Gymnastics abs workouts are an impressive way of building strength without requiring an external load and a very effective way of improving your abdominal power.

Most gymnastics workouts are all about stability, balance and strength, and a strong core is what an athlete should work on to perfect the movements and improve their overall performance.

In CrossFit, body-weight movements like air squats, push-ups, pull-ups are considered gymnastics. When performed correctly, they’ll have a positive impact in many aspects of your day-to-day life.

The hardest WODs can’t be completed without a strong core. Imagine attempting a handstand walk with weak abs; no matter how much weight your arms can carry, without the stability in the middle it becomes a pretty hard task to achieve.

Abs are great and developing them through gymnastics workouts might arguably be the best way to work on a strong and stable core.
