Re: Shoaib's work out video
I know boxers from quetta use to do same. They had mountains real close to the city. And the use to run uphill. ibrar husian shah held record of going up on the top in fastest time. Then some footballer even did it in better time. I guess it was like a tradition among athletes in quetta.
Yes, any kind of a workout routine that you do yourself is miles better and delivers more results. Athletes use both kinds of processes, relying more on manual routines.
Ab work out is not a "work out" for athletes.
Correct, it cannot be classified as such. To the above, I will add that the fat stored around abs is one of the last things to leave your body. Love handles have to go before then.
