"The AB-Inforcer initially did not make since to me," stated Michael Alexandrov, USA national record holder in the breast stroke.
"I was not aware that I was rotated and had muscular core imbalances that were affecting my lower back and postural position in the water. It gave me awareness and information to transfer functionally into the water regarding awareness of 'turning my lights on' and bracing'. Even though theoretically I did not get it in the beginning, it is invaluable information. Now I can maintain my correct lumbar curvature and keep my core and entire posture engaged for my whole race." You don't have to understand it or how the AB-Inforcer Core Biofeedback Trainer works.
Lee Brandon, CSCS, Olympic Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, states: "Once you learn the techniques and awareness 2 dimensionally on the machine (AB-Inforcer) and practice it functionally in the water. 'Practice makes permanent" and then you program a new neuromuscular motor pattern grooving a whole new water dynamic position duplicating great neutral spine biomechanics in the pool!"
USA Olympic Trials for this summers London Olympic games, start June 24th, 2012.
Keep your eye out for this great talent on the USA team!!!"

CURE FOR CHRONIC PAIN? Actress, Tiiu Leek shares hope...

This review is from: AB-Inforcer® (Health and Beauty)
The Ab-inforcer has really helped to strengthen my core muscles. The lighted remote device lets me know if I am doing the exercise correctly and optimizing my workout. Hence the expression: keep your lights on. If you're using the muscles correctly, the lights on the remote will turn on. If not, you make adjustments. As my abs have become stronger, my low back pain has been reduced. It's a lightweight, simple but effective helper to prevent further injury. I can recommend the Ab-inforcer without hesitation. I love it!
Exercise has helped to make me feel better in general. The targeted program I do with Lee, using the ab-inforcer, has really helped to cushion my spine from the inside and my abs stronger. I lift grocery bags, my small thirty pound dog, large water bottles, etc. using those muscles and preventing further injury.
When I am doing the exercises designed for me, I am not as aware of the pelvic nerve pain ...maybe the endorphins help me to get up and over that pain. Let me just say, I'm not a dedicated fan of exercise...but I do like how I feel after it... so I'll just continue."
There are so many who deal with Chronic pain and exercise in good form has been proven clinically to assist in pain management for a variety of reasons: Endorphins (300x's as potent as morphine are released), muscle is a powerful tool and the more we have the more it assists us structurally...There are so many more benefits, these are just a few!
Tiiu is making her amazing stage show debut in the Supporting Cast at Theatre Palisades. Her physical role she takes on here is a tribute to her hard training and use of the AB-Inforcer!

"It is not often that the universe allows us to feel the 'PERFECT STORM' in its EYE! Having Coach Robinson (who coached at University of Texas, University of Syracuse, UCLA, NY Jets, Denver Broncos...), Ricky Berens (US Olympic Gold Medalist who swam with Phelps helping him win his final gold), and the great Marcus Rogan from Austria was such an honor."
Brandon continues, "In life, there are these perfect moments. When they strike, you pray your present to appreciate them! I was standing in the middle of this perfect powerful swirling moment of power. I feel so blesssed to be training Olympians and professionals after 30 years in the fitness industry. How amazing is it that Coach Robinson and I worked together with the NY JETS 21 over years ago. To have him standing there seeing the Olympic Training we were doing was inspiring and breathtaking! It was truly a PERFECT STORM of power and intensity, and I was in its eye!"
Coach Robinson looked on and smiled, "If one could have taken the pulse at the gym, the vibration was off the chart! Everyone stopped to watch Lee kick those boys into shape! Truly amazing! London 2012 is going to be amazing."

ARE YOU SELECTING THE RIGHT EXERCISES FOR YOUR JOB?
Santa Monica, California:
Lee reminds us, "Remember, practice makes permanent...not Perfect! Choosing the ideal protocols that fit your lifestyle is critical in long term wellness and motivation."
The photo was taken at the entrance to Katlian Bay at the end of the road in Sitka, Alaska.
The whale is coming up to scoop up a mouthful of herring (see the fish just below the surface).The kayaker is a local Sitka Dentist. He apparently didn't sustain any injuries from the terrifying experience.The whale was just around the corner from the ferry terminal. "Looks like this man's lights were on..." says Lee Brandon, CSCS. "Core training comes in many shapes and sizes. I often recommend trying Kayaking if you have a job that keeps you standing on your feet all day (like the dentist pictured here). Cardiovascular training and core training go hand in hand with performance. The AB-Inforcer(R) uses lights to let you know if you're training with the correct core muscles turned on in the right posture."
