The Bender Method: Hype Or Killer Ab Workout?

Millions of people want finely-sculpted abdominal muscles. For most, it’s merely a dream. For others, it’s a goal that they’ll do anything to achieve. Recently, a new model for core training, strength-building and creating chiseled abs has emerged. Since its launch, it has catapulted into the limelight; partially because of its technique and partially due to the controversy that surrounds it. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the Bender Method of Core Training. We’ll uncover how the method works, if it truly can help you create devastating ab muscles and whether you should believe the hype.

The Method Behind The Madness

The Bender Method exercises your abdominals with the use of the Bender Ball. According to Leslee Bender, the creator of the method, you can’t truly sculpt your ab muscles without the help of the Bender Ball. When positioned correctly, Bender claims the ball uniquely focuses the workout’s intensity on the muscles that are often hardest to reach. By targeting those muscles, her method helps a person develop and sculpt harder abdominal muscles more easily than conventional exercises.

Calling this system Selective Stabilization, Bender says that it’s over 400% more effective than ordinary crunches. So, people can develop the muscles in that area more quickly than would otherwise be possible.

Is The Hype True?

Any weight control and body-sculpting system will have its share of supporters and critics. When the Bender Method was released, it attracted attention from both camps. Devotees claimed the method worked and they had the rock-hard abdominals to prove it. The critics retorted that the Bender Method was unnecessary and people could sculpt their abdominals without it or Bender’s Selective Stabilization system.

In truth, Leslee Bender is correct. The ball and the workout combine to provide pressure and stress against the ab muscles that are usually difficult to reach with traditional exercises. By placing the Bender Ball under the back, it offers both support and flexibility to target the lower abs while also working out the sides and upper abdominals.

How Far Will You Go For Abs?

If you’re considering investing in a set of sculpted abs, the Bender Method of Core Training costs very little (at under $13, it costs less than a medium pizza). But, price is rarely a good barometer of effectiveness. The true worth of the Bender Method is in the workout and your devotion to it. If you perform the exercises as described in the manual, you will develop chiseled abdominal muscles. Like all exercise programs, buying the materials doesn’t yield results. Using them does. The same is true for Bender’s system.

In The Package

When you invest in the Bender Method, you’ll receive a package that includes several items. First, you’ll receive the Bender Ball, used exclusively for this system. Second, you’ll receive a manual that describes, in step-by-step detail, all of the exercises you’ll need to perform to achieve your chiseled abs. Third, the package includes 1 DVD. On this DVD, you’ll find videos of others doing the exercises. These videos eliminate any confusion you might have about how to perform the workouts. They include both the Bender Method of Core Training and the Bender Method of Buns & Thighs.

If you’ve been thinking about developing your abdominals, but always considered it a dream, take a peek at what many fans are calling a miracle workout. You may find that creating devastating abs is within your grasp, after all.
