Halle Berry's 5 Moves for Insane Abs at 58

The star reveals her ab-busting workout.

Do you want an ab-fab body like Halle Berry at 58? The star has shared some of the "essential core workouts" she does with her trainer, Peter Lee Thomas. In a post, she revealed that the ab moves are "the kinds of exercises I do to accelerate muscular ab growth," she wrote. " What I've learned throughout my training this past year is that a strong core supports EVERY other part of your body, and if you're performing exercises correctly, you're always engaging your core – now that's a win / win! Enjoy."

The first ab exercise she does is bear crawl bench up and downs. Here's how to do it: Get down on your hands and knees, facing a couch or bench. Make sure your hands are directly under your shoulders with your knees off the floor, putting weight on your toes. Slowly lift your left hand without twisting your hips, placing it on the bench. Then do the same with your right. Return to your starting position, one hand at a time.
