Very solid ab routine - just 5 minutes but you really feel them! Thank you, Lindsey

[catherinelair]

Thank you for ab work that doesn’t bother my neck

[lucyservo]

Wow this was fantastic. Perfect for beginners but still challenging. Thank you. I've been trying to find a good beginner core workout, and this is perfect

[Living.Fit.]

Great video, love your coaching style and energy💪💪

[sharon]

Great quick ab workout to do after your low impact sweat class! Also great to tone my 62 y/o abs!

[cheyannedavis]

Love these traditional exercises, such a good little burn! Thanks Lindsey!

Wicked! Finished my Sprint day, 8 sprints ! With us! Thank you Lindsey !

[tovameguira]

GREAT BURNER!! I added this one onto a 30 min jump rope cardio workout!! Perfect addition 🙌🏽🤩. Btw, I would love to see a jump rope workout from you guys!! It’s such a good different type of cardio and I do it at least one a week! ( if you don’t have a jump rope, you can use sweat towels, cordless ropes, or even socks, or nothing!). I think it would be a great sweaty workout!
Thank you SO MUCH 💓

Tummy burning 🔥 with those modified side plank toe touches and deadbugs!😊

[nytasharobinson]

Abs are feeling the fire with planks !

[okancaok]

Hello! Amazing workout! However, I find that during the first 2 exercises, if I don't raise my head off the mat, I feel a discomfort/light pain in my upper back, right between the scapulae. What does this mean and how can I make it go away? Is it linked to the insufficient bracing of the core? Thank you!

[learningbee]

Can I do this in second and third trimester??? Thank you for awesome pregnancy workouts!

[georginaroney]

For the modified side planks - once I lift my hip off of the floor - I can't unstick my top leg from the bottom. Is there something that I should be doing differently - or will this come in time? Also, I felt everything in my hips - is that normal? Thanks for the amazing workouts that you offer!
