Six Pack Abs 7 Day Challenge

Jul 19, 2013 by Tatianna

 

Hello My Loves,

Since all of you guys enjoyed the last Abs & Core challenge with great results, I decided to make another one, but this one is only going to be 7 days. This challenge is going to revolve around one of my favorite as I call it ” Results giving ” exercises which I actually don’t like doing so much, but it’s extremely effective. The exercise I’m talking about is ” The L-Sit Hold “. We will be it daily in addition to a different exercise each day. The L-Sit Hold is actually a very popular exercises with gymnasts, because it helps them to really strengthen their Core muscles, which in turn helps them to manipulate their bodies in the way that they do.

For all the Newbies to Loving Fit

If you are new to Loving Fit I recommend to check out ” Creating Your Workout Plan ” post. There you will be able to see how I put together my routines, and you can find something for your own fitness level. My philosophy is: Form is always more important than speed, so WATCH YOUR FORM!

Things to remember before, during and after your workout

1. Warm-Up
2. Always Practice Good Form
3. Stretch

 

 

Challenge Explanations

 

For this workout you will need your Gymboss Timer, either Lebert Equalizer, Dip Station or if you don’t have either of them, you can simply use 2 chairs for the L-Sit exercises.

You can add this challenge before or after your workouts, I’m going to do it after my workouts. If you don’t have a workout on a specific day, make sure to do a tiny warm-up before beginning this challenge.

Every day, you will do 2 exercises, for the total of 7 rounds. Each day, you will set your Gymboss Timer for 2 intervals, first interval is 40 seconds, second interval is 25 second ( total of 7 rounds ). For the 40 sec, you will do the first exercise for that specific day, for the 25 seconds you will always do and Isometric L-Sit exercise.

Day 1

• 2 Way Jump-Out Plank
• Isometric L-Sit

Day 2

• Knee Ups Butt Lift & V-Hold
• Isometric L-Sit

Day 3

• Elbow Plank To Side Plank
• Isometric L-Sit

Day 4

• Elevated Plank Cross Overs

Day 5

• Slow 3 count Bicycle
• Isometric L-Sit

Day 6

Day 7

Your goal is to try to keep your legs straight on the Isometric L-Sits as much as you can, if you can’t yet, don’t worry about it, bend your legs until you are able to build up to the harder version.

 

Have a wonderful weekend Lovies and have fun with this challenge!
