Relying on crunches alone to trim your waistline is about as useful as wishing for a flatter stomach. To get results, you need to train your core to stabilize your whole body, explains Mike Robertson, co-owner of Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training.
This workout activates your entire core muscles and strengthens your back and butt muscles (slouchy shoulders and weak gluteal muscles contribute to an unflattering pooch). Do three sets of each move (10 to 12 reps per side) three days a week to see a better result fast.


Squat, holding a medicine ball next to your right hip (a). Keep
your arms straight and raise the ball up and across your body until
you’re standing and the ball is above your left shoulder (b).
Lower back to start. That’s one rep.

Hold a dumbbell and raise your right arm, keeping your elbow close to your ear (a).
Step forward with your left foot, lowering until your thigh is parallel to the floor (b).
Push off your left foot to stand up. And that’s one rep.

Get into a pushup position (a). Shift your weight to your left hand and rotate your body,
raising your right arm into the air so that your arms and torso form a T (b).
Hold for two or three seconds, then return to start. And that’s one rep.

Hold a dumbbell in your right hand, bend your knees, and lean forward from your hips (a).
Brace your abs and pull the weight up to chest height without rotating your torso (b).
Return to start. And that’s one rep.
