Hey,
I want to share a short YouTube video with you today that explains why I stopped doing sit ups and crunches years ago.
The sit up has been around since the 1940s. And even though it's still pushed by late night commercials and gym floor myths, most serious coaches moved away from it a long time ago.
Not because it's old fashioned.
Because it's ineffective and risky for your spine.
Your core wasn't designed to be yanked back and forth hundreds of times. It was designed to stabilize, protect your spine, and transfer force so the rest of your body can produce real strength.
When people ignore this and keep chasing movement based ab workouts, they don't get stronger. They get tighter, weaker, and eventually hurt.
That's where isometric training comes in.
I put together a YouTube video with 2-time Olympia IFBB Pro Marcia Goncalves where we walk through 5 advanced isometric plank variations that safely light up your core without beating up your back.
These are the same types of holds I use with athletes and everyday people who want a stronger, slimmer midsection without pain.

If that video opened your eyes, here's the part most people miss.
Those plank variations are just a small taste of what's possible when you train with isometrics the right way.
That's why I put together my full body Isometric Strength Training Program.
This isn't a gym program.
You don't need weights.
You don't need cardio.
And you don't need hours of time.
The workouts are built around short, intense 30 second isometric holds that hit deep muscle fibers, protect your joints, and still drive strength and fat loss for your entire body not just your abs.
Most workouts take about 15 minutes, can be done at home or while traveling, and are designed for real adults who want results without beating their bodies into the ground.
Right now, because of a Valentine's Day promotion, you can grab the full Isometric Strength Training Program for just $19.
That's a big drop from the normal $97 price, and it's not something we run often.
If your goal is a stronger core, better posture, less joint pain, and visible muscle without living in the gym, this is exactly what I built it for.
You can see all the details and grab it here on sale today.
Move Well. Look Well. Live Well.
