthen all four layers of abdominal muscle, especially the deepest layer WITHOUT stressing your back or neck joints and WITHOUT having to get on the floor.  Don't waste time with traditional crunches.  Learn a different, more effective way to strengthen your abdominals, re-shape your waistline and prevent/relieve lower back discomfort.
