Another week, another workout. It has been a while since we touched on those abs, so I thought it was time we give them a little focus. Here are 5 killer ab workouts.
I recommend doing these after your workout, since you use your core for pretty much every exercise. You wouldn't want to burn out your main stabilizer muscle before you even start your workout.
Ready... set... let's go!
- Captains Chair Knee Ups:
- 4 sets until exertion
- Rotational Forearm Planks
- 4 sets x 45 seconds eat
- You will be in a regular plank, but you will alternate dropping your hips to the left and right side.
- Make sure to squeeze your glutes, pull your navel into your spin, and keep your hips down.
- You want your spin to be straight when you come to center
- I wasn't able to find a pic, sorry about that!
- Reverse Crunches
- 4 x 20
- The thing to remember with these is that you are trying to pull your glutes off the ground with your lower abs
- Don't let your back or your legs help you
- You won't move very much but you should feel it in those lower abs.
- Runners
- 3x30 sec
- These are very similar to bicycles
- The difference, is instead of peddling with your elbows you are reaching for the inside of your foot, when your elbow would be coming to your knee.
- I wasn't able to find a pic, sorry about that.
- Toe Touches
- 4x20
- If you can't straighten your legs it is ok to bend them 90 degrees
There is your ab workout for the week!!! I hope you enjoy it. I will work on starting to take my own pictures for the blog, so I do not run into this problem of not having them. I apologize about that, but appreciate your support. Keep on keeping on! Until Thursday, have a great week.
Pistols...Out!
