Tired of the same old, monotonous ab exercises? You aren’t alone. Thankfully, there are ways to spice up your core workouts while keeping on top of your fitness goals.
Fitness coach and Sweat app co-founder Kayla Itsines has devised an invigorating ab routine that incorporates fresh moves into your workouts, challenging your core muscles in new and engaging ways. By incorporating unique variations and stimulating combinations, this workout not only adds excitement but also ramps up the intensity.
Before you get stuck into Itsines’ routine, remember that getting visible abs forms one part of core training, and there are various other reasons to strengthen these muscles; a strong core improves posture, helps you lift heavier weights and supports your torso and spine during movement. If building visible abs is your goal, you'll need to focus on your overall body fat percentage — here's how to calculate your body fat percentage, and why it matters.
