DITCH YOUR 3 MINUTE ABS AND TRAIN YOUR CORE

Your core is responsible for so much in your training--whether directly or indirectly. It's important that you train your WHOLE core and all it's movements so you can get stronger, lift heavier, and move better! In this video I go over all the movements your core is responsible for and how to train those movements. Hope you enjoy!

This is not you can achieve without steroids. And no, steroids are not only for being huge. Look at her chin, for example: it is getting some male aspects due to the testosterone. Don't copy people, study and develop your training based on how your body reacts to it. You can have some insights from people training, but never copy.

[@markmiranda9292]

Interesting content. I like these alternatives to basic crunches/situps

[@coffeebean4356]

@@pavinivfx This is a very dumb rule to go by. You have teens that looks like this and those that have this kind of jaw/chin naturally. Yes, you learn from others but not everyone is using gear.

Kelly, your PT content is some of the best on KZbin. High value, to the point, actionable, no BS. Thank you. You and your team deserve the spotlight.

[@dadbod7510]

Best thing I ever did was training abs between sets. Even 10 reps between sets adds up to a big total. Targeting lower abs and obliques more gave me better total results. I'm in my 40s, not huge but cut like a sandwich. I drink beer, eat pizza but just have always trained hard since I was a teenager.

[@jow-fw9nt]

That last bit about if your tummy going into a cone shape was so helpful xx

[@sdbruh]

Yes! Definitely

[@ryandeffley7652]

The Superman is one of the most underrated and humbling core exercises there is. It initially did expose my back as the weak link. I could barely hold the pose and contraction for 20 sec and doing a plank for 2-3 min was common place for me at that point. Since adding Superman's in to my daily mobility, it has helped me a TON.

[@jpinke00]

The way you explained this made a ton of sense!

[@pattilabelle6748]

Right on time! Thanks Kelly!

[@neilbasford6003]

Kelly, Thanks for giving detailed explanations with your exercises as it helps to appreciate the real benefits.

Thank you Kelly! I've just found your channel and I love your simple, yet in depth demonstration. I've always struggled with abs, but I work with the cable machine to perform the exercises and I'm finally enjoying it

I've just tried the long plank and it seems a better ab exercise than I have been doing. So I will incorporate that one in to my program. I don't use a gym, I train at home.

I can recommend twisting very aggressively. On the knees, seated, holding a stick.

[@rfrancoi]

That was awesome. Thank you.

[@angharadhodges7486]

Thank you for this helpful video! How would you program these exercises throughout the week? One workout or more spread out across several? Sets/reps?

[@kellylmatthews]

I prefer across the week but if you do a body part split you could do them all in an ab day!

[@mid305]

[@ravecomedical9647]

Hi Kelly - Does doing lateral side bends widen the waistline ? I’ve always heard that exercise is not ideal for sculpting obliques. Doing a hip rotation / twist is better.. Your expertise is greatly appreciated. Thank you

[@shawnmann9491]

If you don’t overdue the weighted sidebend it will strengthen your side waist/obliques…the twisting can be problematic if you’re particular structure(s) aren’t favorable for them. Give them both a try and see how they feel.

[@MatthewMoscotto]

4:33 welcome to the bakery

[@kylemrf5281]

hello. do you still recommend all these exercises for those recovering from herniated disc? i am a bit hesitant on exercise that involve spinal flexion, since most PT will say to avoid flexing actions.

[@TheKardioKing]

ALL TRUTH!!!

[@lunamckinney9088]

so for these types of exercises, should you do like 3 sets each and however many reps? or are they trained different than other muscles

[@Akahustler]

I’ve got back pain problems.. do you think if It’s ok if I do these? Actually I’m tired of my belly fat .. suggestions would be appreciated

Do u have mood swing s often after getting shredded, some of my shredded friends says so. and messedup menstrual cycle too.

[@Jules-740]

Can you do one about diastasis recti?

[@privtprofile24]

I would argue training abs is more important than nutrition. I bulked and my abs became more visible at a higher bodyfat.

[@austinburwell5834]

Agreed i would even add that straight up core work is better than like training for abs or those ab routines you see

[@privtprofile24]

@@austinburwell5834 Abs routines ≠ training abs. Training abs are exercises like leg raises, decline situps, GHD situps etc.

Not even close, diet and nutrition and the most important thing, yes core is important, but so is, lower body as well as upper.. Everything goes hand to hand

What do you think is the best creatine or protein sports supplement to use?

[@dadbod7510]

None, I got kidney stones from overdoing the protein shakes. Eggs, chicken, fish, pulses, nuts are way better for you. Xantham gum in shakes is the glue of the food world and very hard for the body tonprocess

[@Ngc77]

La proteína es el mejor suplemento para recuperar el músculo y hacerlo crecer

[@ellingtonellington9060]

BTW, Kelly, as a professional bodybuilder, i must inform you that your core is not a muscle. your core is a balance and an inner energy or essence. Perhaps yo should know that!

[@sammiwright4169]

Just FYI: Your core muscles are the muscles in your midsection that attach to your spine or pelvis and stabilize your spine. They include muscles in your abdomen, lower back, and pelvis, and are also known as your trunk.

[@ellingtonellington9060]

@@sammiwright4169 That is what has been taught for years. The word itself, form its origen had nothing to do with the body but a martial arts term referring to balance and enengy, like chi. But But since you only know the product and not the process, trying to get you to see it is like trying to nail jello to a tree. Take Care. PS, try looking at some the the black girls butts here and then you will see what butt qualifies you to have one to teach. When God created black girls, He wanted us to know what a woman and a butt is suppose to look like. Peace!!
