Stop doing 100s of sit-ups: I'm a personal trainer, and I use 'shoot-throughs' to build strong abs and obliques instead

A middle aged woman with strong abs.

Shoot-throughs have been around for a while, but I actually don't see them programmed much. It's a shame because this core exercise doesn't just whip up your heart rate for a cardio blast, it also works your core hard and improves balance, coordination and stability.

You don't need any equipment to do this move, but there will be some weight-bearing on your wrists, so if you find this difficult, try elevating your hands on blocks or gripping dumbbells.
