A strong core is essential for any athlete and CrossFit core and abs workouts are a great way to achieve this result.
CrossFit always puts function first, unlike bodybuilding for example, which generally prioritises aesthetics over fitness. The former is a healthy approach, because your body becomes defined by what it can do, and not just by how it looks.
In the end it all comes down to what you are training for, and what goals you would like to reach. Whatever your targets, these CrossFit workouts will help you to forge a strong core and six pack abs. Remember that without the right nutrition, you will not see or experience any meaningful results.
