If your fitness program has become boring, try adding a new element to it to improve your results.. Instead of traditional crunches, try dynamic weights to better activate your abdominal muscles..

While it's not possible to reduce fat in specific areas, exercises targeting the obliques, rectus, and transversus muscles strengthen your core, improving your stability, reducing the risk of injury, and improving overall performance.. Eat This, Not That explained what exercises will help you achieve this result..

Crunches  Sit on the floor with your knees bent and hold a dumbbell, kettlebell or plates in both hands.. Bend back, lift your legs and rotate your torso to the left, lowering the weight near your left hip. Then repeat the exercise to the right. Do 3 sets of 15-20 repetitions.

Leg Raises  Lie on your back with your legs extended and a dumbbell between your feet.. Raise your legs and dumbbell to a 90 degree angle. Slowly lower your legs without letting them touch the floor. Perform 3 sets of 12-15 reps.

Weighted Crunches  Lie on your back and bend your knees so your feet are flat on the floor.. Hold a dumbbell on your chest, focusing on your abs and lift your shoulders off the floor. Calmly lower your body without letting your shoulders touch the floor between sets. Perform 3 sets of 15-20 repetitions.

Plank with Pull-Ups Start in a plank position, holding dumbbells on the floor with both hands..

At the same time, the body should be straight from head to heels. Pull the left dumbbell to your left thigh and then repeat on the right side. Do 3 sets of 10-12 repetitions on each side.

Bicycle Crunches  Lying on your back, holding a dumbbell near your chest, lift your knees and shoulders up to touch your right elbow to your left knee..
