Abs

A foundational isometric hold that builds core stability.

Hanging Leg Raise

A demanding hanging movement for the lower abs and hip flexors.

Cable Crunch

A weighted, kneeling crunch that adds resistance to a basic movement.

Bicycle Crunch

A rotational movement that works the obliques alongside the abs.

Ab Wheel Rollout

A demanding anti-extension movement for total core control.

Crunch

The classic ab exercise

Dead Bug

A slow, controlled core-stability exercise that trains the abs to resist movement while the limbs move independently.

Mountain Climber

A dynamic plank variation that combines core stability with a cardio element, driving the knees toward the chest alternately.

Side Plank

A lateral isometric hold that targets the obliques, the side muscles of the core that front-facing exercises often miss.

Heel Touches

A gentle oblique-focused movement performed lying down, reaching alternately toward each heel.

Standing Cable Woodchopper

A standing rotational movement using a cable, training the obliques through a diagonal chopping pattern.

Lying Leg Raise

A floor-based leg raise that targets the lower abs without the grip demands of a hanging variation.

V-Up

A full-body crunch that brings the torso and legs together simultaneously, forming a V shape at the top.

Reverse Crunch

A crunch variation that lifts the hips and lower body instead of the upper body, emphasizing the lower abs.

Stability Ball Crunch

A crunch performed on a stability ball, increasing the range of motion and adding a balance component.

Toe Touches

A leg-raise variation that combines a straight-leg lift with an upper-body reach toward the toes.

Flutter Kicks

A continuous, alternating leg movement performed lying down that builds lower-ab endurance through sustained tension.

Hollow Body Hold

An isometric hold that trains total core compression and control, borrowed from gymnastics training.

Decline Sit-Up

A sit-up performed on a decline bench, increasing the range of motion and resistance compared to a floor sit-up.

Dragon Flag

An extremely demanding full-body core exercise made famous by Bruce Lee, requiring significant total-body strength and control.

Weighted Russian Twist
