When I first started at the gym, I wasn’t really too sure what I was doing. I had a few sessions with a PT but even then nothing really stuck. I was doing exercises because I was told to do them, rather than understand why I needed to do them or what muscle group they were working.

I’ve been trying to learn more about it now so I can get the most out of my gym sessions in a short space of time –-> I hate being at the gym for more than an a hour, it bores me.

This morning I did a Killer Abs Workout that I wanted to share with you guys –-> you don’t need a gym to do it, you can easily do it at home and use a water bottle or a can as a weight. If you give it a go, let me know what you think. I would love your feedback!!

Warm up: for my warm up I did 18.47 minutes on the cross trainer = a big bang theory episode. The best way to start a morning!

For the below exercises, I used a Medicine Ball and dumbbells but can you can use whatever weights you want or do it without weights, it is completely up to you:

Medicine Ball squats x 12 reps

Dumbbell lunges x 12 reps (6 each side, my legs can’t take many more than 6)

Medicine ball Russian twists x 12 reps (12 each side; I normally have my legs on the floor for this one but to make it super hard, lift them up)

Straight leg medicine ball crunches x 12 reps (lay down on your back with your legs up in the air. Aim to touch your toes with the medicine ball making sure your core is engaged)

Side plank x 30 seconds (each side!)

Normal plank x 60 seconds

And repeat… I did this 4 times over and by the end of the workout, my abs were on fire!

Give it a go and let me know what you think

Do you have a specific routine or make it up each day?
