Just try to do a couple push-ups while holding your midsection in a straight line and you'll feel it! @ Heather, that's what this is all about - building functional strength so that you can have more options for activity in life. @ Mad Goat Lady, thanks for the props, but I only put myself up as an example to show that anyone can do this!
