In abdominal work use the body's fascial support system for better results in yoga, pilates, general exercise and life.

[b]What you'll learn[/b]
Learn how the arms connect into; and communicate with; and support the torso
Understand the supporting role of the back "sling" in abdominal work
Recruit the functional strength through fascial connection and stretch
Improve basic form in all abdominal curl movements and exercises
Learn techniques that make roll ups, curls and other abdominal exercises do-able

[b]Requirements[/b]
Some pilates or yoga experience helpful, but not necessary
An open mind and willingness to try a different approach to a familiar movement

[b]Description[/b]
This short course teaches how to use the body's natural connections to improve your roll up and all your abdominal curl exercises by taking the focus off the abdominal crunch and into the supporting systems of the back and arms. In addition to roll ups, we talk about roll down, ab prep, crunches and hundreds.Fascia is the body's connective tissue, but it is not just stuffing. It is, among other things, a communication system, that can direct a sequence of muscles performing a complicated action in a smooth and coordinated way. The result is better strength, better function and less pain. Often, you have the brute strength to do an exercise, but not the technique to put all your resources toward the goal. Other times we are trying to make the abs do the work of moving us and supporting us and we need to employ other systems to do the support work. In every exercise, are you in control of the contraction and the stretch of the opposing muscle; in an ab crunch are you in control of the up and the down?When beginners learn to coordinate the stretch and strength work of a network of muscles, exercises that seemed impossible become routine. Intermediate students can use these ideas to find success in exercises that have traditionally been challenging. Even an advanced practitioner can find improvements when they understand these concepts. Perhaps a plateau is not actually a plateau, but a chance to find new dimensions.

Who this course is for
Anyone who feels the need to increase abdominal strength
Anyone who wants to improve their roll-up, sit up, hundreds, ab curls, crunches, etc.
