Insanity Max :30: Ab Attack 10

Well, hellooooooo there!  I am not currently doing Insanity:  Max 30, but rather another Shaun T workout called Focus T25.  However, I have done I:M30 several times and felt like I wanted to add on an ab workout to my cardio today.  I picked Ab Attack to stay within the Shaun T theme.

The workout is 10 minutes, 10 moves, 1 minute each.  Even though it's only 10 minutes, you will feel this workout.  Yowza!  Let's get to it!

Workout:  Ab Attack 10
Time:  10 minutes

  • Seated Tuck Jump (sitting down, knees bent, bring your knees into your chest and tap your thighs)
  • Side Plank Punches (turn over into plank position on your forearms and alternate punching to the right and left, keeping your core tight and your hips still)
  • Knee-Push Extension (back into seated tuck jump position, this time "push" off of your thighs, arms overhead and lay flat, then pull back into seated position)
  • Reciprocating Knee (back into plank on the forearms, alternate tapping your knee to the ground, making sure to keep your core tight and your hips tucked)
  • Switch Kick Punches (on your back, one leg up to the ceiling, the other parallel to the ground, punch towards the foot that is in the air and then switch legs and arms)
  • High-Plank Toe-Tap (in a high plank position this time, alternate bringing your knee in towards your chest and tapping your toe--this is at a very fast pace and takes a lot of coordination and core control!)
  • Sprint (sitting, alternate legs out straight and arms moving fast like you're sprinting but sitting down)
  • Push-Up Back Extension (lay flat on your stomach and then push up into plank, back down on the ground and lift up your arms and legs)
  • Knees-up Ab Attack (sitting with your knees bent, alternate pushing your hands out in front of you quickly)
  • Drum V (straighten our your legs so your body is in a "v" and then punch yourself in the stomach--very difficult to keep your legs straight and your abs engaged, my hip flexors always start burning)
And there you have it!  This is a great addition to any workout because it is a very quick and effective ab workout.  You will feel it when you're done and it's only 10 minutes.  Try not to laugh tomorrow!  :)
