How to train your abs
Your core is the rectus abdominis, the obliques and a deep layer that stabilizes the trunk. Crunches load the rectus, leg raises its lower part, and planks teach you to keep the trunk stable.
Visible abs depend less on exercises than on body fat. That is why ab training works together with nutrition: without a calorie deficit abs stay hidden even on strong people.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I train abs?
Two or three times a week, 2-3 exercises each time. Abs recover fast, but daily training is not needed.
Can ab exercises burn belly fat?
Not on their own: fat does not leave the area you train. You need a calorie deficit, while ab work makes the muscles stronger.
