Great comments Marguerite, Carey and Ali. Great suggestion Carey on the overhead squats. I also like overhead lunges and overhead step ups. The abs get more engaged with the overhead movements. :) Scott Thanks! Great comments Marguerite, Carey and Ali. Great suggestion Carey on the overhead squats.

I make an extra effort to tell my clients during class that every exercise is challenging their core. And most people don't realize that most if not all movements come from abdominal (core) stabilization. Hey but that's what we are here for right. Good post. Scott-

I tell my clients that squat or better yet, overhead squat is the best "abs" exercise. To no surprise, they don't believe me in the place until they try. In fact, most can't do squat, not to mention overhead squat, properly in the beginning.

I always look forward to reading your info.
