After kids and daily stress, you may have let your gut go. Fret no more — you still have time to transform
that core from flabby to flat with our flat abs makeover. Incorporate
these 19 core-sculpting moves into your fitness routine while coupling it with a clean diet and watch your chiseled midsection emerge.
1. Stability Ball V-Pass: This
is a surefire way to trigger your core muscles with an added glutes and
hamstrings bonus. This is a crunch made fun with the ball pass element. Get details on this move here.
2. Side Plank Thread the Needle: Engage your entire core in plank mode with an added emphasis on the love handles with
this side plank with movement. Use weights, a water bottle or even can
of food for added strength training. No equipment (excuses) needed!Learn

3. Crab Twist: We love exercises that serve double duty. This core blaster is an oblique obliterator which
also engages the upper body and forces you to focus on stability and
movement. Watch the video below, then get details on this move here.
4. Plank Jack: This
move is another double whammy, engaging the core with a plank focused
on movement while continuing to maintain good form. This incorporates a cardio element that will raise your heart rate while working the core. For more info on the plank jack, click here after watching the video below!
5. Forearm Plank: This
is a core exercise that focuses on little movement while isolating core
muscles. Increasing the time that you can hold this plank is a great
indicator of improved core strength. Learn how to do this plank here.
6. Russian Twist with Kettlebell: The
added weight takes the Russian Twist up a notch, but you can also use a
hand weight or water bottle. Or you can modify the move to make it a
little easier with no weight at all until you are ready to progress! For
more information, click here.
7. Pushup: Most
people only give credit to the pushup for upper body strength, but it’s
also a great test of strength for the core as you work to perfect
pushup form. Make sure you’re doing pushups properly by checking your form here!
