KOYour Ab Workout Is Making Your Belly Worse
Stop doing ab workouts that are way too hard for you if you’re trying to lose your belly.
I see this all the time. People jump straight into crazy core exercises—hanging leg raises, advanced crunch variations, or brutal ab circuits—thinking that’s the fastest way to get a six-pack.
But here’s the reality: if you can only do one rep… or zero reps… that workout isn’t helping you.
It’s just frustrating you, burning you out, and sometimes even injuring your back.
Instead, you need movements that actually build momentum.
In my program we use something called the Momentum Method (M&M). The idea is simple: start with regressive exercises that still activate your core, but are easier on the body so you can build strength without breaking yourself.
One of my favorites is the medicine ball slam. You reach overhead, engage your core, and slam the ball down using your entire body. It’s a full-body movement, so you’re activating your core while also burning more calories because more muscles are working.
Another great one is banded wood chops. This movement forces your core to stabilize while your upper and lower body move together. It’s powerful, controlled, and great for building rotational core strength.
And if you’re just starting out, try an assisted plank. Instead of forcing a full plank and collapsing after a few seconds, keep your knees on the ground. You’re still activating the core, but with less stress on your body. As you get stronger, you can progress to a full plank.
Remember this: a baby crawls before it walks.
Don’t destroy your body trying to rush results. Build strength step by step, and the fat loss will follow.
