Abs are so important to train because it helps your posture and strength with other workouts. Activating your inner ab muscles that are almost like a corset pulling your core in is just as important as activating your outer abs, that are responsible for the 6-pack look.
Planks – must be done!
They target the whole of your core, specifically the inner abs. Once you can do 3 sets for more than 1-2 minutes, you can start adding weights on your back for more challenge. Alternatively, lift one leg up.
- Russian twists
- V-sit
- Hanging knee raise (with pull up bar)
- Lying leg raise
- Gorilla crunch
