Move over crunches!
3D Loading is Where it’s at for Awesome Abs

Ever heard of reactive core training? Picture it like a default setting for your abs… an automatic reaction that happens when you load the abs in certain ways. New science has revealed that when you put your body into a position like a hover, your core automatically engages in 3D.

No more trying to exert active muscle tension to get the most out of a crunch. All you have to do is get in the right position – and whamo – your automatic wiring does the rest. So when someone says that they’re finding it hard to do enough crunches to maintain their core strength, tell them about reactive core training. It’s the key to unlocking true functional core strength. That’s core strength when and how you need it for everyday life.
