Have you ever wondered if you’re doing your ab exercises wrong or right? Well, we have lots of posts that show the best way to do ab moves, but this one shows how to determine if you’re contracting your abs properly.
Is Your Ab Contraction Bouncy or Sexy?
Did you even know there’s a “proper” way to contract? Let’s put it this way – did you know that if you “push” on your contraction, you’ll have strong abs, but they’ll stick out? Strong, not cute. But if you follow the tips in the video, your abs will be strong and cute. Just like you!
Now that you know how to contract your abs properly, here is a core workout series, that will get you some fab abs. Yup. Fabulous Abs!
Readers: What abdominal/core move do you love that you suspect you could be doing wrong?
Well, I definitely want my abs to be sexy and strong and cute! I was going to work on a winter long program of core strengthening and flexibility and now…where did the winter go? It’s nearly over! Thanks for the tips!
Winter took your abs on a walk to the donut store, I believe. Or perhaps they hibernated?! Hmmmm, spring isn’t here for another month and a half, so there’s hope!

So important to do it right so the neck is not strained and I opt for strong and cute! I think I’ll do some now.

I have a big problem with my tummy, but I really have a hard time to do the sit ups. Watching this video makes me realize that I can, so I will start this now.. Thanks for making me realize.

Yeah! I don’t bounce (at least not there anyways…).
Shall we hand out cans of tuna at our next group fit classes? Maybe there’s a brand out there that would sponsor the tuna tummy crunch challenge?

Work it, ladies! You are so smart. I think I did it wrong for a long time but belly dance taught me how to control my core muscles individually (they’re a rowdy bunch) and that made all the difference. But I only thought I knew where my abs were until I started doing Pure Barre and they actually pull the core inwards (towards your spine) – like a reverse flex (?) or maybe we’re just sucking it in… – and I found all new muscles! Muscles that are now extra hurty.
Now I’m hungry for tuna and cereal…
PS Your quote of the week is killing me.

Nice! What a neat little trick. For the record, I’d probably take either strong OR cute abs right about now, but now I’ll shoot for both!

Love a video that has a tuna can for an example. I pinned this because I think many of us don’t have proper sit-up form. Thanks!
