it’s your personal trainer coach Kozak\par and I’m Claudia and this is a 20-minute\par ab workout this routine is broken up\par into three parts and part one we’re\par going to work your overall core in part\par two we’re going to focus on those lower\par abdominals and in part three we’re going\par to crush those obliques follow me for\par the intermediate through Advanced\par exercises and follow me for the easier\par modifications all right let’s get right\par into it\par [Music]\par you\par [Music]\par we’re going to get started on the ground\par with the first one we’re going to get\par into a high plank position we’re both\par going to perform a high plank extension\par I’m going to extend with my opposite arm\par and leg where Claudia is just going to\par alternate extending from her arms\par throughout the course of today’s workout\par we’re not going to count any repetitions\par we’re just going to perform as many reps\par as we can and a lot of time period\par moving at your own pace you decide which\par one of these variations is right for you\par that’s right and we’re keeping our core\par nice and tight on these plank movements\par and remembering to breathe try your best\par keep that back nice and straight\par and if you’re performing the version\par with your legs go ahead and pull up\par using those glutes keep on breathing\par through make sure not to hold your\par breath whatever you do it will catch up\par with you if you do full extension the\par best you can let’s hit this one for just\par 10 more seconds making sure to breathe\par throughout four five four three two one\par zero good okay we’re moving to our backs\par for the next one we’re going to perform\par a frog talk I’m going to start from\par lying down where Claudia’s going to\par start with our upper body on a 45 degree\par angle I’m going to sit up bring my legs\par in tuck and return where Claudia is\par going to stay keep that upper body on a\par 45 degree angle throughout and she was\par going to go ahead and rest those feet in\par between repetitions what I’m going to\par try my best to keep my feet up so again\par you decide which one of these variations\par is going to be right for you today\par neither one of them are easy definitely\par not it’s just tough and tougher again\par make sure to breathe whole in keep that\par core nice and tight on every repetition\par it’s a constant time under tension\par that’s going to get you those ABS you’re\par looking for\par but I want those abs resting whatever\par you do don’t hit that pause button today\par just keep moving if you got to switch to\par the easier variation that’s alright just\par don’t give up let’s hit this one for\par class ten seconds fight through it guys\par rap by rap right here and five four\par three two one zero\par alright returning over for the next one\par getting back into that high plank\par position Claudia’s going to be on her\par knees I’m going to be up on my feet from\par a high plank position we’re going to\par walk out and out in front the best you\par can and then walk back again you decide\par that the better if you do this one on\par your knees or up on your feet either way\par keep that core nice and tight this one’s\par a killer definitely I’m sure to keep\par those abs contracted you don’t want your\par butt way up in the air and you don’t\par want your butt sinking trying your best\par to keep your back flat throughout\par blocking out less you can feel it and\par then walk back as you get into it get a\par little more confident in it so you’ll\par forget to test your abilities a little\par more and walk out as far as you can okay\par if you walk out and can get back up just\par means you’re pushing the pace you can’t\par change without being challenged and this\par one is definitely meant to challenge you\par pushing yourself because nobody else can\par or will do it for you here we go guys\par you got it keep it moving let’s hit this\par one for ten more seconds almost there\par come on all the way out and five four\par three two one zero\par nice job okay we’re going to turn over\par for the next one under our backs we’re\par moving into a flutter kick so I wouldn’t\par place those hands at the small of your\par back and tailbone I’m going to have my\par legs out straight for this one but\par Claudia’s going to have her knees bent\par at about a 90 degree angle you decide\par which variation is right for you but\par either way we’re going from about it has\par zero to a 45 on those flutter kicks to\par the adds tight once you also if you feel\par a little string or pressure in your low\par back curl the chin in a little chin tuck\par and that will help keep your lower back\par on the ground on this one to relieve any\par little lower back tension that you may\par have again make sure to breathe this is\par a great one for those lower that lower\par abdominal area just burning it out right\par here guys and as this workout progresses\par and it keeps getting tougher it’s so\par important that you focus on what\par motivates you what brought you here\par whether you just want to have a killer\par six packs trying to get better at sports\par or just trying to dominate at life\par whatever it may be focus on it and stay\par focused out it on it throughout this\par workout let’s go ten more seconds on\par these flutter kicks I know it’s burning\par right through that burn guys fight\par through it and five four three two one\par zero\par all right let’s turn over we’re getting\par into a low plank position\par Chloe is just going to get in that low\par point position and hold well I’m going\par to do a plank hike so I’m going to bring\par one knee up curl my chin and tuck in and\par return next leg again and return you\par decide which one of these variations is\par right for you if you’re good just\par holding that plank position or if you\par want a little extra work you want to get\par a little crazy with me on this one if\par you’re doing this plank variation make\par sure you return all the way back to\par square your back straight in between\par anyway we’re keeping that core tight you\par don’t want your butt up in the air and\par you don’t want it sinking on this one\par make sure to breathe and go to that\par happy place on this one you got it one\par wrap into the next stay tough on this\par one guys it’s all about that mental\par toughness if it were easy everybody be\par fit but they’re not come on let’s hit\par this

our\par glutes we’re going to drive off those\par heels drive the glutes up and at the\par same time we’re going to reach up and\par across our shoulder listen from my side\par reaching up and across we’re rolling on\par to that opposite side shoulder as we\par come up and drive off those heels and\par every time not at the top and want you\par to squeeze your lower abdominal area as\par well as your glutes this is a great one\par for juster overall core making sure to\par breathe don’t hold your breath on this\par one if you feel like this one’s a little\par too much you can just go and do a\par traditional hip up you decide which is\par right for you\par move it at a pace that you’re pushing\par yourself but at the same time you feel\par comfortable you got it one wrap into the\par

bend down as far as you can and\par then turn pivot reach and return so\par we’re going out as far as you can\par without having to pivot and then when\par you can’t anymore\par go ahead pivot and reach down to that\par foot you can’t quite get all the way to\par the foot that’s okay do the best you can\par and all this one takes a little bit of\par coordination\par we even had a practice this one earlier\par that’s alright but it does work and you\par can immediately feel it hitting those\par obliques so again it’s okay if you can’t\par quite reach all the way down do the best\par you can\par this one definitely has the added\par benefit of getting a little bit of\par mobility and flexibility working it as\par well nice let’s get into that rhythm one\par into the next this is it
