As I was preparing for 2 weeks in Greece I added some extra abs to my workouts. I don’t usually do abs, like ever. I feel like so many other exercises help work your abdomen that it’s not necessary to do crunches and etc. Plus if you’re working towards a six pack it has much more to do with overall body fat % than working your abs directly. Remember there is no such thing a spot reducing! I know many people consider abs workouts a success if you’re sore but again sore muscles does not equal building muscle. But I was trying to make myself feel sexier in a bikini- is that so wrong?!?! Anyways here is a quick abs circuit to add to your lifting or cardio.
Repeat 3-4x
20 plank jacks
25 Elbows to Knees
15 v-ups
25 side jack knives (each side)
20 cable rope crunches
25 reverse crunches
Do you do abs specific workouts?? Or do you use lifting or cardio to maintain a “flat stomach”? what exercises do you think work best for you??
