Let me tell you a story\u2026<\/p>\n

Yesterday I watched one of the WORST ab workouts ever.<\/p>\n

This muppet trainer called it a \u201chardcore abs\u201d <\/em>workout\u2026 but now, I think it should be renamed the \u201chardcore back breaker\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ll bet you his poor client wakes up with a sore back today. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Anywhoo\u2026<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the full scoop\u2026<\/p>\n

First, Mr muppet made his client do a \u201clower ab\u201d exercise (incline leg raises) to total fatigue\u2026then\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026immediately switch to an \u201cupper ab\u201d exercise (regular crunches), again to fatigue\u2026 and\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026basically go back and forth for 5 whole minutes with NO rest.<\/p>\n

YIKES!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t pretty.<\/p>\n

Beside the fact these ab exercises are proven back breakers and not on the \u201cKV approved\u201d list\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026the biggest myth in the ENTIRE fitness world reared it\u2019s ugly head.<\/p>\n

The simple truth is\u2026<\/p>\n

There is no such thing as upper or lower abs<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, you couldn\u2019t work just your lower abs, even if you tried!<\/p>\n

You see, it\u2019s just ONE muscle: Rectus Abdominis.<\/p>\n

Take a quick look at this pic below\u2026 See how it\u2019s one muscle attached at your rib cage and pelvis?<\/p>\n

\"abs\"<\/p>\n

(It\u2019s one sexy unit folks\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

So why does this myth never go away?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the main job of the Rectus Abdominis is to flex the spine, it contracts differently depending on the exercise you do.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an example\u2026<\/p>\n

If you do a classic crunch without moving your lower body, the upper section of your Rectus Abdominis will contract with stronger force.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if you do a reverse crunch and keep your upper body steady, the lower section of your Rectus Abdominis may contract harder.<\/p>\n

In any case, here\u2019s the point\u2026<\/p>\n

You\u2019re using your entire Rectus Abdominis for EVERY ab exercise \u2013 just to varying degrees.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So don\u2019t be going around bragging about working only your lower abs\u2026 like this muppet trainer.<\/p>\n

Instead, here\u2019s a brand NEW killer abs circuit that will help you get a sexy stomach<\/p>\n

Blog ==><\/strong> <\/span>60 seconds killer core combo with KV<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Have \u201cfun\u201d with that. You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n

Your Coach,<\/p>\n
