Woman doing crunches

‘How to get a six-pack’ is a highly searched fitness-related question that crops up in Google all year round. In April alone it had over 300,000 searches, which isn’t surprising as people are usually keen to ramp up the workouts and get in shape for the summer months ahead.

My workout regime consists of a lot of heavy weightlifting and while many of the big compound movements, such as squats and deadlifts, do work your core, I was aware that I’d abandoned doing some isolation core exercises (the type of exercises that just target your core muscles). My deep core muscles are ‘ok’ because of the style of training I do (I’ll be completing more challenges for those though as they could do with a little extra work, so watch this space) but I was keen to get my stomach a little more defined. Could doing 100 crunches a day for a week really change my torso? Read on to find out.
