5 Minute Abs


Remember those infomercials back in the day about 8 Minute Abs? Those crazy exercises that person made you do that "guaranteed" results, talk about the changing of the times. These days, there are more gimmicks out there than real world class training using simple exercises and many people can't tell the difference (the reason...Marketing). 

It has been proven that very short workouts can create extremely powerful results from Micro Workouts to Circuits that will kick your ass. Is it possible to get a solid workout within 5 minutes? Absolutely, they can be tough as hell but with the right attitude you can make it through. Now, some exercises you might need to progress because certain variations can be too much on someone's body and can cause injuries and come on now, if you get injured what good are you to anyone? You don't need to do advanced variations of certain exercises, just keep it basic and you'll have a way better chance of getting awesome results. 

One of the things I like to do is take as very few exercises as possible and go for as many rounds as I can (without getting sloppy and maintaining a pace that is efficient). Core Conditioning is a very important entity to have in your arsenal because it doesn't just help build muscle, it strengthens the organs and could help prevent injuries to the lower back. A 6 Pack can be the cherry on top but a stronger core will get you going a hell of a lot longer. One of the best pieces of equipment to make that happen is the Power Wheel.

The Power Wheel goes beyond just doing a few rollouts, you can strap yourself in and do all sorts of exercises that will challenge your Core like no other. Forget the crunches and sit-ups, they're good to a degree but the Wheel strengthens you in a much quicker time and has greater effectiveness than typical everyday Ab exercises. Want a stronger Core that takes only a few minutes a day? Check this out after you have developed some good strength, all with the Wheel....

10 Rollouts

10 Hamstring Curls

10 Knee Pull-Ins

10 Push-ups

Do as many rounds as you can in 5 minutes. That may not sound like much but it's a killer workout and will hit muscles in your body you didn't think could be hit. If you feel you aren't ready for that, a couple rounds can be good to start with. Don't rush it, build up and rest if you need to between exercises or rounds. Also, don't use sloppy form either, this is meant to be smooth and fast without compromising anything. Once you get stronger, go for time, if 5 minutes is too easy for you, go for more reps or for more time. The idea is to get in a great workout that is short, simple yet ass kicking. 

Have fun and always strive train and be the best version of you. Build an Iron Core.
