2. Introduction

First of all I want to thank you for giving this program a chance, a chance to improve your livelihood. Through this program you will improve your physical look, how you feel, your energy level, which you have, and the most important of all, your health. The exercises in this manual are in no way complete representation of all the exercise techniques and programs that can help you improve your abs and core conditioning.

Many functional activities in everyday life or sport require the trunk stabilizers to transfer force symmetrically or asymmetrically from the lower extremities to the upper extremities and vice versa. If the trunk does not have adequate stability during these activities, kinetic energy will be dispersed, leading to poor performance as well as increased potential for injury.
