Get Six-Pack Abs With Zero Sit-UpsBy JASON WIMBERLY
I don't do sit-ups. I don't like crunches. How boring,
right?
Let's face it: We all know that no amount of sit-ups or crunches
will give you that sculpted midsection
you're after. A six-pack is the result of a clean diet, low body
fat and hard training. While old-fashioned
crunches are what I consider a good "finisher" at the end of
your core training, poor form often results
in not much else than a sore neck.

Instead, work your core with dynamic stabilizing moves. By
engaging more muscle groups to balance
and move, you can burn more calories and build a stable center,
which is exactly what you need to be
stronger in everything you do.
Throughout all of the following exercises, always think of being
as long and lengthened as possible. I
always tell my clients that you must train your body the way you
want it to grow. Want to be long and
lean? Stretch a little further with each rep.
Exercise 1: Twisting Leg Raises
Lying on yourback and extending your arms to your sides, lift
your legs toward the ceiling with a
comfortable bend. Keeping them squeezed together, lower them as
low as you can to the right for two
counts down, then raise them up for two counts.
Exhaling as you return to center, actively pull your belly
button into your lower back. Drop to the left
side and repeat. Make sure to keep your upper body planted on
the floor as you twist. Repeat for 15 to
20 reps per side.
