FORTIFY YOUR ABS FROM THE

INSIDE OUT WITH THESE ATYPICAL

ANTI-MOVEMENT EXERCISES.

THERE IS AN ASTOUNDING

LACK OF EDUCATION

regarding the true purpose

of the muscles in your

midsection, and in the

interest of achieving that

ever-coveted six-pack

via countless crunches

and twists, standard

workout programming

has inadvertently

marginalized some vital

training techniques that can

drastically reshape your

waistline from the inside

out — “anti-”exercises.

Instead of initiating

movement, these moves

resist it, tapping into the

deeper musculature of your

midriff, giving you a sixer

you never imagined and

a soreness you will never

forget. Add them into your

routine and enjoy greater

strength, fewer injuries and

a tighter, smaller waist —

for real.
