The abdominals are more complex than they may seem — and plenty of people are still training them wrong. Who can blame us, though, for the confusion? After all, the misinformation began early, with schools touting old-fashioned sit-ups as a measure of strength, giving generations of kids the best damn hip flexors the world over.
These days, we know better and have learned that to train your core completely, you need to work the rectus abdominis (your “six-pack”) as well as your obliques and transverse abdominis. The following five exercises accomplish just that, especially if you follow our “Sculpt This, Not That” advice to keep the tension where it needs to be. Use the Core-Centric Circuit after a cardio session or on a total-body training day, and use the T-AB-ata as a finisher to any workout.
