Do six abs exercises in six minutes for a sexy six-pack. No gym equipment needed.
In about the time it takes you to grab a Starbucks grande caffè mocha, down a Pop-Tart or order a Big Mac and fries, you can essentially squeeze in a complete ab workout. So instead of softening your midsection and blurring your abdominal definition, you can do this bodyweight ab workout, which covers the lower abs, upper abs and obliques, without even having to swipe your gym card. That’s because each and every exercise can be done on your bedroom floor, so when you’re running late and hitting the gym is impractical, you can still help carve in your abs in just minutes.
Workout Circuit
Do each of the following exercises consecutively without stopping. After you’re done, take a 45–60-second break and perform the circuit one more time.
