5-Minute Amazing Abs Workout

Make the most of those spare five minutes.

Six pack. Washboard abs. If you’ve admired the flat, toned belly of a fellow gym rat or sunbather, but have given up on getting your own enviable abs, read on! Our 5-Minute Amazing Abs Workout truly optimizes those five minutes, turning a quick shortcut of a workout into a fat-burning, muscle-building power session.

The secret to this workout’s effectiveness is the use of a medium to heavy dumbbell, which increases resistance and builds muscle quickly. As you begin to see results, switch up the routine a bit. Perform your Russian Twists before your Dumbbell Toe Touches, and keep changing the sequence as weeks go by. This will prevent your muscles from getting accustomed to a certain order, and will prevent you from hitting a plateau. And don’t be afraid to move from beginner to intermediate to advanced. The more rounds you do, the better you’ll be able to maintain those fabulous abs!

Equipment Needed: 1 medium-heavy dumbbell (10-15 lbs), interval timer (Gymboss is a free app)
