This is a workout I have loved for years and wanted to share because it’s highly effective, equipment-free, and can be done anywhere, which many people are needing right now in these crazy times.

I never thought I would have six-pack abs, but this workout along with proper diet and weightlifting helped me get there!

In addition to the 15-minute ab routine, there is a 5-minute bonus mobility, stretching, and flexibility drill at the end. If done all the way through, it takes about 20 minutes total and is very challenging. I performed this workout nonstop all the way through for the purposes of the video shoot, so you will see me struggling on many of these exercises!

To follow along with the YouTube video for this workout, go to: Wise-Eats.com/AbShredder

Exercise List
Perform Each Movement for 25 Repetitions

• Seated Leg Extensions (00:40)
• Bicycles Forward (1:20)
• Bicycles Reverse (1:45)
• Wrapping Crunches (2:25)
• Reaching Sit Ups (3:10)
• Ab Switches (5:00)
• Hip Thrusts (6:30)
• Reverse Crunches (8:00)
• Roll-Up/V-Up Combo (10:50)
• Oblique V-Up Right Side (11:00)
• Oblique V-Up Left Side (11:45)
• Leg Climbs (12 Reps per Side) (12:40)
• Russian Twists (30-50 Reps) (14:20)

Cool Down & Mobility

Please don’t forget to click thumbs up and subscribe if you liked this video. I put out as much quality stuff as I can and really appreciate the feedback/support!

Exercise Form Tips

• Don’t forget to breathe and take breaks if needed!

• Seated Leg Extensions – Rest your hands on the floor for support or raise them in the air if you’re more advanced.

• Bicycles – Keep your chest up and make big circles with your legs. Support with your hands on the floor or raise them in the air for advanced!

• Wrapping Crunches – Arms spread wide, wrap tight and open. Flex your feet and extend legs straight out, flexing those quads.

• Reaching Sit Ups – I always do wide leg. Sit cross-leg style if you want more challenge. Stare straight up and don’t tuck your chin. This is a long one so be sure to keep going.

• Ab Switches – This is the hardest move in my opinion. Always a challenge. This is slow paced, so don’t get ahead of the count. Fight to keep your legs straight. Heels up!

• Hip Thrusts – Use your core – not momentum – to power your legs skyward. Tighten your core and use it to kick those feet high in the air.

• Tailbone Thrusts – Legs straight, heels in the air, pulse straight up in the air, get some elevation, and flex that booty!

• Roll-Up/V-Up Combo – Hands point up to the ceiling. Keep the legs as straight as possible. As your lower back reaches the floor you come up for a good crunch or “pulse up”.

• Oblique V-Ups Each Side – Keep your legs straight. Keep feet from touching the floor and do a solid crunch at the top. Do these with intensity and get your elbow to your thigh if you can!

• Leg Climbs – There are multiple variations – One grab, two grabs, no grabs. I usually do multiple grabs because it feels most natural. Plus, at this point, I’m exhausted and just want to get up my leg as quickly as possible!

• Russian Twists – If you’re a beginner, the goal is 30 reps, but we count up to 50 in the video. Hang in there and do as many as you can. I can usually get 30-40 without stopping. Do as many as YOU can and get better every time! And if you’re some kind of superman or woman that can do more than 50, keep it going until you can’t go anymore. And leave a comment down below on YouTube or email me at WiseEatsPodcast@gmail.com because I love meeting superheroes.

• I appreciate you hanging in there! This is a tough workout! I’m working right along with you, you’ve got this!

========================

Notes:

If this workout is beyond your skill level, you can cut the reps in half and do 10-15 reps per exercise instead or modify the movements to your capability. Better to do some of it than nothing at all! Just get better every single time. Usually, I do the entire routine, but some days, I’ll just pick a few of the movements and do those on their own. Or, I’ll do one half of the workout today and the rest tomorrow. Do as much as you can handle and GO FOR IT!

You’re doing over 300 total repetitions in this workout. I recommend that you take breaks to ensure that you’re able to perform the movements safely and with maximal effort for the greatest result (ABS BABY!)

Personally, I train abs 1-3 days per week and keep it separate from my normal weightlifting sessions. I’ll usually do it first thing in the morning, especially if I have another hard work out later in the day. And I ALWAYS prefer to do this outside in the sun, when possible (that goes for all exercise, actually). The beauty of this workout is that it doesn’t require equipment, so it can be done anytime, anywhere!

Here are some of my other favorite ab exercises:

• Captain’s Chair Leg Raises
• Ab Rope Pull-Downs
• Decline Sit-Ups
• Ab Blaster / Kettlebell Routines (Pull-Overs, Mason Twists, etc.)
• Planks
• Ab Wheel Rollouts

Why I Love This Workout

This is one of the workouts that originally got me to fall in love with exercise back in 2009. At that time, I was 90lbs overweight and extremely unhealthy. The truth is, this ab routine is great, but if you really want to make progress, you need to focus on your diet and living a healthy lifestyle overall. Once you start to make healthy diet choices, exercise regularly, and reduce your overall body fat, those abs will be popping in no time! And this workout will definitely help.

For more on my transformation story, head over to WesFitness.com.

Note: I did not personally design this workout. It is a very popular, mainstream routine that I have enjoyed for years and wanted to share because it’s been very effective for me in developing great abs!

Enjoy the workout, have a great day, and make wise choices!

In Episode 32, we’re dishing up my daily routine for optimized health and productivity. I’m going over my full routine that promotes high performance, energy, and mental clarity. These are the exact behaviors I follow every day in order to improve health and achieve goals. While there are some day-to-day fluctuations, many of these habits are constant, non-negotiable aspects of my daily life.

No matter what your goal in life is, I believe the greatest predictor of success is a strong foundation of health and fitness. I was 90lbs overweight, with no direction in my life, addicted to drugs, food, and alcohol. By implementing the habits I’m going to share today, I completely turned my health around, got in the best shape of my life, earned a master’s degree in Finance, have my own fitness website and podcast, am starting a family, and crushing every day with energy I never had before. The habits I incorporate each day fuel me with the power to pursue all my passions instead of holding me back like they were before. I’m able to live each day to its fullest and be the best, most happy version of myself, because of this daily routine.

In the newest edition of This Day in Diet History, we take a look at my 2012 trip to Las Vegas and compare to my recent vacation in Maui, Hawaii. My, how times have changes. Time to start making some wise choices.

About “This Day in Diet History”: For the last 10 years, I have journaled every meal and every workout, and want to bring that history to life by sharing stories from diets past and compare with my lifestyle habits today. The goal here is to provide some nutrition tips, entertainment, and hopefully some motivation for anyone looking to improve their health and fitness. If TDDH can move you one step closer to achieving your fitness goals, then it’s my pleasure to present it to you.

The bottom line is that I used to be extremely unhealthy. I abused junk food, drugs, and alcohol until I ballooned up to 270lbs. Now, I’m in the best shape of my life and want to inspire others by providing a glimpse into my transformation over the years and share the ways I was able to get it done. I’m a guy who has lived on both ends of the health spectrum and want to let everyone know that if I can do it, you can do it too. I’m by no means perfect, but have reached a place where healthy diet and exercise are non-negotiable aspects of my life, and want everyone around me to have that same gift. With that said, let’s get to the show. It’s time to Wise Up.

There’s something I wish someone had told me when I first started working out: Stop doing so much cardio and start lifting heavy weights more consistently. Resistance training is the most effective way to lose body fat, build muscle, and achieve that healthy physique most of us desire. Don’t get me wrong: I love cardio. I lost 90lbs mostly by running my butt off. Eventually, I got into the best shape of my life by doing high intensity cardio at home with bodyweight movements. I used P90X, Insanity, Body Beast, UFC Fit, whatever I could get my hands on. Those kinds of routines are convenient to do at home and far better than doing nothing. But if you want to make the biggest change in the shortest amount of time, resistance training is your best option, especially if you’re not currently lifting weights regularly. If you’re a newbie, you have the added benefit of making significant progress very quickly. You can also burn fat and build muscle at the same time, which is the perfect recipe for achieving the body of your dreams.

Tune in for more!

In the second edition of This Day in Diet History, we look back at my diet during January of 2011 and compare it to today. This period of time was 1 year following my 90-lb weight loss. Although I had made a major change to my health by dropping the weight, my diet was far from perfect, and I had a lot to learn.

We also dive into my current diet today, 2019 resolutions, and look at all the craziness that took place over the holidays. I can say with conviction that I fully enjoyed myself – Not because I’m planning to revert to my old junk food eating self, but to live a little bit while also proving the point that you don’t have to sacrifice all of the things you love in order to get the body you want. We can still treat ourselves from time to time and achieve an optimal level of health. That’s what today’s episode is meant to illuminate.

“The good we do is never lost, it never ends, and it never dies. In other places, in other times, in other people, the good we do lives on forever.” – Matthew Kelly.

In 2019, be the spark that sends a ripple effect to the rest of the world and into the future.

About “This Day in Diet History”: I’ve been journaling my meals and workouts since March of 2009, and want to bring that history to life with This Day in Diet History. This segment will provide some nutrition tips, entertainment, and hopefully some inspiration for anyone looking to improve their health and fitness.

This segment, if nothing else, is meant to provide a visual of where I’ve been and where I am now as someone who has been on both ends of the health spectrum. I was 270lbs with some of the worst lifestyle habits imaginable. Today, I want to be an example of health and fitness and inspire others to transform their lives, as well. I’m by no means perfect, but have reached a place where healthy diet and exercise are non-negotiable aspects of my life, and want everyone around me to have that same gift.

Welcome to episode 4 of Wise Eats. Today, we’re going over 10 weight loss tips I learned from losing 90lbs. We already covered my weight loss story in episode 2, which was a deep dive into my personal story and a brief talk about how I lost the weight. Now, let’s get into the exact strategies I used. If you’re already intermediate or advanced in your fitness, these tips may be obvious to you, but they were not obvious to me when I first changed my lifestyle and finally got in shape. I’m hoping this episode can help someone else who is motivated to lose weight like I was back then. So, let’s get right to it.
