It’s time to talk abdominals. It’s a new year and summer is rapidly approaching and getting toned for that new bikini is on everyone’s mind. Now, you could spend hours in the gym doing 1000 sit-ups, and get really good at them or you could spend 10-15 minutes every other day doing hard, gymnastics style abdominal work that would not only get you stronger but make you look better as well.
When we talk about abs, most of the time we forget that the core muscles incorporate not just the 6-pack but our back, obliques, diaphragm and pelvic floor. Essentially, our all of the core muscles create a container around the spine. This means we have to train our core muscles in as many different directions and styles as possible. So, now that I have your attention, let’s get started.

5x V-ups
