Hey, guys. Natalie, Jill here. And today we're doing an at home advanced ab workout. We're going to use our own body weight and I'm going to use some of my favorite Librett equalizer bars with them. Now, if you don't have the bars yet, you can do them without the bars. I'm going to show you the modifications you can make. But I love using these bars to advance my bodyweight workouts. And I give them so much credit for helping keep me lean, healthy and strong because they really help you progress your body weight workout. So the first exercise we're going to start, you could do them on the floor if you don't have bars, or you could do it with a lowered squat rack or. Or if you have bars, we're going to turn them down on the side right here. And this is great for your wrists because instead of having your wrist flat, we're going to be grasping them. We're going to go to a plank position right here. And I want you to hold. Now I want your back flat. Holding, squeezing, engaging your core. Now we're going to take it to knee, to opposite elbow or wrist, your choice. And it's just bringing it over just like that and back out. We're just going to start with alternating. So you're either on the floor or on the bars or a lowered squat rack, but just in and out. Now, if this is too hard for you, you can always come up higher using a higher squat rack, a couch, something up higher so you can make it a little bit easier. Just back and forth, just like this. You'll start to see that you feel these in the abs pretty quick. Few more right here.
Nice. Okay, take a mini breather break and we're going to go back to that position. But this time we're going to take knee to same side, wrist or elbow, and we're going to alternate there. Are you ready? Take it back to plank position. And then side, side, just like this.
We feel it in that core, those abs.
Strong arms, strong back, strong cor.
Got one more each side.
Good job. All right, we're ready to move on to something a little bit more advanced. Are you ready? Okay, if you've got the bars, we're going to bring them up just like this. Now, if you don't have bars, this is something you can do at a gym with a tricep dip bar or you can use two benches. I love these bars. For this reason. You really can progress things. And I'm going to show you what I'm Doing here? So I'm holding this. And what I'm going to do is I'm just going to tuck my knees up just like this. Are you ready? Tuck. Little movement.
So we're working our arms some, but we're really getting those abs, especially those lower abs. Make sure you're breathing. Tuck it.
Give me three more right here.
Nice. Shake it out. Take a breath. Okay, we're going to move on from that same hold. But this time we're taking it to a bicycle movement. Are you ready? Take it up. And just a small bicycle movement right here. Using those abs.
Now you'll feel this. I love body weight training. You can use multiple parts. You'll feel this in your arms for sure, but you're also going to really get it in your abs. Little bicycle movement. If you work in a sweat. Let's go a few more.
Shake it out. Okay. The next move I'm going to show you is extremely advanced. So whether you can do this for a second or five seconds or working it up to 30 seconds or a minute, the more you work on this, the more you'll progress. And just the act of working on progressing and getting that intensity up is going to change those abs. Help develop that core, give you that strong, flat belly, tight midsection. So this is just an L. Sit. So holding on here and lift your legs up just like this. Hold. Squeeze. Who doesn't take a lot. Few seconds if you can.
And bring it back down and you'll notice just a few seconds on that, you'll start to really feel it. Now you can do all these things without bars. However, I highly suggest these bars. I love the libra equalizer bars because it really helps you progress your body weight, get your body fat down. They are awesome for your training. And you might even recognize someone on the box to get the rose gold ones. For more information on deliberate equalizer bars, make sure you check out the link below.
