Ab Circuit

I really enjoy doing a full day devoted to ab workouts. Actually a day devoted to core would be more appropriate because I don't just focus on abs but the entire mid-section since it is so important to progress in other lifts. Each exercise in this circuit should be performed in a 45 second on, 15 second off fashion. This makes it a cardio workout as well, so you get double the benefit.
Warm-Up
- 50 Jumping Jacks
- 20 Prisoner Squats
- 10 Lunges Each Leg
- 20 Calf Raises
- Handstand Hold 10 Sec
- Jog In Place 30 Sec
I use this warm-up a lot so I probably devote another article to it later down the line
Main Workout
- Plank Up and Downs - Start in traditional plank position. Alternate between being on your elbows and having your arms fully extended
- Plank Alternating Should Touch - Start in pushup plank position. Touch one hand to opposite should and repeat with other hand.
- Plank Knees to Elbows - Begin in pushup plank again. Try to touch knee to elbow to your elbow on each side.
- Scissor Sit-Ups - Lay fully extended with hand above your head. Perform a sit-up while reaching one arm to touch opposite foot, while also bringing that foot up. Repeat with other side.
- V-Ups - Lay fully extended again. This time try to bring both hand to touch both feet while performing the sit-up. Bring you legs up as well, simultaneously.
- Side Plank Crunches - Begin in side plank position on your elbow. Bend your midsection down to touch the ground and then return to start position.
Repeat Circuit 4 Times and then repeat warm-up for your cooldown.
