In your quest for a toned tummy, the situp isn’t your only option—there are plenty of moves you can do in the comfort of your living room that require no gear—just a little creativity. We asked Tracey Mallett, ACE and AFAA certified personal trainer and Gold’s Gym Fitness Institute expert, and Kristin Anderson celebrity fitness trainer and founder of MyDailyTrainer.com, for unique ways to mix up a mundane core routine. They suggested the following moves, adapted from popular gym classes, martial arts—even burlesque. None of these exercises require any equipment, and you don’t have to crunch for hours to see results. You’ll never look at your abs workout the same way again.
