Classified into three levels of difficulty (beginner, advanced, high level), they are also perfectly adapted to everyone's abilities. Both complete and very accessible, this manual provides the explanations and exercises necessary for effective and safe practice. This book is intended for anyone who wants to strengthen their muscles, particularly in the abdominal belt, back and pelvic muscles, both in terms of well-being and sports performance. • It will also be an educational support for coaches of all sports, physical trainers and physiotherapists.
