6 Minute Abs

Even though it's still hovering around the freezing mark here in New York, I'm starting to feel like spring is in the air. It's mostly a mental thing as come the end of February I have usually had about enough of winter.

Anyway, this is when I start checking out my abs to see what type of work I have ahead of me as spring/summer approaches.

I'm a firm believer that 6-pack abs are made in the kitchen, and there is no doubt that my diet can use some fine tuning as I tend to carb load all winter. With that said, I also like to ensure that I'm getting in a good core workout on a regular basis.

Back in November I posted Craig Ballantyne's Medicine Ball Ab Workout which is great, but not everyone has a medicine ball. That's why I also wanted to post Craig's 6 Minute Abs Bodyweight Workout, which is another great alternative for anyone, like me, who hates doing typical ab exercises such as crunches, sit-ups and hanging leg lifts.

Here's the workout:



I gave this routine a test run today with one addition; I added in Renegade Dumbbell Rows just for the heck of it.

Killer.

Give it a try, with or without the dumbbell rows, and let me know what you think!

As an FYI, Craig has mentioned that he's been playing around with a few new exercise and superset combinations for the "Awesome Abs" program that will be available in April to Turbulence Training members.

If it's anything like Turbulence Training for Abs, it should really be "awesome".

Train hard; stay strong.

Peace.
