If you're anything like us at the end of your workout, you probably hit an ab mat. You could do cardio, raise a few weights, and then plop down to make your core work. The thing is you're probably exhausted by that point, making it easy to compromise your form when the time comes for abs.
With this issue, you're not the only one, so we asked fitness guru Jillian Michaels to show us how to repair three common moves that will surely whip your core into shape.
Place your hands under your armpits, and do not put your hands on your arms. Then change your feet so that they are separated by shoulder width. Next, pull your weight forward so that your arms feel the burn.
Side plank push-up
Bring the feet together, bringing them slightly tighter for a regular pushup than they would be. Stack your feet on top of each other as you twist into the side plank pose and lift your hips towards the sky.
Climbers from the mountains
Make sure that your knees are kicked into your chest instead of your elbows. Also you'll want to round your back slightly to engage your heart.
