Synopsis

Stop Back Pain. Healthier Exercise, Healthier Daily Life. The Ab Revolution is an important sports medicine method to quickly stop one major source of lower back pain, and build healthier movement into all you do. Part I teaches how to stop hyperlordosis, a slouch that causes one of the most common kinds of back pain.  Part II uses this technique for healthy core and whole body exercise, stretch, and strength from simple to challenging, with no forward bending that hurts discs or practices bent-forward posture. Healthy core training uses neutral spine and avoids both unhealthful flexion and hyperlordosis. New Fourth Edition is reorganized to get you started more quickly, and includes many new topics including golf, pregnancy, and others, explained step-by-step, plus many new photo instructions. By Jolie Bookspan, MEd, PhD, FAWM, award winning scientist.

"Dr. Bookspan, the brightest light in popular sports medicine, cuts through the myths and falsehoods about abs."

"Well, Jolie Bookspan has done it again! An expert at debunking "scientific" bunk, she has developed an extremely effective method that can be used in every day life for the thousands (millions?) who have chronic lumbosacral pain. Freeing the "crunchers" from the boredom of useless exercise programs that are quickly abandoned, the program is simple, sensible, and highly effective. Highly recommended."
  Ernest Campbell, M.D., FACS, President of the Medical Staff, Chairman of the Department of Surgery, Board of  Directors, Brookwood Medical Center

"You have eliminated my longstanding back pain. Thank you for constantly discrediting the myths that are so-often forced upon us."
