Intro to ab workouts

Lots of people workout with strengthening and sculpting their ab muscles in mind, but it’s not only six-pack seekers that should incorporate them into their workout routine. Strong and healthy abs have a range of health benefits including everything from building core strength to nailing your posture. Working on your abs can help with overall fitness and benefit other areas of fitness too, like running, swimming, and more.
