Turn that crunch upside down! That’s what lots of fitness bloggers are telling you to do and they claim it is the secret to getting that 6 pack. Well, we’ve heard that one before….but what is “the secret” this time??

The truth is... there really isn’t a shortcut, as great abs require a combination of two basic things: reducing body fat and building that pesky abdominal muscle… Reducing body fat? We know how that goes- lay off the late night pizza and try to eat things that look green-ish!

But when it comes to building abdominal muscles you can do all sorts of things- standard sit ups or crunches. But crunches and sit ups put a lot of pressure on your neck and back which can be painful. A good option touted by a recent Harvard Medical report is to hold your body weight and plank.

An invention that has sold millions of pieces in Europe and is now getting a lot of attention in the US- it is called the Sideshaper. It claims to get to get you off the floor and combines the power of a plank with a crunch- drawing your knees up to your chest inversing the crunch. No doubt it works and its tough but you can calibrate it to three different fitness levels- beginner, intermediate or advanced.

Athena (a 18 yr old dancer) says- “Combining a plank with a crunch is really good and this swivels from one side to the other to hit my obliques”

Professional Fitness Trainer Santi, 32, says- “I tried it myself first- and I loved it because it extends the crunch without putting pressure on your neck. I’ve actually bought one for myself and use when I train my clients now”

SideShaper has 4.5 stars on Amazon with hundreds of reviews, and you can buy it there for around $320.00.
