Research from the American Council on Exercise ACE says that plain old crunches are the most effective way to tone the rectus abdominus, those six-pack muscles that run up and down the front of your belly. Researchers used electronic sensors to track the muscle contractions of 16 volunteers while they performed traditional crunches, as well as other abdominal exercises using popular equipment like the Ab Roller, Ab Wheel, and Ab Coaster.

Full disclaimer: our CRI researcher Cory Hofmann has little experience in the world of training or researching these types of events. However, he believe the same principles of this article would apply: focus on strength training the muscles of the legs, hips especially the adductors - the inner thigh , and trunk.
