1. 21-Day Fix

I love the 21-day fix workouts because trainer Autumn brings you both an advanced and modified version, making this program literally for everyone. This program also offers you a coach to help you to achieve your goals daily. I loved this program so much that I became a coach and have helped countless lives achieve flat abs through this simple eating and exercise plan. Definite life changer!

2. Reverse Plank

When you think plank, you picture your body on your forearms, in pushup position, not on your back. But to switch up your routine, check out the reverse plank in this video and work your core.

Frequently asked questions

3. Plyometrics

Combine some core and plyometrics with this really great workout that targets your midsection. If you are doing the endless array of abdominal exercises but not combatting belly fat, you should definitely try this. Target your trouble zone and get in your best shape!

4. Jumping Rope

Ten minutes of jumping rope and working your body will help you to work your total body, lower your body fat and work your abdominal muscles. Sometimes the things we think will work, like exercises for abs that have us lying down, are not working because we really need to get up and move.

5. Cize

Break away from the abdominal workouts, squats and pushups and work your core with Cize, Shaun T’s next video. I just tried this workout for the first time and as a beachbody coach, I have to say it is one of their best programs. Move over Zumba because this workout just may be your new favorite!

6. Running

When you think of the targeted muscles of running, you probably just think of legs but that body in motion is like a continual plyometric workout. So running does target your core to help lean down your middle and get you in your best shape!

7. High Intensity Workout

Sometimes to get to the next stage of results, all you need to do is bump up your workouts, try a new workout and get a little more intense. With cardio, resistance and only short breaks, you are sure to see super results and finish your workout covered in sweat!

So now that you realize that lying down on the ground and performing crunches in not the answer to your 6 pack dreams, get focused and perform these great workouts!

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

How about an article on ways to be able to do more push-ups. I know it involves a strong core but also some muscles in the arm. I have to do 100 (not in a row), but I can do 50 right now and would like to do 75 proper push-ups.

Sounds interesting

I'll give it a try to the jumping rope workout!!!

3 is my favorite!!! Doesn't even feel like exercising!!!

How about burpees?

Never heard of cize!!
