Sit-ups have been a long standing favourite in the world of ab exercises. But if you don’t like them, or struggle with floor-based exercises, then there’s plenty of alternatives out there that can actually offer the same (if not more benefits), like this three-move workout. There's not a single sit-up in sight and, as well as being great for your abs, these exercises are excellent for your core too. All you're going to need is a pair of dumbbells and your phone timer.
The hard truth is that six-packs are predominantly made in the kitchen, with a clean diet and eating in a calorie deficit. However, incorporating some weights into your routine can definitely help. According to MiraFit: "By adding in some weight to your ab training, you’ll be giving your body the stimulus it needs to adapt and grow – so you can start seeing some real results." They continue: "Abs are like any muscle. If you want them to be more defined, you need to progress your training. This means working your way up in weight load, to get stronger, more developed abs."
