30 DAY AB WORKOUTS



This 30 day challenge was sent to me in late May and we somehow decided it would be a good idea to start it June 1, fully knowing that we would have to complete the later, more challenging portions while on vacation. Somehow we managed. Even while aboard a cruise boat from Copenhagen to Oslo, we found a way to fit in these ridiculous workouts each day. I lived for the rest days. They were much needed. Into the last week, each workout was a massive effort and my abs hurt so much that laughing or sneezing was painful.




30 DAY AB WORKOUTS



Good morning! Although there are no exercises that will target love handles specifically, the Ab Challenge will certainly help. However, cardio training is more effective at fat burning. Be sure to include suitable weight-lifting. These workouts allow your body to build lean muscle. Good luck.


The plank is the number one go-to for all things core related and should be included in all core workouts for women. It works all the muscles of the abdomen, including your obliques (the tummy muscles that line the outer sides of your stomach), as well as the muscles in your lower back, which are an important part of your core. There are two different variations explained here, which you will also find in the plank challenge.


Squats tend to work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and back muscles. Doing squats alongside some great ab exercises will help in toning your body within a month. This is because these workouts target numerous muscles in your body, especially those in your lower body.


Despite there being multiple variations of the squat, this challenge advocates doing the air or bodyweight squats. These workouts entail using your body weight, so ditch any additional weights when doing the air squats.


Ready for another workout challenge? This one is all about strengthening and slimming your entire midsection to help diminish belly fat and love handles. All it takes is less than 10 minutes a day for the next 30 days and you'll notice a difference in how your clothes fit. It's not just about basic crunches! Oh no! This challenge involves six different ab-tastic moves to target every angle of your core from the front to the sides to the back.\n\n\nHere's the 30-day plan below and do adjust as needed according to your ability level. Each day involves three sets of the six above exercises. The third set will be tough \u2014 hey, it's a challenge, right! \u2014 so be sure to focus on doing the moves correctly, not quickly. This plan also incorporates rest days, so while you can hold off on ab exercises, you can (and should) still do other workouts to strengthen the rest of your body. Also, it's not advised to skip right to day 14 (if you want to be able to laugh the next day without rolling over in pain), so follow the plan and adjust it as needed according to your schedule and ability level.\n\n\n Related:\n\n \n \n \n \n\n Get Stronger With This 2-Weeks-to-50-Burpees Challenge\n \n \n","id":38124196,"type":"gallery","photo_source":"Image Source: POPSUGAR Studios","permalink":"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/fitness\/Ab-Challenge-38124196","canonical":"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/fitness\/Ab-Challenge-38124196","share_text":"30-Day 6-Pack Abs Challenge","use_tall_image":false,"omit_from_countdown":false,"caption_num":false,"slide_tags":"WorkoutsStrength TrainingFitness ChallengesIntermediate WorkoutsAb Exercises","is_cover":true},"image":"https:\/\/media1.popsugar-assets.com\/files\/thumbor\/qbDvpxkQguBDGNQzM-LCGU15t9I\/fit-in\/728xorig\/filters:strip_icc-!!-\/2015\/09\/08\/874\/n\/1922729\/647e6996049ef09f_patrick-fitness-30day6PackAbsChallenge\/i\/Keep-reading-learn-more-details-about-each-exercises.jpg","share_image":"https:\/\/media1.popsugar-assets.com\/files\/thumbor\/ghlJKPWrHA3uWVV-cbl99LjI-kI\/fit-in\/2048xorig\/filters:strip_icc-!!-\/2015\/09\/08\/874\/n\/1922729\/647e6996049ef09f_patrick-fitness-30day6PackAbsChallenge\/i\/Keep-reading-learn-more-details-about-each-exercises.jpg","title":"","intro_text":false,"body":"Keep reading to learn more details about each of these exercises.
