I was inspired to do a series of videos on Core and Ab exercises due to the number of questions I have received on the subject. Everyone wants a flat stomach it is a sign of good health and a solid physique. Getting a flat stomach is not obtained through exercise alone, it requires three elements.
1. Diet - Eating right is crucial to getting a flat stomach.
2. Cardio - running, circuit training, walking, jumping rope, or punching the bag anything that elevates your heart rate so that you become a calorie burning machine.
3. Core exercises - Working out your abs alone won't get you a flat stomach it requires using multi layered muscle exercises that work the muscles between your neck and your hips.
This video covers the 5 exercises that I use regularly combined within routines and within my own core workouts.
1. Around the world - Shoulder and Core
2. Straight Bicep curl - Arm and Core
3. Ab Roll Out - Abs and Core
4. Shoulder Push Press - Shoulder and Core
5. Plank - Abs and Core
Here is an example of how to use these exercises within your routine and as a workout on their own.
Workout your Core and Abs between 2 to 3 times a week.
AROUND THE WORLD & SHOULDER PUSH PRESS
CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO YOUR SHOULDER WORKOUT
3 TO 4 SETS / 10 TO 12 REPS
USE A WEIGHT YOU CAN COMPLETE ALL SETS WITH
STRAIGHT ARM BICEP CURL
CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO YOUR ARM WORKOUT
3 TO 4 SETS / 10 TO 12 REPS
USE A WEIGHT YOU CAN COMPLETE ALL SETS WITH
Core workout 1 example.
Add this to the end of your regular workout routine.
Do this in circuit training format:
Circuit training is when you complete one exercise then proceed to the next exercise.
Straight bar Bicep curl - 10 to 12 reps
Rest 15 seconds
move on to next exercise
Ab Roll Out - 10 to 12 reps rest 15 seconds -

Awesome vid man. Good instructions and everything. You know what I learned as an added bonus on the Around the World? Do it with a towel and a squat. You will feel it. It adds an extra motion and demands more stability with the arms, and the core, and then with the squat adds with the legs. Roll out looks harder with the swissball. Good exercises as they help different parts of the body. Awesome Job Nat!

Hey Nat, The ab rollout is a great exercise because you can do it just about anywhere where you have something that rolls. It's like planking with motion. An article by Duane Johnson in Esquire agrees that it works great because of the reaction of your fast twitch reflexes. These are the nerve fibers that react to danger and tighten up your to the possibility of falling.
Great vid, Nat. Hope to see more soon.
