- Focus on control and good form, not speed
- Mix exercises that stop movement (planks) with ones that create it (crunches)
- Breathe out as you tighten and keep the lower back from arching
Questions
What is a good abs workout for beginners?
Planks, dead bugs and crunches, two or three rounds, three times a week. Move slowly and keep your lower back pressed to the floor.
Will core exercises burn belly fat?
No exercise burns fat from one spot. A strong core plus a good diet and overall training is what shows.
How often should I train core?
Two to four short sessions a week is plenty.
