The recipe for visible, well-defined abs isn’t doing super long workouts. It’s consistency, eating a well-balanced diet and being in a calorie deficit. If you’ve got the latter two in check, then this workout will be the perfect missing piece in your puzzle. It’s super quick and easy to fit in around a busy schedule and, better still, requires no equipment at all.
While we have no issue with you wanting towork on your six-packfor aesthetic purposes, we would also advise that you try and incorporate some core exercises (like thisthree-move core workout). As your core not only includes the abdominal muscles, but also the pelvis, lower back and hips and working it helps to stabilise your spine and torso. Aesthetic goals are fine, but don’t forget about overall body health too.
Make sure you have an exercise mat beneath you for this workout, as all of these exercises are floor-based; put on yourbest workout shoesand have yourgym water bottleat the ready, as you’re going to get hot! You’re going to do each exercise for 40 seconds, then you get a 20 second break, before you go in again and do the next exercise. You’re only doing one round of the workout in total, so try and keep working for the entire 40 seconds. Here’s your workout:
We hope you found that effective and quick enough to fit into your schedule.
