Everyone, especially females, dreams of flat abs. But all too often we see little or no result from exercise or dieting – the dreaded pooch remains despite being able to perform hundreds of crunches! So what can be preventing you or your clients from seeing the results you expect to get? In this lecture, Paul Chek will explain the common problems and issues that must be addressed in order to reach the goal of flat abs, including ineffective exercise programming, poor nutritional habits, hormonal imbalances, gynecological and gastro-intestinal disorders and more.

After watching this video you will:

• Understand the common problems that affect people’s ability to get results from an abdominal conditioning program.
• Understand problems that are particular to female physiology.
• Be able to recognize the 10 roadblocks to success in abdominal conditioning.
• Understand when to refer a client to another health professional for evaluation and/or treatment.
