Core Strength In 6 Weeks Courtesy Of Essential Abs
That’s what I’m hoping anyway 
I’m currently working towards improving my core strength and firming my abdominal muscles and am following the Men’s Health guide “Essential Abs“.
I’ve owned the Essential Abs book for quite some time, and really like the structure of its 6 week program. The Core Program is a simple and effective series of routines designed to help you create a positive exercise habit.
The 6 week system is however just a template and can be fine tuned to your individual needs.
Here’s a basic rundown of Week 1 and 2 of the plan. I’m currently on Week 2, Workout #2 and will shortly be stepping up to the more demanding third week. So far, so good.
Week 1:
Level-One Exercises
Reverse Crunch
Crossover
Crunch: feet first
Opposite arm/leg raise
Workout #1 (Monday) – 12 reps of each exercise
Workout #2 (Wednesday) – 13 reps of each exercise
Workout #3 (Friday) – 14 reps of each exercise
Week 2:
Level-One Exercises
Reverse Crunch
Crossover
Crunch: feet first
Opposite arm/leg raise
Workout #1 (Monday) – 16 reps of each exercise
Workout #2 (Wednesday) – 17 reps of each exercise
Workout #3 (Friday) – 18 reps of each exercise
I’ll post details of Week 3 and 4 in the near future, but if you have any questions please let me know.

C – it’s a nicely structured program that gets progressively more difficult as time goes on. Weeks 5 and 6 are pretty tough!
