I’ve done a few abs workouts in my time and I’ve pulled together a few into this post. They all cover the various directions, movements and requirements of normal movement. There’s no silly 100 crunch reps here that will unbalance your musculature.

You can alter your reps dependent on your abilities. Push yourself though!

Workout 1 (repeat circuit 3 times)

  • V-Ups: 5 reps
  • Crunches: 10 reps (hold for 5 seconds at midpoint on way up)
  • Dumb Bell Side Bend: 5 reps each side
  • Plank: 30 seconds

Workout 2 (repeat circuit 4 times FAST)

  • Chinnies: 20 reps
  • Crunches: 20 reps
  • Back Extension: 10 reps

Workout 3 (repeat circuit 3 times)

  • Side Planks: 5 each side (5 second hold)
  • Plank: 30 seconds

I’ll do some more workouts for abs at a later date. I’ve found the Truth About Abs book invaluable in my workout routines. Blows away some of the myths about workouts, diets and getting a 6 pack.
