I asked a Gymshark athlete to name her 3 favorite ab exercises — the answer surprised me
These are the 3 ab exercises a Gymshark athlete swears by — and they might surprise you.
When inquiring about three of her favorite ab exercises, Gymshark athlete Abbie Dennison shared her top picks. The ab exercises selected by Dennison provide a mix of trunk flexion, oblique work, and control and stability. These moves include alternating v-sits, ankle taps, and plank pull-throughs. Dennison emphasizes the importance of training the entire core, rather than solely focusing on ab muscles.
She explains that the core encompasses all the muscles around the trunk, helping stabilize the spine and pelvis while transferring force between upper and lower body. Dennison's preferred ab exercises offer a more functional, multi-plane approach, targeting various muscle groups and improving overall core strength, stability, and posture.
She recommends performing each exercise for 45-50 seconds with a 10-15 second rest, repeating for five rounds. These exercises can be incorporated into a broader strength program or built into an existing ab workout.
