9 CORE EXERCISES THAT GET YOU CLOSER TO SIX-PACK ABS

“For the best results, both aesthetically and functionally, you need to target all the muscles in your abdomen,” explains NYC-based trainer Joan Pagano, author of Strength Training Exercises for Women.
What are they? Let’s meet all your ab muscles.

On the side of your abs, you have your external abdominal obliques and your internal abdominal obliques. Your external obliques lie on top, and are those muscles you feel in your side, just under your arm. The internal obliques are deeper muscles that lie underneath your external obliques, acting as stabilizers to help you maintain your posture.

The transversus abdominis are your deepest muscles, running horizontally around your midsection. Pagano says that toning these creates a “natural girdle” to keep your tummy tucked and stabilize your pelvis. Then, of course, there’s the most superficial muscle group in the abdomen: the rectus abdominis (AKA, when toned, the classic “six-pack” abs). This set runs from sternum to pelvis, helping you flex your spine while walking.

One move does not tone all your muscles. You’re going to need at least a few weapons in your arsenal to tighten up all over. Here, Carbon38 co-founder Caroline Gogolak demos the best abs moves to target all areas—even the ones you can’t see.

Do Lash Serums Really Work? Yes, But There’s a Catch

Image
They're advertised as the long-awaited secret to longer, thicker, and fuller eyelashes, but let's be real: Do lash serums work? work? We definitely encourage you to embrace your inner skeptic, but the good news here is — yes, they can work, but there are a few caveats. For starters, let's dive into how they work. Dr. Joshua Zeichner, the director of cosmetic and clinical research in the Department of Dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, told InStyle that eyelash serums are responsible for two jobs. First, he says they hydrate and coat the surface of the eyelashes to volumize the hair itself. Second, he says they can either "directly stimulate the hair follicles or help create an optimal environment for hair follicle growth." The major catch we mentioned earlier?
