Core First Fitness Ab Challenge #2
It’s time for your second challenge compliments of yours truly. If you missed the first one please click on the category for ab workouts. Before you start have some motivation:
Beer Belly to this is 6 months!
This workout that I have come to love for a few reasons. The first is that it is very quick and the second is that it really tears your abdomen up. There is no rest in between exercises so keep moving:
15 hanging leg raises followed by a 1 minute front plank (do 3 sets of this without resting)
Finish with one set of 10 Muay Thai crunches (10 each knee)
Hanging Leg Raise: While putting your body in a position where it is completely dangling raise just your legs into the air until they are parallel with the ground. Keep your legs straight. Perform these slowly so your momentum does not sway your hanging. If this is too difficult perform the leg raises while laying on a bench. Simply raise your legs until they are straight in the air and never letting them pass parallel to the ground on the way down.
Front plank: Lay face first on the ground propping yourself up by only your elbows and toes. Use your core to keep your body as erect as possible and keep your eyes and head forward. Do this for one minute.
Muay Thai Crunches: Get in a normal sit up position with your hands behind your head. Keep you feet suspended in the air and relax your knees as if someone was laying on top of you and you were using your knees you put them in a scissor submission move (Like a muay thai fighter). Crunch up taking your right elbow your right knee and hold it for 3 long seconds. Go back to the starting position and crunch your left elbow up to your left knee and hold for another 3 seconds. Perform 10 each leg.
Feel the burn!
