One of the most popular goals in all of fitness is achieving the coveted “six-pack”. It’s not out of the ordinary to see people doing hundreds of reps of ab exercises in hopes that their mid-section becomes more chiseled. The goal of this program is to show you that not only is that approach not necessary, but it’s also not all that helpful in terms of transferring over to performance in sports or your other lifts.
        In this program, you’ll train not just your abs, but your entire core (abs, obliques, hip flexors, etc.). If you want strong abs and a strong core to aid you in your “big lifts” (think squat, deadlift, overhead press, etc.), then you need to train to get stronger. This program will not give you an insane amount of volume or a ridiculous amount of exercises. There are three exercises each day that attack your core from just about every angle to help not only with the aesthetic appeal you’re after, but helping you become a more efficient mover/athlete as well.
 
What equipment you will need
Resistance bands and/or a cable tower
A barbell
A pull-up bar (not necessary if a squat rack and barbell are present)
Dumbbells and/or kettlebells
A trap bar (not necessary, but recommended)
A stability ball (not necessary, but recommended)
 
Amount of time you will need for each workout
This is meant to be an add-on to whatever workout you are currently doing. Each workout can be finished in 15-20 minutes.
 
Longevity of workout program
There are six workouts and each workout has four weeks mapped out. However, I’m not necessarily advocating that you do six isolated core/ab workouts each week. Sprinkle two, maybe three workouts in each week.
 
Level of difficulty
Intermediate. Anyone can give these workouts a shot, but make sure you have a basic understanding of how to properly brace and create the necessary tension in your abs to stabilize your spine. With many of these exercises potentially being unfamiliar, I would caution any beginners to take things slow and use lighter weight until you are comfortable with the movements.
 
Recommended use of program (in-season, off-season, etc.)
Regardless of who is using these workouts, they are a great option to add onto the end of a workout. I would caution you against trying to do multiple core/ab workouts in one day. If you push yourself hard enough (and do so intelligently), one of these workouts is more than enough.
