Workout Your Abs — Without Crunches!

I often get questions asking for workouts that focus on the abdominals.

If you are doing a workout that targets a specific part of your body, you need to work all of the muscles in that area — so don’t get into the mindset that training your core by doing crunches will automatically result in abdominal definition. The key to a STRONG core is to use a range of exercises that target all of the abdominal muscles, including your obliques and deeper abdominal muscles.

Try this fast no-crunches workout for your core

This workout uses some of the exercises in my High Intensity Zero Equipment program. 

Because it requires no equipment, it’s a workout you can do anywhere, at any time. 

It’s also a quick workout you can do in less than 10 minutes, so it’s a great option if you are having a busy day — the aim is to do each of the eight exercises for 30 seconds, and complete 2 laps. 

Don’t forget your warm-up, and then get ready to work your abs — no crunches required!

My training programs work every part of your body

Workouts with ab exercises should only make up one part of your training routine — all my programs have workouts that target muscle groups across your WHOLE body, which is the best way to get results. 

If you want a program that is really flexible, High Intensity Zero Equipment with Kayla has shorter Express workouts, giving you more options to fit your training routine in with your lifestyle.
