Tighten your core!
Using six of the top exercises for a flat stomach, we created this workout to target the different core muscles while burning calories for fat loss. Mountain climbers are one exercise that’s great for raising your heart rate, while engaging your core muscles to hold you steady in the position. So, it burns calories and strengthens muscles. Leg raises target your lower abs, sit ups your upper abs, and Russian twists your obliques. With this workout, you’ll engage all the important ab muscles to get real, visible results.
