Its not about just crunches anymore! If you truly want to see a change in your abs – (outside of changing some nutritional/dietary habits) you need to tone and condition your entire core. You have to work the frontal, posterior, lateral, transverse and the entire collective chain of your core unit. So today I wanted to share a handful of exercises that put together do just that.
