If you are used to a quarterly ab workout that includes sit-ups, crunches and leg lifts, then this schedule is going to seem very unconventional. This workout is a high intensity workout that will boost your metabolism and also give you a great ab workout.
Try this workout that does not include your typical ab exercises , but is done in a tri-set circuit style fashion.
you will be using these 3 exercises for the program.
1. Push-up style dumbbell rows
2. Barbell or dumbbell front squats
3. Mountain climbers (use to do these a lot in football practice)
The way this works is, you will do each practice without rest in in the middle of until you quit all 3 exercises, that is carefully one set. Rest about 1-2 minutes in the middle of each tri-set, then repeat. Do this for 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps, with the mountain climbers you can count both legs used as 1 rep or do for a count of about 20-30seconds. The choice is yours
Description of the exercises for this tri-set.
Push up style dumbbell rows- start with your hands on a pair of dumbbells while in the push-up position, then bring one dumbbell up in a rowing motion, bring back down and row with the opposite hand.This will positively work your core and abs by bringing your stabilizer muscles in to play.
Barbell or dumbbell front squats are done by placing the barbell on your shoulders with your arms crossed to stabilize the bar, or you can hold a pair of dumbbells at shoulder height in front of you. Then from there you will descend down like you are going to sit in a chair until your legs are parallel with the floor, then press yourself back up. Keep your abs tight during the movement.
Mountain climbers you will once again start in the push-up position, then you will bring one leg transmit until your knee is up under your chest, then bring back to the starting position and then repeat with your other leg. This involves basically your whole body to perform this exercise, which is good for burning fat.
Use this schedule and you too will go, Wow this positively does work.
