Abs. We all have them. Like it’s part of being human to have abdominal muscles, but we all want them to look and feel better. Am I right?? I swear there are times in my life where I have been so stoked on my abs and then there are times that I don’t even want to look at my stomach haha! One thing I do know when it comes to abs (and this is true when speaking about fitness in general), and that is the importance of being consistent. And knowing and understanding that it’s a process, not something that happens overnight. Getting that six pack or those toned abs you are wanting takes hard work, discipline, eating right, and doing that over and over again.

Today, I thought I would share a quick glimpse into one of the ab circuits that I do both at the gym, and at home. One thing I love about working out my abs is that I can do most of the workouts I want to without equipment and right in the comfort of my own home, or out in the yard, or the park, or the gym. Really anywhere there is a bit of open space is free game for an ab workout. This particular circuit I am sharing is one I do often and it brings the sweat!! As I have mentioned before, when I know I am going to get my sweat on each day, I love having the right activewear to wear during my workouts. I continue to find Kohl’s to be a fantastic place to find all of my activewear needs. The selection of shoes, shorts, tops, tanks, and sports bras is excellent and at an awesome price point! For today’s workout I went again with a full Nike ensemble, but strayed from my normal all black look and gave it a pop of color with the baby blue. Brod was stoked because he loves the University of North Carolina and spent a lot of time on their campus working with them, so he loved that I sported the baby blue shorts for this particular workout. So even husbands/boyfriends will love the activewear at Kohl’s!

As for today’s circuit (do the entire circuit 2 times through) below is the breakdown as to what I did, do your best to make sure to keep your core tight during each exercise. This might seem silly but the way I think about it is sucking in my belly button through to my back, keeping my back flat and my core tight:

1. Lower ab crunch- 20 reps each side

2. Leg raises- 20 reps

3. Toe taps- 20 reps

4. Scissors- 20 reps

5. Bicycles- 30 reps, 15 each side

6. Alternating toe touches (not the toe touches a cheerleader does)- 20 reps each side

7. Straight body crunch- 20 reps

8. Plank- 1 minute

I hope this circuit is one that you will give a try! I will continue to share more specific workouts and glimpses into my fitness journey here on the blog and other platforms! Thanks so much following! I love you all!
