Do you sometimes feel like you’re stuck with your workouts?
 
I actually got an email from a T&T reader a few weeks ago – she stated she was frustrated with her recent lack of progress. “I feel like I made really good progress for the first four weeks [after recently starting to workout more regularly], but lately I feel like I’m just not seeing results.” (Sound familiar?!)
My advice is always this – to get different results you need to do things differently! Come to find out this person had been doing the exact same workout on the exact same days for the last 6 weeks. After you make those initial gains your body will get used to these stresses and their efficacy decreases significantly. What was adequate stress 4 weeks ago is now too easy for your stronger muscles! You have to do some different exercises and stress you muscles differently to continue getting the results you’re after!
Today I wanted to share with you one of my favorite ab workouts for whenever I feel like I’m getting stuck in my results. This is a great kick-starter to mix things up, get you back on track, and help you see the results you’re after! Let’s do this…

The Workout
 
 80 High Knees (40 on each leg)
 High knees in an ab routine? You bet! Hold your core tight and focus on using your stomach muscles to initiate the “kick” phase.
 
20 Alternating V Sit Ups (10 touches each foot)
 Shoulder raising off the floor fires the upper abs; feet coming towards the ceiling fires the lower; and opposite hand-to-foot fires rotation from the obliques.

20 Spiderman Planks (10 touches to each side)
One of my favorite for dynamic control and abdominal stability. Try to go slow (3 count up and 3 count down) for a whole new kind of burn!

 
40 Flutter Kicks (20 on each leg)
Try to keep your back flat (spine against the floor) and your stomach sucked in while alternating flutter kicks.

40 Heel Touches (20 on each leg)
Shoulder blades stay up off the ground – alternating touching each heel.

 Repeat 3 times for 6-pack abs at home!

    I had total knee replacement in 2013 and 2014, and haven’t been able to get down on the floor to do my exercises I used to do. I really like the exercises you demonstrate, but I need exercises to do on my bed, until I am able to get down on the floor. Do you have any, that you can demonstrate?

      Hi Pauline! Congratulations/condolences on your new knees! I know coming back from that procedure can be difficult, but I applaud your efforts to stay fit and active despite knee discomfort!
      In thinking about your knees, here’s one of my favorite lower-body workouts for people in just your position – https://tone-and-tighten.com/2015/05/leg-workout-with-knee-pain.html A lot of these can be done on your bed and are great at keeping your core and lower body strong!
      Hope that helps!
      Jared
