The<br />

scul<br />

The woman who trains<br />

Karlie Kloss and Shakira<br />

knows a thing or two<br />

about creating flat abs<br />

A<br />

nna Kaiser, superstar<br />

celebrity trainer, believes<br />

a killer core is the key to<br />

all-over fitness. “Karlie Kloss<br />

loves to feel capable of doing<br />

anything,” she tells us. “That comes<br />

from pure core strength. These moves<br />

get your heart rate up and engage<br />

all your muscles at the same time,<br />

so you burn more and get quicker<br />

results.” Do the below workout, with<br />

10 reps of each exercise, three times<br />

a week (you’ll need a Swiss ball,<br />

FYI), leaving rest days in-between.<br />

Disclaimer: may result in abs so<br />

good, you’ll want to rock a crop<br />

top even if it’s freezing outside*.<br />

STEP 1 Side passe dip<br />

TARGETS Obliques, glutes<br />

WORKOUT<br />

TIP!<br />

The mistake Kaiser spots<br />

all the time? People setting<br />

up the high plank with<br />

shoulders behind wrists. “Bring<br />

your weight forward, so your<br />

shoulders are over your wrists.<br />

You’ll instantly feel your<br />

abs engage more.”<br />
