If you want a granite six-pack, these are five moves you need to include in your workouts
1. Abs wheel roll-out
Start by kneeling on the floor with your hands on the wheel handles.
Your spine should start in a neutral position and stay like that throughout the move.
Contract your abs and slowly roll the wheel away from you, making sure that you don’t let your hips drop and your back hyperextend.
When you can’t go any further without compromising good form, roll the wheel back to the start.
2. Floor flag
Start with your arms out to the sides for stability and your legs together, held just off the ground. Point your toes to maintain body alignment.
Contract your abs, start to put some weight through your arms and raise your legs above you, using this momentum to lift your bum and lower back off the floor. Stretch up as high as you can, then reverse the movement slowly.
3. Sliding towel flye
Start in a press-up position with your hands on the towels. With a slight bend in your elbows, bring your hands out to the sides, lowering your chest until it’s a fist’s width from the floor.
Pause at the bottom, then bring your hands back in.
4. Medicine ball leg raise
Grab a bar with an overhand grip and your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, holding a medicine ball between your knees.
Raise your hips and lift your thighs towards your chest, curling your lower back underneath you.
When your thighs reach your chest pause, then lower and repeat.
5. Medicine ball Russian twist
Sit on the floor with your feet in the air and knees bent, holding a dumbbell in both hands in front of your sternum.
Keeping your core braced and arms straight, rotate to one side. Then twist the other way. Return to the start again to complete one rep.
