 Posted: 03/14/06 - 10:55 Post subject: Contrary to popular ab beliefs...
| Quote: | | Regarding core muscles, I couldn't agree with you more that 6-pack abs are inappropriate for runners. The deep abdominals are more important that the beach muscles out front. In fact, I believe that overdeveloped abs inhibit the diaphragm from moving freely to allow for proper breathing. (((Dr. Phil Maffetone, coach of triathlete great Mark Allen, discusses this in his book, Training for Endurance))). |
...pulled this off another running board...
I think I agree

By "I think I agree" do you mean that you're too lazy to do crunches?

Remind me to tell my wife that it isn't that I have a belly, it's that I have beach muscles.

She'll probably agree, saying that your muscles feel like loose sand.
