Abdominal Strengthening

Heather Crosby, a certified personal trainer and owner (with her husband, Paul) of Crosby Personal Training located at Cape Cod Fitness Center, has agreed to do a series of exercise videos for Fitness Rocks. We started with a short video on Abdominal strengthening in which Heather uses the MECA back wedge developed by Dr. Jeff Anderson, CSCS (www.mecaback.com).

Heather points out that when positioning oneself on the wedge it is important to have the hips relaxed with your butt off  the floor.
