We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again — when it comes to working your abs, you’ll often get the best results if you focus on adding shorter ab workouts to the end of full-body, functional workouts.
Our resident personal trainer, Sam Hopes, put it like this: “If your goal this year is to achieve stronger, more defined core muscles, we recommend expanding your ab exercise repertoire to include compound moves. You could still target muscles like your glutes (yep, they’re core muscles), internal and external obliques, transverse abdominis (a deep belt of core muscles that hug your trunk), and erector spinae (muscles that support your spine) — to name a few.”
