Ah, crunches and sit-ups. An exerciser can only do so many before begging for a spiced-up routine! Luckily, all of the group exercise classes and DVDs I try provide great inspiration for a nearly endless supply of ab moves . Just one of today’s exercises is reminiscent of a sit-up, but boredom is banished by using a dumbbell as an anchor and adding a leg extension for an extra challenge. Then try two awesome plank variations to strengthen your core from all angles. (When in the base position for planks, think of keeping your body in a straight line from shoulders to heels.)
Is there a move you dread or are bored with? Let me know and we’ll try to address that in a future post!
