Work On Your Core Policies

A solid centre gives stability. Fast and e ective, a hard Brexsit-up plan (sorry...) overloads your abs with a high volume of exercise over a short period. Complete three sets of these once a week, giving your utmost on all reps. And remember, it will all be over soon.

1/ CABLE CRUNCH 8 REPS, 30SEC REST

Rig a high pulley and rope attachment then kneel in front of the machine, holding the rope on either side of your neck ( A). Keeping your spine straight, crunch forward until your elbows are just above the floor ( B), then slowly straighten up to the start. Yes, it should hurt.

2/ BOSU BALL CRUNCH 8 REPS, 30SEC REST

Lay over the bosu ball, keeping it in the centre of your spine ( A). With both feet flat on the floor, crunch upward, contracting your abs ( B). Slowly lower back down, guiding your abs through their full range of motion. If you’re wobbling, your core isn’t tight enough.

3/ REVERSE CRUNCH 8 REPS, 30SEC REST

Lie flat on your back with your hands by your side, legs raised at a 45- degree angle to the floor ( A). Draw your knees towards your chest, feeling the burn, then return to the start ( B). Your lower abs will thank you in the long run. Go back to the start and repeat twice more.
