10 Minute Express Ab Challenge with Kayla Itsines
June 4, 2020
The SWEAT Challenge is almost here.
This is a chance for women around the world to show that we can be stronger together.
I have created six weeks of exclusive Sweat Challenge workouts for women, and you can join me and women around the world as we work out together.
If you haven’t signed up yet, the Sweat Challenge starts on June 8, 2020, and you can join up until June 28.
Try a quick workout if you’re short on time
My Sweat Challenge has two at-home workout options you can choose from. If you want to do bodyweight workouts, choose the “No equipment” program.
The “Equipment” option is for anyone who has access to some basic home gym equipment; a chair, skipping rope and dumbbells.
There are also two levels of difficulty: "Starting Out" is for anyone who is new to working out, or just beginning a fitness journey.
The "Challenge Me" option has workouts that are a bit harder and have been created for those members who have been working out regularly and want to progress their fitness.
My shorter Express workout will focus on ab or leg training. I believe a quick workout is better than not moving at all, especially on the days you’re feeling really time-poor!
My exclusive Sweat Challenge workout: Ab training
My Express workouts in the Sweat Challenge are shorter, optional workouts that you can complete in addition to the required resistance sessions. There will be new Express workouts weekly for the duration of the Challenge to help build and strengthen your core or legs.
The below workout is focused on abs, and can be done in just 10 minutes. It requires no equipment, so you can do it anywhere, anytime.
Don’t forget to get a good warm-up first to make sure your body is ready to train.
It’s time to work your abs!
