Popsugar Health & Fitness Workouts You've Got to Try Candace Cameron Bure's Top 15 Ab Exercises Candace Cameron Bure Has Abs of Steel, and Her Top 15 Core Moves Are Proof 27 February 2020 by Maggie Ryan Image Source: Getty / Steven Ferdman / Contributor Candace Cameron Bure is as known for getting laughs in Fuller House (and starring in all the best Hallmark holiday movies) as she is for her intense and inspirational fitness regimen. The actress is passionate about her health and works with trainer Kira Stokes, who also trains celebs like Ashley Graham and Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn. In a Q&A on her fitness Instagram Story, Candace revealed that she aims to work out four to five days a week, but sometimes backs it off depending on her schedule. She switches between home workouts, gym workouts, and hotel gym workouts when she's travelling. In other words, she does what workouts she can, when she can – like pretty much all of us. Candace and Kira often share snippets of the star's workouts on Instagram, so of course we had to round up a few of Candace's go-to ab exercises for you. No surprise, these moves are pretty advanced and creative, so be sure to modify if you want to give them a shot yourself. There are also a lot of compound exercises, aka moves that work multiple muscle groups, because when you're as busy as Candace (and let's be honest, you probably are), it's all about getting the most bang for your buck.

It's a big challenge, even when you drop down to your knees! 6 / 15 7 Weighted Ball Pass Image Source: Instagram user candacecbure Ignite your abs with Candace's bicycle crunch variation, which involves passing a medicine ball through your legs and behind your head at the top. (Keep reading to see that part of the move.) 7 / 15 8 Weighted Ball Pass (Overhead Reach) Image Source: Instagram user candacecbure 8 / 15 9 Plank With Hip Tap Image Source: Instagram user candacecbure Another balance challenger, you'll have to fight to maintain this plank while you shift your hand back to tap the outside of your hip. 9 / 15 10 Hollow Hold With Resistance Band View this post on Instagram The reality of my workouts with @kirastokesfit ... 🤣 - @garyjac , we’re always thinking of you 💕!

It's a lot, so feel free to split the move up and take it slow. 12 / 15 13 Sled Push With High Knee Image Source: Instagram user candacecbure A typical sled push works your lower body and arms, so Cameron used this high-knee variation to up the core burn. Pulling your knee to your chest with each step engages your abs like high knees! 13 / 15 14 Plank With Shoulder Tap and Leg Lift View this post on Instagram It’s the most wonderful time of year🎄made even more special when @candacecbure sneaks in time to get STOKED while in town👯♀️ 🔥CORE/UPPER BODY🔥 combo (harder than it appears which makes it insanely impressive that Candace just dropped down the second she walked in to join me in the move as I was practicing it!) 🔹core stabilization is a focal point of the combination. Show control when you lift hand (to tap opposite shoulder) and opposite leg off the ground 🔹when you lift the leg in plank, engage the glute, do not lift to a hyperextended low back 🔹when you lift in quadruped, make sure the opposite knee if just a few inches off the ground 🔹the knees should not touch the ground during the quadruped triceps push-up (but if you need to modify, feel free to lower to your knees) 🔹aim for 90 seconds (or 5 reps) of the entire combo 📸 @theirish_yank . . . #thestokedmethod #stoked #fitover40 #strength #core #stability #abs #arms #workforit #goals #strongwomen #challenge #holidays #fitspo #instafit #instagood #smotd A post shared by Kira Stokes - kirastokes.com (@kirastokesfit) on Dec 3, 2019 at 6:15pm PST Put your balance to the test with this intense plank variation, which is a combo of plank with shoulder tap and plank with leg lift. 14 / 15 15 Dead Bug With Resistance Image Source: Instagram user candacecbure The dead bug is a great move for core strength and stability.
