Una visión nueva de los abdominales, un trabajo abdominal sin ninguna presión sobre el perineo, alternando el estiramiento y la contracción de cada uno de los 8 músculos, y en movimiento constantemente aeróbico. Los abdominales son ejercicios que se practican habitualmente en los centros de entrenamiento corporal, casi siempre para mantener la línea, conservar o recuperar el vientre plano .Sin embargo, debemos saber que utilizar exclusivamente la fuerza de los abdominales no es suficiente para conseguir un vientre plano y darle prioridad al desarrollo de estos músculos no está exento de riesgos: los abdominales ejecutados sin control o erróneamente pueden perjudicar el perineo, la pared del vientre y los discos intervertebrales. Por otro lado, lo cierto es que cuando esta fuerza falla, resulta útil ejercitar los abdominales. En la línea de trabajo de Blandine Calais-Germain, Abdominales sin riesgo propone nuevos ejercicios de abdominales, concebidos a partir de la estructura anatómica del cuerpo y respetándola. Al mismo tiempo, la obra no duda en cuestionar ciertas ideas preconcebidas referentes a estos músculos. Gracias a sus tres niveles de lectura, la obra expone las precauciones a tomar al practicar los ejercicios sin abdominales más corrientes y nos permite la mejor práctica posible en función de los resultados deseados. Una obra dirigida a todas las personas que practiquen abdominales, en campos tan diversos como el yoga, la danza, el aquagym, el circo, el canto o las artes marciales, así como a aquellos que enseñan, cinesioterapeutas o profesores de educación física
