This was my 8 minute AB workout today.

This ab workout consists of one long continuous set, with no breaks in between exercises, you need to maintain constant strain on your abdominals.

Start with basic crunches, I like to put my hands out in front of me with my hands clasped together. Do whatever postion you like, but avoid pulling on the back of the neck. Bend your knees so that your feet are flat on the floor. We're doing 50 slow reps..feel those abs contracting.

Let's add a Russian twist to this. Raising your shoulders off the ground slowly twist your torso from side to side. You want your right elbow turning towards your left knee, and your left elbow turning towards your right knee. These are gonna burn so let's try 20, in strict form!

Onto leg raises. Extend you rlegs in front of you making sure that your feet don't touch the floor.. you want to start with them together, 8 inches off the floor.before raising them so that your legs form a 45 degree angle, crank out 25 of these babies!

Back into a set of crunches. this time do them with your legs straight, extended flat out accross the floor. While you're doing these crunches, pretend there's an imaginary string pulling your upper torso off the floor, do 50 of these.

Now fling your legs into the sir and let's do some Pikes. Your arms are out straight pointing towards the floor, as you raise your shoulders in an attempt to tough your toes. All the while your bum is lifting slightly off the floor. As you lower your shoulders to the floor your legs come down again, into a bend position on the floor. No sooner do they touch and you're beginning the next rep..go for 25 reps. On the last rep leave your legs straight up in the air so your toes are pointing towards the ceiling. Do 30 crunches to intensify that burn.

Then cut the abs with some scissors. Lower your legs so that they're 12 inches off the floor, lock your arms behind your head. Lifting your right shoulder off the floor twist your torso just as your opposite leg, or left knee, bend into your right elbow. Immediately lower your knee and shoulder and then twist your left elbow towards your right knee Try doing 25 of these before lowering your shoulders to the ground for your final exercise.

Which is a set of 50 basic crunches, like the ones you did in the beginning of the workout. Exercise SLOW, strict reps,as that burn spreads like fire!

Of course if you need to lower the reps to your fitness level, DO SO! I want you to be able to breathe in the morning without your stomach killing you!

You've done 275 crunches in less then 8 minutes!
