I put this together for us and we did two sets. It was killer! We were both sore for three days afterwards and I almost never get sore abs.
This is a great core workout to add to a cardio workout or just to bust out while watching TV since you can replace the medicine ball with a weight or something heavy in your house!
As always, here are demo videos for each exercise:
Set 1
Isolated Bicycle (as demonstrated, but doing each side individually)
Glute Kick-Backs
Side Plank-Ups
Glute Lifts (starting at 1:03)
Set 2
Ball-Toe Sit-Ups
Push-Ups
Super Man (starting at 1:45)
To Finish:
Plank (see how long you can go!)
What's your favorite core exercise?
Core strength is so important! I don't do New Year's resolutions, but one of my fitness goals this year included doing ab work on a regular basis. Right now, I love and hate planks--they're so tough!
ReplyDeletePlanks are a lot easier for me, personally, than the leg work. That stuff kills me!!!
DeleteGreat workout, thanks for posting! Some good exercises to add to my routine. I slacked on core work for a while and with running you can't stress enough just how important it is!
ReplyDeleteI know, I'd been slacking, too. The Abs by April challenge and just thinking about it more has helped a lot :)
DeleteLove these!!! They look so good. I remembered we still need to meet up for the Abs By April post! Sorry, I was so stressed out about my exam but now I'm normal again.. lets do it :)
ReplyDeleteEmailing you about that now!
DeleteHave you tried the Nike training 15 minute workouts? They have pretty good ab workouts there!
ReplyDeleteBut will give this a try... spring break 1 week away... ugh...
And as discussed... ignore my comment!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely try this!! It's tough but good :)
