I’ve owned the Essential Abs book for quite some time and really like the structure of its 6 week program. The Essential Abs Core Program is a simple and effective series of routines designed to help you create a positive exercise habit.
The 6 week system is, however, just a template and can be fine tuned to your individual needs.
Here’s a basic rundown of the first 2 weeks of the plan. I’m currently on Week 2, Workout #2 and will shortly be stepping up to the more demanding third week. So far, so good.
Week 1:
Level-One Exercises
Reverse Crunch
Crossover
Crunch: feet first
Opposite arm/leg raise
Monday | Workout #1 – 12 reps of each exercise
Wednesday | Workout #2 – 13 reps of each exercise
Friday | Workout #3 – 14 reps of each exercise
Week 2:
Level-One Exercises
Reverse Crunch
Crossover
Crunch: feet first
Opposite arm/leg raise
Monday | Workout #1 – 16 reps of each exercise
Wednesday | Workout #2 – 17 reps of each exercise
Friday | Workout #3 – 18 reps of each exercise
I will post details of Week 3 and 4 in the near future, but if you have any questions please let me know. Meanwhile, I’ll get back to working on my strong abs.
Wow, sounds like a great workout!
C – it’s a nicely structured program that gets progressively more difficult as time goes on. Weeks 5 and 6 are pretty tough!
Could this be the next big thing? hundredcrunches.com?
It certainly could! Is that your next project Pete?
hmmm. we shall see, oh yes, we shall see. *evil grin*
Well the good news is the domain name is still available…
Sounds like a great Abs workout. Do you have a set resting time between the exercises?
