Quotes from the Video

"Why in the world would you want to do that?"

"For the majority of things we do, we're upright."

"We call those things that may not be working right... asymptomatic dysfunction."

"The program is isolated. You're trying to not get the other muscles to contract."

"The program to activate the abdominal muscles is going to give us an indication of where we might not be functioning optimally."

"How do you turn on the abdominals?" (Find out Dave's answer!)
