Lower abs, anyone?

Yes – stomach definition.

So sought-after in today’s world but somehow so elusive to so many of us.

Today I wanted to cut you in on a little secret – the hardest part of your abs to work (and therefore the last section to get that definition) is your LOWER ABS.

There aren’t many moves that train them directly and they’re often overpowered by some of the larger muscle groups in your stomach.

Well not any longer.

We’re coming at you today, lower abs, and we’re doing it in a non-stop barrage of exercises that will leave you exhausted.

If it’s stomach definition you want, you’re going to take a big step in the right direction by incorporating this workout regularly.

Here we go….

Looking for a great way to intensify your ab workouts and take your core to the next level? There are two sure-fire ways to do it…

Try some new exercises and add weight!

All-too-often we think “ab workouts” need to entail a million sit ups and crunches to yield toned and fit results. Not true!

I encourage clients and patients all the time to get up off the floor and try something new. It’s actually a more functional way to train your core, can be easier on your back and neck, and yield amazing results.

Today I’m sharing with you eight of my favorite standing abs exercises compiled in one awesome core workout you can do right from home.

All you need for this workout is one dumbbell (or any type of resistance – even a big water bottle would do!) and you will be feeling this in no time!

No weights at home or weights too difficult? No problem – just do it without the weight. I’ve got beginner as well as advanced versions of each exercise demonstrated in the video below.

Bonus: NO CRUNCHES REQUIRED! You will be standing the entire workout!

15-Minute Core Workout With Weights

August 30, 2018

This 15-minute ab workout with weights will take your abs to a whole new level of strength and definition. These are the best dumbbell ab exercises to tone your midsection and tighten up your six-pack. So grab your weights and lets get to work.

15-Minute Core Workout With Weights - 6 of the best dumbbell exercises to tone your abs and tighten your six pack.

15-Minute Core Workout With Weights

  1. Dumbbell Dying Bug – reciprocal limb motion to work all layers of your abs.
  2. Double Leg Raise with Dumbbell Jack – works upper and lower abs.
  3. Accordion Crunch with Military – a great core balance exercise.
  4. Dumbbell Heel Touches – great resisted exercise for the obliques and upper abs.
  5. Dumbbell Pike Crunch – add a new level of difficulty with a dumbbell between your feet.
  6. Side Plank Hip Dip – hold the weight on your lateral hip to add resistance to this oblique motion.

{Please keep reading below for a detailed description of each of these exercises and this workout.}

Are you sick of doing hundreds of sit ups and crunches and not seeing the ab results you desire?

Stop wasting your time and start adding some resistance to your core workouts.

Think about it – when was the last time you did 3 sets of 20 – 30 reps of crunches? I dare say the last core workout you did probably included these types of sets/reps.

Now think about the last time you did some barbell squats. Did you do 3 sets of 30? Absolutely not!

You probably added weight until you could perform 3 sets of 10 reps with a little struggle on numbers 8-10.

So the question needs to be asked – as you’ve been getting stronger and progressing resistance on all your exercises, why haven’t you applied the same principle to your abs/core?!

If you want to see progress and if you want your abs to get stronger and more defined you have to be doing some kind of resisted work… [PERIOD].

That’s why today I wanted to share with you 6 of my favorite dumbbell ab exercises in one amazing core workout with weights to sculpt your midsection and tone up that six pack….
