Many Benefits from Crunchless Abs Workouts

When I began the Crunchless Abs program, I thought that flat abs were definitely the most important goal. But it turns out that there are other benefits to these exercise videos. Because they strengthen your abdominal core, you’ll notice that you take new strength into everything you do. Your posture improves. And it brings you into your body. You become aware of your muscles and how you’re using them when you go about your regular activities. Gardening, house work, sports and other forms of exercise, and the like. You will get a new sense of how you use your body and more control over every move you make.

You can feel your core abdominals activate and help with upper-body work you do around the house and yard. You’ll even feel your abs kick into gear when you’re climbing a hill. You’ll get straighter, taller, and it will be easier to trudge upward.

One of the ways that the workouts give you this well-rounded core improvement is that there are a big variety of moves featured. Incorporating various poses from the traditions of yoga and pilates keeps it interesting and gives your body a great workout. Hopefully you too will notice this variety of benefits from this program that also happens to give you sexy abs without crunches.

Crunchless Abs vs. Mini Ab Circle

So, I'm at a friend's house and she has a device called the Mini Ab Circle. Seems like a cool little gizmo that allows you to do various simple movements for working out your abs. But, here's the downside: it's hard on your knees. Well, it's hard on my knees, and I don't have particularly troublesome knees. I probably tried it out for about 4 minutes, doing maybe 6 different moves. And when I stopped, owie. My right knee really was sore. The reason for this is that all of the exercises have you down in a kneeling position. So while I love the idea that you can just do these repetitive motions while you're watching TV, I'm not so sure I could stand to do it regularly if it was hurting my knees like that. FYI, the mini machine is $99 and the larger version is $199. Not too bad, but WAY more expensive than the Crunchless Abs program.

So there are two upsides of the Crunchless Abs program: very inexpensive, and really low-impact on your body. You get great results on your abdominal core without stressing other joints and muscles in the process.

Grab Your Towel and Sculpt Your Abs

I have to say, my favorite workouts require little to no equipment. This is one of the things I absolutely love about the Crunchless Abs program. In the Crunchless Abs 2 workout, all you need is a towel. That’s it. And in just 10 minutes a day, I’m working my way toward firmer, stronger, sexier abs. It’s all about making them work – repeatedly. And not just some of the abs, but all of your abs. Side obliques, lower abs, upper abs – all of your core gets activated and put to work. These are really simple exercises! It’s not rocket science. Getting taut, sculpted abs isn’t a big mystery and won’t require a ton of time, but it does take consistency – you’ve got to commit to working on them just about every day if you want to see results.

Now, the killer move in this program is the pushup. Whoa. As I’ve gotten older, my upper body strength has really diminished. This would explain why I’m starting to get those flabby upper arms I never thought would happen to me. Must resist!! Tracy Mallet leads us through really clever exercises that trick your abdominals into working hard – you just won’t believe it till you try it. The most amazing little move to me is when you drag a towel across the floor with your arm – it’s crazy how it taps directly into your abs and makes them work hard.
