Six serious moves from top Olympic trainers will score you a rock-solid and ready-to-bare middle in just four weeks.
Do it
Train your core with these moves three nonconsecutive days a week. Either do them all together as a stand-alone workout or add three or four of them to the end of your usual strength-training routine. For each move, start with one set. Once you complete all the reps with perfect form, add another.

Hanging Straight-Leg Raise
Targets lower abs
Hang from a pullup bar with your hands shoulder-width apart and your hips centered under your body so there's a straight line from your hands to the bottom of your hips (A). Keeping your legs and back straight and using a slow, controlled motion, raise your legs until they're parallel to the floor (B). Slowly lower your legs. That's one rep. Do four to six. Feeling extra energetic? Try to raise your feet above 90 degrees.
Perfect form
As you raise your legs, don't swing them or let momentum do the work. Concentrate on keeping your butt down, as if you're sitting on a chair.
