Six-Minute Abs

May 12, 2013 By LazyGirlFitness 5 Comments

If ‘There’s Something About Mary’ taught me anything, it’s that eight-minute abs didn’t stand a chance once seven-minute abs came along. So it stands to reason that this six-minute ab workout is going to Blow Your Mind. You should be using your core all day, every day, but it doesn’t hurt to tack a little ab session onto the end of your regular workout too. Makes for nicer looking ‘beach muscles’ anyway (as one of my PT lecturers used to call them). As always, I’m about efficiency, so I like to set this up as a circuit.

Want these? Do this!

Want a toned tummy? Do this!

 The ‘Everybody Has Six Minutes’ Ab Workout

You’ll do each of the first five exercises for 45 seconds, with 15 seconds to rest and reposition yourself for the next exercise. Hold the final exercise for a full 60 seconds (or longer if you’re feeling a bit crazy).

Crunches
Bicycle
Full sit up
Reverse crunches
Slow sit up (up count two, down count four)
Plank

Remember, you’ll never see those rock hard abs if you don’t strip body fat, so make sure you check out some of my other workouts. And as always, any questions, you know where to find me!

p.s If you haven’t seen the hitchhiker scene in There’s Something About Mary, you need to get on that!

    It’s hard to come by experienced people about this subject, however, you seem like you know what you’re talking about!
    Thanks

      Thank you Rachelle! I bought those from Adam Carter – he is the Australian distributer for Equalizers. They are AWESOME – absolutely recommend them for a home gym. They are on sale at the moment for $150 per pair. You can buy them here -http://www.intunehealthonline.com.au. Let me know howyou go!
