I'm curious to know the answer to the question Paula asked last week:
Quote:
I was looking ahead and doing some planning last night and got to stage 4 where I started seeing 2-3 for the set numbers??

How is this supposed to be handled (I didn't see it in the book)? Start out with 2 sets and work my way up to 3 full sets? That's what I was assuming but you know what happens when you assume about anything.


Chapter 9 is devoted to an excellent discussion of anatomy trains (I admire you for including this topic!) and quad dominance, clarifying the importance of core stability. We are convinced by the end of this chapter that crunches are not an ideal exercise choice for the typical woman. Yet in Stage 1 Workout B there is a Swiss ball crunch, and planks are not introduced until Stage 2. Why not begin with a plank, or plank variation, in Stage 1?
