Strengthen your abs and improve your performance with this quick session. Strong and solid midsections are widely sought after, with exercisers regularly subjecting themselves to endless sit-ups, planks and crunches in pursuit of one. But according to experts, there are more focused and effective ways to train your abs.
“Whenever somebody asks for the best workout, I always ask, ‘for what?’ Are you training to look good and have a nice six-pack, to be strong for heavy squats and deadlifts, or to hit the ball further in golf? What I’ve tried to do is tick as many boxes as possible with these three exercises.” he says.
The three moves cover the three planes of motion the body moves in: sagittal (up, down, forwards and backwards), frontal (side to side) and transverse (twisting). By doing this combination, the three moves not only promise to build mid-body strength and muscle, but can also improve your mobility and reduce your injury risk too.
“Two to four sets of six to 15 reps is quite a big range to aim for, I’m aware, but for some people two sets of six reps might be tough, and for others four sets of 15 will be doable,” Grossmann explains. Try each exercise before you dive into the full workout, then decide on a target number of sets and reps that will challenge you without being unachievable.
