Engage Your Core Muscles The Right Way With THIS 10 Minute Abs Circuit Workout
When you think of exercise for the abdominal muscles, the first thing that comes to mind is often sit-ups or crunches, which involve lying on the ground with your knees up and raising your torso off the ground. While these exercises certainly strengthen your core, they often are not the best way to tone and flatten your tummy, since it is so easy to accidentally use your neck muscles and hip flexors instead of your abdominals, which can strain them while allowing your abs to rest.
