No you can’t spot reduce the fat around your middle by doing a bazillion crunches or sit ups…
BUT focused ab work can help you get that lean, defined core when your nutrition is dialed in.
Yet too often we skip the core work.
If we add it in, it’s an afterthought.
And too often we think we’ve done even enough core work because we’ve included heavy lifts like squat and deadlift.
And while those moves do benefit your core, they’re working it only in one way…to stabilize.
But our abs power spinal flexion and don’t only resist extension or stabilize.
Not to mention our obliques twist and turn, and laterally flex not to mention help us prevent unwanted rotation.
This means we want to target all of these movement patterns to see the best results.
That’s why I want to share a few of my favorite core moves, specifically two moves focused on your abs, to train these muscles both with flexion and anti-extension exercises to not only help you build a stronger core but a more defined one.
However, first I want to touch on two essentials to core training that will help you see better results faster and are too often IGNORED…
I’ll then also show you how to use my favorite moves while addressing these two key components…

One cue I remember from your early vids is actually "which muscle do I feel working now ?" . I keep it in mind every time ! Haven't tried your version of reverse crunch yet, will do it ASAP ! Plank saws with sliders DESTROY my abs for 4-5 days every time I incorporate them into my WOs. They're deceivingly difficult !

I don't know why but last year I discovered that I couldn't do a reverse crunch with my legs extended. I hadn't done one in years. But I used to be able to do them. So I wasn't sure when I stopped being able to do them. I have had an MRI done which showed degenerative disc's, a disc out of place and arthritis in my back. This is partly why I've wanted to strengthen my core. The other reason is just that I want a stronger core. So I'm gonna do the reverse crunch with the foam roller. I have a nordic stick that attaches underneath my door. I also use it to attach battle ropes to. So I'll do the overhead grip onto that. Thanks for the inspo and the info Cori.

@@redefiningstrengthOC it's interesting that you mentioned glute work. The things that I used to do that left my glutes sore like kettlebell swings, Bulgarian split squats, etc don't leave me feeling as sore as before. I thought maybe I've just gotten used to doing them. But it is definitely a difference.

You should also be straightening your glutes along with abs to relieve back pain and sciatica as well. They work in conjunction. I only learned this last year. Seems like the foundation to me.

Jeremy Ethier has an interesting video on research showing spot reduction is sort of possible - with research showing where the body burns fat from can be influenced on what muscles are doing activity and without enough of a load being placed on the abs, there isn't the catalyst to burn fat from that area. That could explain why it's so difficult especially for women to lose weight around the middle since weighted ab exercises isn't something most women do.
@redefiningstrengthOC
@redefiningstrengthOC 24 дня назад
I actually touch on that research in this post about losing belly fat. And while interesting and a big change, seeing enough client's diets, I would argue it is also often our macros, and specifically a change in protein that pays off most. And the cherry on top is that we do use specified core work followed by ways to utilize those mobilized fatty acids to help get the benefit of spot lipolysis for areas that lack blood flow - redefiningstrength.com/why-93-of-women-never-lose-belly-fat?sl=yc

Always a way to modify even these moves. You may find the plank extensions off a higher box or incline match your needs.

But you may also find these moves helpful - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dr6nSwHcaQI.html Glad you're focusing on that nutrition! SO KEY!

Depends on what other core work your including and your overall workout design and schedule - we always want to design for the time you have.

I often even like to include them for timed circuits to focus less on counting reps and more on what I feel working.

So while putting core work earlier on to mobilize fatty acids to be utilized can be key, just be careful of isolated core work that fatigues your core prior to heavy lifting. That can then lead to other muscles becoming overused because our abs are tired and not engaging as effectively...especially with things like deadlift.
