Burn, Baby, Burn: The Metabolism-Boosting Superset Workout

Roll-Up

Target: Deep abs

26 percent more ab flattening than a typical crunch.

Lie faceup on floor with arms extended behind head, palms up.
Engaging abs, raise arms overhead, and slowly lift shoulders and then torso off floor; hinge forward at hips to reach hands to touch toes. MAKE IT EASIER: Place a folded towel or small pillow under lower back for support.
Slowly reverse motion back to start.
Do 10 to 12 reps, then return to the Crisscross. Continue alternating until you've done 3 sets of each exercise.
