The best-known of these ab exercises is the plank, also called the bridge, also called that damned painful thing you do on your elbows and toes. Rest your weight on your forearms and toes, pull your abs in tight, and hold your body in a straight line from shoulders to heels.
After a few weeks of doing this twice a week -- along with the similar side bridge, in which you rest your weight on one forearm and the outer edge of the same-side foot while holding your body straight as a pencil -- I noticed muscles on the sides of my waist that I'd never seen before. I could feel those muscles working hard, and sure enough, those muscles grew.
