HOME WORK OUT / AB BLITZ

So with the current situation were having to move our workouts outside of the gym, and into our homes. This is no bad thing. Not being able to go to the gym and being dependent on just body weight movements gives you time to relearn the fundamentals, and focus that much more on working certain muscle groups. So here I've created a short and simple equipment free ab session designed to do just that. Focus on all areas of the core and leave that tummy burning. So go through each of the following movements and click the videos to see a visual tutorial on each of the exercises included. Push yourself and any training partners you may have in the home, and let's get that 6 pack blazing....

TAKE 90 SECONDS REST BETWEEN EACH OF THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES.

Exercise 1

Mountain climbers

3 sets of 1 minute blasts (30 seconds rest between sets)
