Abbie Dennison, a Gymshark athlete and coach, shares her top three ab exercises for building a strong, stable core. These exercises focus on trunk flexion, oblique work, and control and stability, rather than just sculpting the abs. By incorporating these moves into your routine, you can improve your overall core strength and target multiple muscle groups. Denison recommends alternating v-sits, ankle taps, and plank pull-throughs, which can be performed as a mini circuit or built into an existing ab workout. She emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to core training, including resistance training, lifting, sleep quality, and a high-protein diet. As a trainer, I would suggest performing each exercise for 45-50 seconds with a 10-15 second rest, repeating for 5 rounds. This approach can help you build a strong and stable core, improve your posture, and protect your lower back. By incorporating these exercises into your routine, you can take your fitness to the next level and feel more powerful and confident.
