Who doesn’t want great abs, right?! Well abs don’t come easy for most (especially after 4 babies) but they are important to keep strong not just for looks but for injury protection. A strong core is the foundation for a healthy sound body.

Crunches are usually the go-to exercise for ab work but it turns out that really they are not that effective. There are lots of exercises that actually work BETTER than crunches to truly tighten your midsection and build core strength.

Here are a few of my favorites…….

Squat jump (see video)
