5 Minute Total Ab Toning Workout

Lots and lots of you pretty ladies have been asking me for a quick ab toning workout that you can do straight from your living room and so here it is!

I am currently almost 20 weeks pregnant; however, as long as I am able, I love pleasing my whole audience since I realize not EVERY one of you ladies are pregnant! However, this is not meant to be an exercise for pregnant women.

Do I usually work my abs during pregnancy? No, not really. But, as my body is physically conditioned to still do some moves, I listen and take it slowly.

Here is a fun little workout that you can do in addition to my 12 week home workout bundle!

Also, be sure to follow me on Instagram and my Facebook page for free recipes, diet tips, workout videos, and motivation.

This is a quick and effective little ab workout that targets each part of your abs. You will totally feel the burn!

Here is a 5 minute ab workout that my non-preggo audience can certainly enjoy:

Side Plank Toe Touches: 3 sets of 10 reps per leg

Get into a side olank position. Using your forearm or your hand, lift your body up off of the ground. In one swift move, kick your top leg out to the front of you body and touch your toe. Bring your leg back to starting position and repeat.

Reverse Crunches: 3 sets of 15 reps

Laying on the ground on your back, lift both legs into the air. Placing your arms out to your sides, lift the lower half of your body and your legs upward as if you are trying to curl your entire body backward. Lower your body back downward and repeat.

Cross Body Mountain Climbers: 3 sets of 10 reps

Get into a mountain climber positon. Instead of moving your legs forward, alternate each leg to the side of your body, crossing over to “touch” the opposite side.

Plank Side Crunches: 3 sets of 10 reps per side

Get into a plank position either on the elbows or hands. Slowly bring your right leg up towards your side as if you were crunching your right side. Alternate and repeat for the left side.
