Just Don't Do It.

I had a conversation with a newly minted trainer at the gym this morning. I was trying to convince him that the world does not need another trainer standing people on bosu balls with 2 lb weights in the name of functional fitness and balance. Gray Cook has a great book called The Athletic Body in Balance that is a must read for trainers interested in giving their clients the best information.
I also told him that the world does not need any more weak people and that if he wants to make a name for himself then make people strong.
This guy is one of those people who, for some reason, thinks that I know something. I shall let him continue under that assumption as people who think I know something are few and far between.

Squat 1 x 10 with just the bar very slow

 Couldn't find a video for the abdominal twister so I will try to explain it: Lie on your back, raise up your torso and your feet, put your hands behind your back then twist and bring the elbow to the opposite knee.
