A B - D O n ’t s

N ow for the AB-DOn’ts!

• Don’t place your feet together; they must be wide and flat and firmly planted on the floor.

• Don’t look down, instead keep your chin up and eyes fo r wa rd. This will prevent your upper back fro m

slouching and help keep your spinal column straight and upright.

• Don’t  perform  any  fast  movements  until  your  muscles  have  had  a  chance  to  adjust  to  their  new 

exe rcise ro u t i n e.

• Don’t perform ex t reme ranges of motion until your midsection muscles and lower back have become

m o re flex i b l e.

• Don’t pull the Arm Bars with your hands. Instead, let your midsection muscles perform all the wo r k .

• Don’t  count  re p e t i t i o n s.  Ra t h e r,  treat  your  AB-DOer  wo r kouts  like  any  other  aerobic  activity.

You  wouldn’t  count  steps  on  a  treadmill  or  stepper.  Instead,  just  have  fun  and  "dance"  from  a 
seated position.

It ta rgets the 

A B D O M I N A L S ,

It ta rgets the 

SPINAL COLUMN,

It ta rgets the 

MUSCLES OF THE LOWER BACK,

AND 

It ta rgets the 

THE OBLIQUES

, those nasty 

l ove handles 

everybody desperately wants to eliminate.

John Abdo’s AB-DOer™ does it all!
