3 Flat Ab Exercise Routine for women

Here are 3 ab exercises that will utilize both your upper and lower abs. Make sure you keep good form throughout the entire exercise as best as you can. Add the push up routine found below and there you go…hit your abs with 2 different circuits (push ups work your abs great if you keep your belly tight thru out).

Below is how I’d have a healthy client perform these exercises:

beginner 20 reps of each…circuit entire 3 exercises 1-4x

Advanced 40 reps of each…circuit entire 3 exercises 2-5x

Power Tip  after each circuit of all 3 exercises pick ONE of  the exercises below:

1 minute of speed jump rope/1 minute of mountain climbers/1 minute of jumping power squats/1 minute of heavy bag punching/ 2-5 25 yard sprints

Easy Ab routine for moms.

Ann in the video is a mother of 5 and has been training with me for almost a year. She has lost 32lbs and lives a whole foods/Mediterranean diet. Yes, she eats a cookie every day but it’s organic and all natural. Paul Newman’s orange chocolate chip is her treat with lunch.

15-30 minute body resistance workouts

Note:you can make any of these sessions more challenging by adding sprints, jump rope, boxing, mountain climbers or any other 1-2 minute cardio interval in between exercises . Also, you can repeat each program multiple times and/or rather than count the repetition of each exercise, just perform each exercise to failure (cant perform that exercise any further
