Better abs in less time.
Great abs take hard work, but not long work. Instead of crunching for minute after minute, striving for length, we’ve created a quick ab workout to hit all of the major areas in your core, but also deliver a burn in a short amount of time. When it burns, you’ll know it’s working.
In addition to crunches, you’ll be adding in jacknifes, toe touches, heel touches, leg lifts, flutter kicks, and a Russian twist. This variety of exercises will leave no area of your core overlooked!
Equipment Needed: yoga mat, 1 medium dumbbell (8-12lbs), Interval Timer (Gymboss is a free app download)
