Twisting Crunch
Similar to the twist crunch, this move emphasizes continuous rotational tension in the abdominals to build functional core strength.

The Best Abs Exercises
Top Exercises
Tuck Crunch
Targets the upper and lower abdominals. The simultaneous movement of the torso and knees maximizes the contraction of the rectus abdominis.

Stability Ball Crunch
A classic core builder that utilizes an unstable surface to recruit more muscle fibers. It primarily strengthens the upper abdominals and improves spinal stability.

Sideways Lifts Vertical
Targets the medial deltoids through a vertical range of motion. It builds shoulder roundness and improves overall upper-body silhouette.

Seated Side Crunch
Targets the obliques and lateral core. The seated position allows for a focused lateral flexion that improves side-waist strength.

Seated Leg Raise
An isolation exercise for the lower abs and hip flexors. It builds the strength needed for more advanced hanging leg raises.

Seated In Out Leg Raise on Floor
Targets the lower abdominals and hip flexors. It improves core endurance and control through a continuous "in and out" pumping motion.

Russian Twist
A rotational core move for the obliques. It improves spinal mobility and trains the core to handle rotational forces, essential for many sports.

Reverse Crunch
A fundamental lower-abdominal movement. By curling the pelvis toward the ribs, it targets the lower portion of the rectus abdominis effectively.

Resistance Band Lying Leg Raise
A core exercise that targets the lower abdominals and hip flexors. The band adds extra resistance during the eccentric phase.

Quarter Sit-Up
A sit-up variation focusing on the high-tension initial phase of the movement. It minimizes hip flexor involvement while isolating the upper abs.
View more
March Sit
A core and hip flexor exercise. The marching motion challenges pelvic stability while the seated position isolates the abdominal wall.
