Abs Demo

We believe it's important to train the muscles all the way around your mid section and to move through a variety of exercises as quickly as possible. The ab work outs that we will introduce to you are Giant sets, meaning you will move through four different exercises back to back and go through the set 3 times. The goal is to be able to move through your ab workout within 8–10 minutes.

Exercise / Crunches

The goal is 15 reps for beginners and 25 for advanced.

  • Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor, shoulder width apart.
  • Your hands are folded behind your head.
  • Slowly raise your shoulders off the floor, flexing your abs as your come up.
  • Hold for a count of 2 seconds and release slowly.
  • Return to the starting position with your shoulders resting on the floor.
  • Be sure you're taking air in on the way down and exhaling on the way up.
