21 Day Fix Additional Workout Review: 10 Minute Fix for Abs

Howdy!  This review is for the extra workout that comes with the program called 10 Minute Abs.  You can add this workout on to any day of the week, just make sure that you're giving yourself a day in between focused ab work to let the muscles rebuild and recover.

Any Day's Workout (I like to do this M/W/F or T/Th/S):  10 Minute Fix for Abs

Autumn's Inspirational Quote of the Day:  "Earn the body you want"
It doesn't come for free, people.

Equipment: mat (optional)

Total Workout Time:  10:23

Set up:  20 reps each exercise, repeated, plus 2 bonus moves

Exercises:
Crunches
Table-top:  crunches with knees bent to 90°
Crunches with right leg:  bring one knee into the chest, the other leg straight out and lowered down as far as you can without raising your lower back off the mat

Crunches with left leg:  same as above, but other leg is extended
Cross Crunch:  legs straight up in the air, alternate touching your fingers to your toes
Tap Crunches:  back in table top position, lower toes to the floor
Twist Crunches-right:  one knee bent, other ankle on the knee, opposite hand behind your head, other arm out straight

Twist Crunches-left:  same as above, just switch legs and arms
Obliques-left:  keeping chest towards the ceiling, hands behind your head, lower knees to one side stacked on top of each other and bring elbow towards knees, contracting abs

Obliques-right:  same as above, but bring knees to the other side
Bicycles:  hands behind your head, bring one knee in to chest at a time, alternating
Repeat

Ankle Crosses (20 reps):  legs out straight, rest on your elbows behind you, cross your ankles quickly
Flutter Kicks (20 reps):  legs out straight, rest on your elbows behind you, quickly alternate lifting legs up and down

Cooldown:  stretch back to length abs

Personal Opinions and Difficulty:  This workout is a great addition to put into your rotation.  It is focused on the core and if you are doing the moves correctly, you will really feel it!
Difficulty: 4/5 I definitely felt this in my core.  The crunches with the leg extended are, by far, the hardest move for me.  Oooh, it burns!
Enjoyment:  5/5  It feels good to work the abs and you know you will have worked them because you will feel them working!
Overall:  5/5  Quick, effective workout!
