Your abdominals, or "core", are made up of many different muscles that are classified into two groups—the "outer" and "inner." Most people focus on the "outer" abs to get that washboard look, however, do not overlook those "inner" abdominals. These muscles are responsible for core and spine stability and are especially important for those who have back problems or sit all day.
- Slow it down.
- Change the angle.
- Challenge the stability.
Change the angle with an incline or decline to allow the abdominals to activate on a more intense level. It is important to control of your movement so your abs do the work, not gravity. Do oblique crunches on a decline bench to challenge your core with angles.
To challenge the stability of an exercise simply change the environment. Incorporate balance into your exercises. Activate your "inner" and "outer" core muscles by balancing. For Ross, this is one of the best ways to get great abs without adding weight or machines.
Some examples are:
- Beginner: Plank on the floor
- Intermediate: Plank on the floor with a leg extension
- Advance: Plank on a physioball
