5 MIN ABS Workout with Bodyweight Exercises

Hey guys, that was the circuit of the day!

5 exercises!

1st exercise: Scissor/Flutter Kicks (Vertical)

2nd exercise: Scissor/Flutter Kicks (Horizontal)

Then Side Plank Lifts.

From Side Plank position you just have to lift your hips

Squeeze your gluteus and be sure to keep the activation of your abs

Also the shoulder position is important, be sure to keep it in line with your elbow on the ground.

It is a very helpful exercise, you will improve your transversus abdominis, gluteus, etc.

If you are not used to this exercise you will feel it on your shoulder too.

5th exercise: Knee Raises.

From dead hang position, just raise your knees in a controlled motion.

Try to keep your arms fully locked out.

Abs must be always activated like for every other exercise of the circuit.

Remember to breath!

Try to repeat it 3 or 4 times in a single session.

Final objective is to do 1 minute of work per exercise.

1 minute Scissor/Flutter Kicks (Vertical)

1 minute Scissor/Flutter Kicks (Horizontal)

1 minute Side Plank Lifts.

1 minute Side Plank Lifts on the other side.

1 minute Knee Raises.

This is what I suggest if you are used to working out.

If you are a beginner you can start with 20" or 30" of work per exercise and then rest 40" or 30" before the next one.

Then week after week you can increase the time.

If you start with 20” per exercise then try to do 30, then 40 etc.

When you are able to do 60” per exercise, you have a good strength, so it’s better to add exercises to this circuit or to do harder exercises.

The circuit in the video should be okay for most of the people anyway.

This circuit is great to strengthening the abs.

For a good looking abs you need to have a proper diet. (if you do only care about the "beach body")

But to just have a cool abs is useless in my opinion.

Better to have a good functional abs, useful for every daily activity or sport.
