Ab Bar Take Down

The Ab Bar Take Down builds incredible core rotational strength.  You can feel it working on the very first rep!!  As seen in the video, it is a very easy set-up, using a band and a bar.  As the core musculature pulls the bar and band towards the floor; the mid-section continues to work harder and harder stimulating more muscle fibers as the band stretches and the resistance increases.  This is the goal when building strength and definition.

When I am coaching this exercise, I stress on concentrating on all the muscles in the body and “feeling” them contract throughout the movement.  Never stay fixed in one position.  Just let everything move naturally allowing your feet to pivot from side to side.

I recommend doing 2-4 sets of around 6-8 reps.  Take it slow and don’t force it.  If you do it right you won’t need more than 6-8 reps.

Stay Strong & Fit,
