Total Ab Workout in 30 Minutes

Get Abs of Steel Total Ab Workout

If you think that you can’t get a total ab workout in 30 minutes then you are most likely not training intense enough. This exercise plan can be implemented any day of the week or even on your cardio workout day and it has one purpose in mind – to get you abs of steel.

The best thing about this workout is that you need no equipment other than an exercise ball as it focuses on using your body weight and gravity to give you a challenge that is fit for an athlete.

We’re going to take it up a notch and keep your rest periods both between sets and between exercises to 30 seconds flat. This will allow you to work up a really good sweat and also get your metabolism to spike so you burn a good amount of abdominal fat.

By the way, getting those abs to show requires a pretty awesome healthy meal plan so you feel totally satisfied with what you eat and also has all the nutrients your body needs to burn fat. That’s why I put together this Sexy Flat Abs Meal Plan which has a full 7day/week meal plan full of clean eating recipes and snacks. Do it now as I have a time limited Promo Code “3030” for you to get an additional 30% off the full package.  I’ll also offer a full money back guarantee so if you don’t get the results you want then you’ll have nothing to lose but that pesky belly fat.

Total Ab Workout in 30 Minutes

Do all these exercises in a row with 30 second breaks between each. Once you have completed them all run through it all again 2 more times.

This total ab workout will target all three sections of your abs including lower, mid and upper sections and even bring in other major muscles of your body to really get the sweat going.

Pretty killer hey?!

Now let’s talk a little about ab nutrition to make sure you get the most of these workouts…

Total Ab Workout Nutrition

This total ab workout workout will function as a double whammy by building your core strength and boosting your metabolism but we want to make sure that our pre and post workout nutrition is able to both provide us enough energy to go super intense and also to replenish our muscles afterwards to keep them in optimal shape.

I have found most success with my clients by having them include:

Pre-workout: a high quality easy to absorb whey protein such as Optimum Platinum Hydrowhey blended with half a banana and a few tablespoons of fruit yogurt between 45 minutes to 60 minutes before working out. Then a creatine energy mix such as Essential Amino Energy about 30 minutes before working out.

Post-workout: within 45 minutes after working out make sure to replenish your muscles with a post workout recovery such as Muscle Pharm Recon.

This pre and post workout nutrition regimen is fantastic for injecting motivation and energy for your workout and then feeding your body with the essential amino acids and vitamins for recovery and lean muscle production. I’ve asked a number of trainers, nutrition specialists, and athletes about this kind of regimen and to my surprise this is what they are all recommending so definitely do not dismiss this when you’re looking for optimal results.
