4 Weeks to Gorgeous Abs

Your Great-Abs Plan

How it works: For jaw-dropping results, you need to think outside the box. "Exercises that work every angle of your core not only give you incredible abs, they also improve your posture and reduce your risk of injury," says trainer Jeremy Cheung, owner of Twisted Twilight Personal Training in San Francisco, who put together our routine. To keep challenging your body (the key to results!), choose one move from each zone, doing an abs circuit of one exercise for your transversus abdominis, your rectus abdominis, your obliques, and your lower back, hips (Iliopsoas), and glutes.

Follow our 4-Week Plan on the following pages to structure your workouts: You'll do abs at least three times a week and follow our cardio, strength-training, and nutrition recommendations.

What you'll need: A stability ball, a pair of 2- to 5-pound dumbbells, and a mat.
