Great workout! 11/10 recommend! Only suggestion is more hanging leg raises!

It was great I found a better set up for the incline db sit-ups

It was good but my set up right now at home I can’t do incline situps

I’ll be honest, I don’t like doing core. However, this is one core routine I don’t mind. The first few exercises (body weight) are just to get the body warmed up. 

The sets of weighted Incline Sit-Ups & Oblique Crunches are the meat of the workout. Start light, increase weight over time! 

I like to do this routine three times per week in addition to the other training I am doing.

Begin with a dead hang. Raise your knees to your chest, pause, drive knees down. Repeat.

Hanging Knee Raises

Floor mat sit-ups. More a stretch/warmup than anything!

Sit-Ups

Slightly more difficult, body getting warm!

V-Ups

Arch Ups

Ten toes to bar, this is the final warm up exercise.

Toes to Bar

Hold a dumbbell or a plate tight to your chest. Keep abs/core engaged the entire time. Start light, work your way up to heavier weight over time. Add Oblique Crunches (see next exercise) in between sets.

Weighted Incline Sit-Ups

Standing Oblique Crunches. Stand tall, make sure the dumbbell tracks down the side of your leg. Do not be jerky, you want slow and smooth movements on this one. Start light, work your way up in weight over time. Add these in between sets of Incline Sit-Ups (see previous exercise). 10 reps on right + 10 reps on the left = 1 set.
