This boot camp ab workout is the cherry on top of a not-so-delicious pain sundae. There are other ab workouts around this site that are meant to be primarily stand-alone ab workouts. This one is meant to compliment a good, solid boot camp workout. After 35 to 50 minutes of awesome strength training, cardio training, and high intensity intervals, nothing puts a big red bow on the whole package like beating your abs into submission.
We are always talking about how you need to burn a lot of fat off before you can expect your six pack abs to show through. Well here is where we build the six pack abs that will show when you get that fat burned off.
With this set of abdominal exercises, I want to give you 5 to 10 minutes of intense abdominal work to put at the beginning or end (I prefer the end) of your boot camp workout. If you are doing these at the end of an hour long beat-down, focus your attention on three things: 1) keeping your form, 2) breathing, and 3) being almost done.
When you’re sweaty and worn out it is really easy to start slacking on form. Don’t do it. If you get fewer good reps because you are keeping your form right, that’s better than going through whatever unbeneficial motions just to turn in a higher, meaningless number.
This is a great way to end a workout. It is the icing on the pain cake. It can be pretty terrible icing while you are doing it, but getting to the end of a tough workout and finishing strong is a tremendous feeling.
With all of these sundae, present, and cake metaphors, you know this boot camp ab workout has to be good.
