This advanced ab workout is a great way to tone your abs while also getting some good cardio in. The workout is designed so you’ll do 1 rep of one exercise and 9 reps of the next exercise. Then you’ll do 2 reps of the first exercise and 8 of the other exercise. Remarkably, you’ll have done 100 reps of each exercise by the end!
In this workout, we’ll be doing many of the exercises “hard count” (HC). Examples: with mountain climbers, you count bringing the right and left knee up as one rep. With plank to knee taps, you count going to the right and left as one rep. For side shuffles, you shuffle to the right and the left as one rep.

Target Muscles: rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, obliques
