April 12, 2019: April Cruelty Part 2: My Abdominal Workout

 

On Tuesdays and Thursdays I do my abdominal workouts. Not because I want a six-pack, but because a strong core is essential for any athletic endeavor. I like this routine because it doesn’t take too much time. At most it’s sixteen minutes a day. I’ve purchased a medicine ball and a training mat for these exercises, but they’re not really necessary. There is a minute rest between each exercise.

1.     Medicine ball Russian Twists—2 minutes

 2.   Medicine ball leg suspension—1 minute

3.     Medicine ball leg lifts—1 minute

4.     Scissor kicks—1minute 

5.     Bicycle kicks—1 Minute

6.     Side forearm planks—1 minute each side

7.     Medicine ball crunches—2 minutes.

No fuss, no frills, it’s pretty easy to execute and doesn’t take that much time and it’s good for core strength.
