This one is called 30 Day 6 Pack Abs. I posted a workout from this program way back in April entitled, "Ab Power Workout 1: Ripped".
The first video I'm posting is the Introduction to the Program:
**Now, even though this is called "30 Day 6 Pack Abs," I really recommend that you do these workouts every other day. As I've stated before, the abdominals are muscles, and all muscles need that day of rest and recovery. So I'd recommend looking at it as the "60 Day 6 Pack Abs". Use the alternating days to do upper and lower body workouts, and don't forget about flexibility training!
Today I'm featuring the workout entitled, "Ab Strength Workout 1: Shred."
This workout consists of 5 exercises done for 30 seconds each done with no rest in between. This is then repeated 2 more times for a total of 3 rounds.
Again, working out like this will make the workout a cardiovascular one as well, and that will increase your calorie and fat burn. As I've said before, you need to burn off that layer of fat before you can see the muscles underneath. With this workout, you are burning the fat and strengthening the muscles at the same time, which is the better way to do it.
Some modifications and form cues: For the Plank Push Up, you can go to your knees if needed.
For the Oblique Roll Crunch, make sure to keep your lower back and hips still, don't lift your opposite hip off the floor as you rotate--just the upper body is moving.
There is no warm up included, he does do some stretching at the end. Please do a warm up on your own.
I'm also posting a "Cardio Fit Challenge." This challenge is an intense 4 minute workout that consists of 5 rounds of 5 exercises doing 3 reps each. You will time yourself to see how fast you do it. This is meant to be used as a tool to measure how much strength you gain over time. You could repeat this challenge weekly to keep track of your progression. As you get stronger, you can add extra reps to each exercise and see if you can complete it in your original time and then progress again from there, or you can add on extra rounds.
