The only 6 Exercises You Need for Six-Pack Abs

Want six-pack abs like Cristiano Ronaldo? This isn’t about doing hundreds of crunches—it's about functional ab training that builds strength, improves posture, and targets stubborn belly fat. If you're looking for the best core exercises for results that show, these six moves are your new go-to.

This six-pack abs workout delivers total core activation—perfect for home or the gym.


1. Hardstyle Plank 

One of the most effective plank variations for abs. Get into a forearm plank, squeeze everything—glutes, core, quads, and fists—and hold for 10–20 seconds.

💡 Tip: Max tension = max results.


2. Dead Bug

A smart move for core workouts at home. Lie on your back, arms up, knees bent. Lower opposite arm and leg, then switch.

💡 Tip: Keep your lower back glued to the floor.


3. Hollow Extension to Cannonball

The ultimate no-crunch ab workout. Start in a cannonball, extend into a hollow hold, then return. Repeat 5x.

💡 Tip: Think of it as a core-strengthening pulse, not a break!


4. Dumbbell Side Bend

Add a bit of resistance with this dumbbell ab workout. Stand tall, bend sideways slowly with a dumbbell in one hand.

💡 Tip: Control the movement to fire up your obliques.


5. Barbell Back Squat

Yep, squats can help you get abs. Load a light barbell, squat deep, keep your core braced.

💡 Tip: This is full-body strength with a big core payoff.

6. Bird Dog

Gentle but powerful. From hands and knees, extend one arm and the opposite leg. Bring them together and repeat.


💡 Tip: It's great for stability, especially for those chasing a flat stomach over 50.

Why These Core Moves Work

These exercises hit every major muscle group in your core:
  • Rectus Abdominis - The visible abs
  • Transversus Abdominis - Deep core stability
  • External & Internal Obliques - for twisting, bending, and rotation

If your wondering how to get visible abs, this is your blueprint. Genetics play a part, but consistent effort and smart nutrition matter more.


Maximize Your Results

✅ Eat Clean: Abs are revealed in the kitchen.

✅ Be Consistent: 3 -4 workouts per week, 10 -15 reps, 3 sets.

✅ Mix It Up: Alternate bodyweight and weighted moves.

✅ Be Patient: Especially if you're tackling lower belly fat exercises after weight loss - real change takes time.

Even after dropping 50 pounds, you might still see a little belly left. These moves are designed to help tighten your core while building lasting strength. Say goodbye to endless crunches - and hello to real, visible results.

Want a flat stomach over 50? Or a strong, injury-resistant core at any age? This no-crunch ab workout routine works whether you're in your 30s or 60s. Let's go get that core.

I have been doing planks, crunches, bicycles and reverse sit-ups for a while now but based on the information in this post I may also incorporate some of the exercises listed above - Even with a 50 lbs. weight loss I still have a little bit to work on at the bottom on my stomach so these exercises could help in solving this issue.
