4 Ab Series You Should Try

Who doesn't love a good ab series? While doing 100 situps a day may not create a six-pack, we know by now that ab work (or core work) is vital in getting stronger and staying healthy. Just like any other muscle, when you do train it, you build the muscle underneath. By leaning out with proper nutrition, then you can show and display the muscle. (Hello 6 pack.) Here are a few series I've done myself and with clients lately. Give them a try!
