I ditched planks for zombie sit-ups for a week — here's what happened to my core

A woman's abs.

Bored of planks and crunches? Why not try mixing things up with a killer ab exercise that targets most of the muscles in your mid-section? The zombie sit-up isn’t for the faint of heart; to find out just how hard they are, I added it to my workouts for a week and felt the difference in my abs.

Of course, like all abdominal exercises, the key here is to move with good form. This is a more advanced core exercise, so if you’re new to the move, or you’re returning to workouts following an injury or pregnancy, it’s always a good idea to check in with a personal trainer beforehand to ensure you’re not putting yourself at risk of injury.
