10 Minute Abs Exercise Routine: Home Ab Workout

Fitness Blender's 10 Minute Abs Routine targets the entire abdominal panel, and obliques. The abdominal and obliques exercises in the home routine below are combined with cardio intervals to keep your heart rate up and help burn the most fat.

This can easily be a beginner abs workout routine or a very advanced abs workout; you can adapt each of the exercises to your own fitness level by choosing the level of difficulty that best suits you. All that you need for this routine is a thick mat.

Program Structure:
Do each of the exercises for 60 seconds. Don’t worry if you can’t do each component for a full minute; stop briefly when you need to but return to the move as soon as possible to finish out the full minute.


Jumping Oblique Twists

Pilates Hundreds

Windshield Wipers

Jumping jacks

Russian Twists

Pilates Side Hip Raises- 30 seconds each side

Captain Morgan’s - 30 seconds each side

Burpees

Toe Touch Crunch

Pilates Table Top


Complete twice through for a quick twenty minute workout, and three times through for the most toning benefits.

If you do the easiest versions of these exercises, this is not overly challenging and is perfect for beginners. For a more intense challenge, try the hardest version of all of the abs exercises and home cardio workout moves in order to increase both the demand on your core and your caloric burn.

It is a good idea to combine any abdominal routine with a complimentary back strengthening routine. And remember; abs are made in the kitchen. You've got to eat clean and work to reach a healthy bodyweight before you'll ever see any of your hard work show up in the form of ab muscles.


Blend this home workout routine with at least one other of the programs listed below for maximum calorie burn and total body toning:

38 Minute Booty Boot Camp video - A bodyweight routine for inner and outer thigh and glutes
26 Minute Total Body Boot Camp Video - No equipment necessary

How Often Should You Work Out Your Abs?

If you really want washboard abs, you've got to put the work in every day. Right? Actually, crushing your ab routine everyday might do more harm than good.  “People have the idea that if they do an hour of ab exercises that that’s going to chisel their abs and burn fat from that area—the old spot-reduction approach,” says Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at Quincy College in Quincy, MA. But realistically, Westcott says you should train your core no more than three days a week. While by now you know that spot-reduction is a myth, when you overtrain your abs at lower intensities, core work becomes an endurance-type activity rather than a strength- and muscle-building activity, Westcott explains.

How to Gain Weight the Healthy Way - Building Muscle, Curve Shape

140-Pound Woman Joins The 1,000 Club

From nothingness, the universe was created. From a simple caterpillar, a butterfly emerges. A dorky teen grows up to be a fashion model, or a bodybuilder. The one constant in life is change, and in our  Transformation of the Week  series, AskMen is celebrating men and women who have turned their lives around through dedication, commitment and hard work. Is that you? Email us your story and pictures at askus@askmen.com and you could be featured next week! Reaching the 1,000-pound club is an impressive feat for any lifter man or woman. It is essentially a standard by which many lifters measure themselves to be “strong.” To join the club, add the total weight you can lift in a squat, bench press and deadlift. If the total is more than 1,000, you’re in. And if you’re not in, it does not mean you’re weak. In fairness, that’s a damn lot of weight. Which made it all the more impressive when Gabrielle Tucker announced on a Reddit thread that she had...
