Total Core Fitness will provide you with a total core training exercise program that will help you build a healthy and perfect body. This core workout concentrates on the tranversus abdominus, a deep abdominal muscle that is crucial to maintaining lumbar spine strength. As recommended by sport scientists, physiotherapists and osteopaths, maintaining total core stability through total core training strengthens weak muscles and imbalances originating inside the body. This book instructs on the most effective stretches, poses and abdominal workouts, taken from a range of fitness principles that include yoga, Pilates, tai chi and weight training. The end result is an all-around total core workout with benefits that include:

• An increase of energy and stamina
• Improved posture
• Reduction and often elimination of lower back pain
• A more trim, better looking body
• Increased muscle strength
• A boost in the body's flexibility
