Welcome to the first Happily Hughes Bootcamp post. These are leading up to a very fun challenge starting in March- so stay tuned! Many of you have emailed me in regards to a lower ab workout so I put together my favorite exercises for you. I do the above circuit as follows:
1. Heel Taps x50
2. Russian Twists x50
3. Froggers x50
4. Plank with knee towards chest: 45 seconds each leg
5. Pike x50
If you can’t do 50 yet, that’s ok! Do as many as you can and move on to the next one. You can do this!
I love doing planks. They are one of my favorite exercises.
Me too! Let's do the together!
Thanks for the excise tips – I will give them a try. I know I will not be able to do 50 – I think I'll start with 15 each.
OMG My tummy is getting worse with age and I think I am doing everything right, except sitting at my computer all day blogging and probalby not sucking in my belly
As long as you try that's all that matters!
+DeDa Studios never say never! I didn't think I could do 50 either but with a little practice you will be able to do many more than that! I never thought I would be able to do a 60 min zumba workout either until a few days ago! Don't give up!!
+Masshole Momma I totally agree…planking is one of my favourites too.
Heather: exactly! You can do it!!!
I should be doing this but right now I can't even breathe without it hurting. That said you really rocked those exercise pinning this for when I feel better.
Feel better friend!
This is a great one for the pin boards. Thanks for the tips!
Mil, thank you!!
Great exercises! I will hopefully be giving them a try soon 🙂
Go Sandra GO!
I definitely need to do this!
Yes you do! Go Lisa!
The lower ab area is definitely one of my weaker spots! These look like reasonable exercises that I could manage!
You can do it!
Oh man I hate all of those exercises! LOL Not looking forward to doing them again after baby arrives.
Ahahaha Jenny this comment made my day! You'll do great mama. Congratulations!
Looks like work. Good for you.
Thanks for sharing this – I need to give it a try.
Heather let me know how it works!
Thanks for the photo tutorial! I'm a visual person and always find it helpful to see someone actually doing the workout so that I can try to mimic it. Thanks for this bootcamp post!
Absolutely! Always here to help!
After 3 kids, I could definitely use some work on my abs. Not to mention the ice cream. That probably doesn't help, either.
HA! That dang ice cream always gets in the way 😉
Oh, boy, I can't tell you how much I need to do these 🙂
Go Lois, GO!
I like the encouragement at the end. AND I like those pink Nikes!!
I have a big secret- I stalk the Nike outlets and found these for $30!
Because of my back I don't do that much planking but when I was fit and healthy it was the one thing I loved. Great exercise workout.
Just focus on the crunches and you'll do great!
Ive been needing a new lower ab workout. thanks for sharing !
My pleasure!
I totally need to get in shape and this is definitely motivating for me! I need to take your tips!
Go Krystal Go!
Wish you had a before and then maybe later show an after shot. These look easy enough!
Lexie, follow me on Instagram- I have those photos on there 🙂
Thanks for sharing this exercise. My Abs do need a good workout.
You can do it Melissa!
OH I will add these into my routine. Thanks for sharing.
I still don't quite get how Russian Twists work. Help! Haha!
I'd be happy to! Email me and I'll send a video 😉
This exercise circuit seems killer! It is not for the inexperienced.
But you can do it!
These are great. I need to get working on my ab muscles again.I need to get back into shape
Bikini season is on the way! You can do it my dear.
Great tips. Thanks for sharing. I need to find more time to do circuits like this
This one takes about 5 minutes!
