Core exercises...

Hey all-

Looking for some real good, challenging core exercises. I have a relatively flat stomach, but it's not nearly as toned as I'd like. I also am looking for some good oblique exercises. I've posted this as a part of other threads, but I figured I'd try here and see what's suggested. I know that I can google this and get tons and tons of results, but I'm just asking what has worked the best for YOU! :flowerforyou:

    I do something called "Burpees" and I can feel it through my whole body. Here are the general instructions, but you can look it up on the web for videos on how to do them and such:

    Burpees are when you start from a stand, crouch down on your hands and kick your feet out to a push-up stance (or plank), do a push up, bring your feet back up so you are squat then jump up reaching your hands over your head and get back into a standing position (make sure you bend your knees on the way down so not to injure them). Repeat

    They recommend about 10-12 reps. By the 9th my jumps aren't quite as high as my first, but they are definitely improving. It is both a cardio and a strength that uses just about every muscle.

    Good luck on the toning!

    I like the 30 day shred with good abs and lots of planks.

    I am loving the ab and core workout I get from my Slim in 6 workouts. I do Slim & 6-Pack and then Cardio Core Express every other day. I am almost 50, and my core is in the best shape it's ever been in my whole life.
