Core Sense

Concentrating just on crunches and your rectus abdominis to reduce your fluffy center and get a six pack just won't work!!!  Why, you may ask?  First of all you cannot spot reduce your trouble areas.  Second, your abs are mostly a result of how clean you eat.  And finally, your ab work needs to address all of your core muscles and not just one set (the rectus abdominis). 

Tips To Keep In Mind:
1) Be sure and pair your abs exercises with lower back work to balance out and address your whole core.
2) Always engage your core during your daily activities as well as during every strength training activity you do.
3) Flexing moves such as crunches target your rectus abdominis.  Planks address your core stability.  Rotational movements such as twisting lunges target your obliques. 

"Don't let age dictate what you can and can't do for abs training.  Let your ability dictate that."
