2 Ab Exercises That Work

I can still see her glaring at me as I called out two exercises that I know most of my clients loved to hate.

Stephanie always worked her butt off in every workout.

She did everything I asked her to do… but always made sure I knew how she felt about it.

Every so often we would do some abdominal / core exercises that worked so extremely well that Stephanie lost two pant sizes.

Every time we did these exercises, Stephanie would be on her hands and knees, staring at the ground with sweat pouring off her nose.

I loved coming over to her and asking how she was doing.

She never fully looked up at me…

She would give a slight little nod and a near inaudible… “I hate these”

At least that’s what she said while she was doing them.

What she told me one day after shopping for new jeans was completely different.

She burst into the gym, jumping up and down showing off the jeans she had just purchased.

After calming down a little she told me we could do Anterior Reaches and T-Push-ups anytime we wanted to.

 

The Exercises

Anterior Reaches and T-Push-ups are extremely effective at strengthening your core and flattening your stomach.

Lets get straight to the exercises so you can start doing them.

 

what I’m showing in this video is a more advanced way of doing this exercise.

Your goal is to keep your hips square to the ground. Then slide one arm as far forward as you can without moving your hips. Once they start moving… it’s time to bring that arm back underneath you and reach the next arm forward.

Equipment needed

There are a couple of things you can use to do this exercise.

1. a paper plate
2. A furniture mover from Home Depot
3. Valslide (Seen in video)

To make this exercise easier… you can do it on your knees.

To make more challenging pick up a heavier weight… but to be honest 5 to 10 pounds is extremely challenging.

Go give them a try and let me know what you think
