SIX-PACK STARTS HERE

Do these innovative abs moves to get the midsection you've always wanted

- 

There's one thing you need to understand before you start your workout quest for a six-pack. Doing endless crunches is not going to give you six-pack abs. There are two reasons for this.

First of all, they'll do nothing to remove the layer of body fat that is currently covering your midsection (unless your body fat is as low as eight per cent). Second, they don’t adequately work all the muscles of your midsection. So, to get that cover model look, you need to do big moves that burn fat. Then you complement them with abs moves that really test the target muscles, such as the ones in this section.

1 Vertical twist Sets 4 Reps 10

• Lie on your back with your feet together and your legs straight up in the air.

• Raise your hips off the ground and twist to the right until your legs are at 45° to the floor. Make sure you lower slowly and under control, using your muscles to control the move rather than letting gravity do the work.

• Return to the top of the move and repeat to the left. Alternate with each rep.

2 Plank walkout

Sets 3 Reps 15

Turn the humble plank into a dynamic test of abdominal strength and core stability

• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend forward at the waist until your hands reach the floor with your body in an inverted V.

• Walk your hands out until your body is in a straight line and your hands are directly beneath your shoulders.
