Five Ab Exercises To Warm Up
If you want to take your workouts to the next level, start with your middle. Your core contracts first in every exercise and then the energy is transferred to the limbs. In order to prime your core muscles, so they fire better during your other workout, you need to train your core first. By training your torso when your muscles are fresh, you will achieve the fastest gains.
Performing classic ab moves like crunches and knee-ins at the beginning of your workout to warm up the muscles, you will be able to lift more weights, work more muscle and burn more calories later on.
