Super Abdominal Circuit

26/01/2010 | by Lorraine White

Do you split your abs into 3 × 10 crunches then 3 × 45 seconds of the plank? Do you rest 45 seconds between each set? That is a great place to start but now we need to up the intensity by performing a circuit.

Try this routine to push your abs to their limit:

• 20 normal crunches
• without resting 20 crunches with feet up
• without resting 10 crunches with feet up and hands trying to touch the feet
• rest.

Then:

• Left side plank for 30 seconds
• middle plank for 30 seconds
• right plank for 30 seconds
• rest.

Repeat the 2 mini circuits above twice.

A good shock can often improve your training!
