I can't do the cable crunches the right way - I tried, but even with Charlie's assistance I just couldn't do it. So instead I did 5 lb weights in each hand and did weighted crunches straight up to the ceiling. I did that 4 rounds 20 x each. And then the burpees are still hard but I pushed myself to do 10 of them for the 3 rounds as shitty as they might look and I'm really feeling proud.

GOAL
We’re thickening the density of your abdominal wall for a proper 6-pack. My favorite exercise for abs, ever. 

DETAILS
1. Use a close grip attachment and pick a challenging weight. 
2. Get on your hands and knees and walk back about 6 feet from the machine. 
3. Squeeze your elbows around your head. 
4. Hover over the space ahead of you. 
5. Begin by crunching the belly button into the spine. 
6. Find your balance and isolate the ab crunch. 
7. Avoid pushing the hips back towards your feet as you crunch. 

CUES 
- Hollow Rock
- Hover

Cable Crunch

GOAL 
Build some killer obliques with this one. These can help with the "V" that everyone is obsessed with, but can also add a little width to your sides so find the balance you want.

DETAILS
1. Feet are shoulder width apart, posture is perfect and upright. Butt n gut squeezed. 
2. With a dumbbell in one hand. Bend to that side. Pretend you're a lil organic, frosted pastry in a toaster. Don't bend back or forward because your golden skin will get burned. 
3. As you're bending to the side, don't push the hips to the side either. Everything is stationary, just the torso is compressed. You are not wiggling those hips. 
4. Return to starting position and repeat each side.

CUES
- Squeeze Ass
- Don't Get Burned
- Hips In Place
- Posture is Upright AF
- Ribs Tucked

Side Bends

GOAL
Move from the abs, not the lower back

DETAILS
1. Sit on the butt with the knees bent and heels on the ground. 
2. With a kettlebell, grab the horns. 
3. Begin by crunching the abs and beginning the rep by crunching & rotating.
4. Maintain a proud belly button & chest. 
5. Do not round the lower back too much or relax the abs. 
6. Tap the kb on each side of your hip. 

CUES 
- Crunch Abs
- Proud Chest
- Twist from Abs

Russian Twists

GOAL
Obliques and upper back 

DETAILS
1. Perfect side plank aka squeeze glutes. 
2. Grab a 2-5lb dumbbell and rear delt fly it back to parallel. 
3. 10 reps each side. 

CUES
- Shoulder Blade Retraction & Depression

Side Plank Rear Delt Flys

Ab Circuit 🔥

Max reps burpees. 

3-5 = minimum. 
8 = awesome. 
10-12 = epic. 

Then do a farmer carry OR do a dB hold if you can’t wait. 1 min. Proud chest!

GOAL
Accumulate a high amount of work load through pressing, hip flexion and jumping #HeavyBreathing 

DETAILS
1. Bend over and reach the hands to the ground.
2. Jump the feet back into a plank position.
3. Lower the whole body to lay on the floor.
4. Press up off the floor and jump your feet under your hands (optional: scale by stepping one leg under your shoulders at a time.)
5. Return to a standing position with feet under your hips.
6. Jump up and clap overhead.
7. Repeat until sweat turns into blood

Pro-tip: Burpees are extremely mentally challenging. You will hit mind failure before you hit muscle failure, so zone in and kill this shit. 

CUES
- Chest to Ground
- Feet Replace Hands
- Breathe with a Rhythm

Burpees

GOAL 
Posture, forearms, core and traps of a tank

1. Holding onto a dumbbell or kettlebell in each hand, stand tall and keep a forward gaze as you walk forward maintaining good posture.
2. Keep the dumbbells or kettlebells 1-2" away from your body.
3. Start to walk forward, while maintaining perfect balance and stability.
4. Avoid rocking side to side. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Minimize Rocking

As always a great add on to any post workout!

Summer Shred Day 10

Loving my results - down 4 pounds - in 2 weeks. Although it could’ve been more if I follow nutrient information

Tyeisha

Working out at home, I didn’t have access to the required equipment for the first few - but that’s where it gets fun and creative to find alternatives. I did the windshield wipers on the floor with a 15lb dumbbell, subbed the plate push/sled for 10 min of jump rope, and did the leg raises on the floor. No excuses, let’s get it!
