End Of The Road For The Essential Abs Program

Posted by Steve ()

July 23, 2008

Just completed the last workout of the final week of the Essential Abs Program.

Today the plan called for 15 reps of each of the following exercises with 7 seconds rest between each one:

Corkscrew
Hip Up
Reverse Crunch
Crossover
Oblique Crunch
Catch
Toe Touch
Crunch: legs up
Crunch: frog legs
Isometric back extension

Now the plan is over I’ll probably go back and repeat Week 5 and 6 for a while with the hope of maintaining whatever core strength I’ve built up over the past six weeks. I may eventually increase the number of reps from 15 to 20, but will start with 16 of each exercise on the weekend. Wish the push ups plan was this manageable!

I may start this one soon. Don’t want to overdo everything though.

I think I’ve put doing this off for long enough. I’ll start it this week (or maybe next )
