Get the flat belly of your dreams with this simple workout. Just replace one of your strength workouts with this routine, to make your belly firmer.
The abs workout consists of 5 exercises. Perform one set of each exercise described below without rest. After the last exercise, rest 60 seconds. That’s one circuit. You should perform 3 in total.
1. Feet-elevated alternating dumbbell press
Lie on a bench and grab a pair of dumbbells next to your chest. Raise your feet and bend your knees. Press the right weight toward the ceiling, while extending your arm. Repeat on the other side. That’s one rep. Do 10.
2. Overhead alternating reverse lunge with saxon side bend
Stay with your feet shoulder-width apart. Grab a pair of dumbbells directly overhead. Step back with your left foot, while lowering into a lunge. Then, lean your upper body to the right, keeping your arms straight. Return to start. That’s one rep. Do 10, then repeat on the other side.
3. Medicine ball transfer
Lie on the floor and grab a medicine ball with both hands. Lift your shoulders while keeping your arms straight and place the medicine ball between your feet. Then, lower your legs to the floor. Lift the ball with your legs and grab the ball with your hands to return to the start position. That’s one rep. Do 10.
4. Weighted half-wipers
Lie on the floor, raise your legs and put a medicine ball between your feet. Grab a dumbbell with your right hand and extend it above your chest. Lower your legs to the left as you lower the dumbbell to the right. Return to start. That’s one rep. Do 10, then switch sides and repeat.
5. Single-straight-leg deadlift and row
Grab a dumbbell with your right hand. Raise your right leg slightly behind you. Hinge forward, letting the weight hang directly under your shoulder as you lower your torso and raise your right leg until both are parallel to the floor. Row the dumbbell to your side. Pause, then slowly lower. That’s one rep. Do 10, then switch sides and repeat.
