THE ABSMART FITNESS PLAN:
A Proven Workout to Lose Inches and Strengthen
Your Core without Straining Your Back

By Adam Weiss, D.C.

All over the world, women and men take classes, read books, watch videos and use machines to achieve stronger flatter waistlines. People are always looking for a program that will take inches off of their mid-section without straining their neck or contributing to lower back pain. As a chiropractic physician, Adam Weiss, author of THE ABSMART FITNESS PLAN: A Proven Workout to Lose Inches and Strengthen Your Core without Straining Your Back (McGraw-Hill; February 2009) understands that traditional abdominal exercises can cause these uncomfortable feelings. That is why he created a safe and effective routine for slimming the waist without the risk of pain or injury.

THE ABSMART FITNESS PLAN introduces a new way to target and strengthen core muscles using a unique combination of stretches to tone the hip flexor muscles for increased range of motion. The program also deceases bloating that can lead to a larger waistline that exercise alone will not help and it teaches readers how to prevent and reverse bloating with an easy-to-follow dietary program. In addition, the book includes unconventional abdominal exercises that teach body-weight-only moves and techniques to tone, shape and strengthen the core region without causing injuries.

Unlike other programs, THE ABSMART FITNESS PLAN was written by a chiropractor who is aware of the damages that can result from doing the wrong kind of work out. With Dr. Weiss' unique combination of flexibility training, targeted strengthening and diet, readers will get the results they want safely and effectively.
