I always get asked what the BEST ab move is AND how can one can get rid of belly fat. 
To me, these are sort of different questions: one is functional and one is aesthetic.
The BEST ab move to strengthen the core is anything plank related.
This strengthens the transverse abdominus muscle – there are actually 4 layers of muscles in your core (see here) ===>
As for getting rid of belly fat, that’s something a little different. While there are some studies to show that LOCAL thermogenesis (increase in temperature) will help spot reduce, the BEST way to both strengthen the core and reduce belly fat is to do metabolically expensive core related exercise, like in these workouts.
First, here are some tips for doing a plank:
Here’s a workout that will strengthen your core AND get you in a hot and sweaty mess with JUST your bodyweight:
Bodyweight workouts can’t be beat. Here’s one called ‘Planks for the Abs’
Here’s the timing:
45/10 advanced
30/10 intermediate
20/10 beginner
Do three rounds
squat jump (full body extension)
plank jack (plank)
side plank
side plank
burpee
plank with alt leg lift
What’s great about this workout is that there’s a definite emphasis on the core, but you’ll also boost your metabolism with the heart pounding squat jump and burpees (which also engage the core).
Win – win!
