Full Backcover Description
In Maximum Abs Gilad uses a heavy ball to apply his ‘Energy Transference Principle.’ You’ll be guided through a variety of functional moves perfect for sculpting your core without ever going to the floor. This workout not only shrinks your waistline and gives you 6-pack abs, it transforms your sports performance as well as everyday functional moves.
Why an entire series devoted to abs? When he set out to develop the perfect abs workout, Gilad soon realized one workout wouldn’t cut it. In order to hit every aspect of this important and complex muscle group, he developed the Lord of the Abs system designed to give you the core strength you need to improve every aspect of your physical functioning- while burning away fat and sculpting your own 6-pack in record time.

An all-standing, core-driven workout that also shapes your upper and lower body (while it burns fat with cardio-speed motions). Gilad begins each progression with an ab-centered toning or stability movement. Then, still maintaining the abdominal focus, he layers in the upper and lower body exercises (e.g. a torso rotation blended with a squat and an overhead press). Combining these large limb movements with a fast pace keeps your heart rate continuously elevated (which keeps you continuously burning calories). Filmed outdoors on a Hawaiian beach. Gilad uses a medicine ball, but a single dumbbell will work. ©2011.
