\u201cI do Pilates with my trainer David Higgins,\u2019 Jodie, 33, previously told the NY Times<\/a>. \u2018He\u2019s in London, so we just do a FaceTime call. I need someone to make sure I\u2019m not slacking.\u201d<\/p>\n The good news? You don\u2019t need a FaceTime slot with David, because when I trained with him back in 2023, he shared the brutal yet highly effective 100-rep ab challenge he prescribes to his celebrity clients (including the formidable Margot Robbie). Between crunches, toe taps, and minimal rest time, it targets the deepest layers of your abs<\/a> to build true, functional strength. Here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n To caveat, no workout can magically produce visible abs (body composition<\/a>, nutrition and genetics all play a role), but short, consistent workouts can significantly strengthen your core muscles. And that\u2019s more important than simply having superficial abs.<\/p>\n 100-Rep Ab Challenge<\/p>\n 20 toe taps (legs together)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 20 toe taps (legs together)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Optional<\/strong>: If you’re looking for a progression, David revealed that Margot would do this circuit five times while training for Barbie. Try increasing to two rounds, then three, and so on.<\/p>\n As for Comer’s Pilates routine, she previously told WSJ<\/a>: \u201cI do an hour of Pilates in the morning with my trainer. There\u2019s something therapeutic about Pilates, especially getting on a reformer. I\u2019ve never found something that\u2019s changed my body the way that it has. I actually feel very strong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
