It wraps your whole midsection \u2014 front, sides and back \u2014 and its real job is stability: keeping your spine safe while your arms and legs move. Training only crunches works one small slice of that system, in one direction. A complete routine trains flexion, rotation, anti-rotation and bracing, which is also what carries over to how you look, lift and move every day.<\/p>\n<p>Twice or three times a week, do three rounds of: dead bugs (10 slow reps per side) for deep core control; forearm plank (30\u201360 seconds) for bracing; side plank (30 seconds per side) for the obliques and waist; and glute bridges (15 reps) because the core works as a team with the glutes and lower back. Rest a minute between rounds. Every rep should be slow enough that you could stop mid-rep \u2014 if momentum is doing the work, the muscle isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>You can build a strong core under any amount of body fat, but seeing it depends on overall fat loss, which is driven mostly by what you eat. That is not bad news \u2014 it means your training time can stay short and focused while a modest calorie deficit and enough protein do the revealing. Anyone selling you a gadget that promises visible abs without the nutrition part is selling you the gadget, not the result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forget thousand-crunch workouts.
