Have abs year round –

Are you ready for an ab workout challenge that is suitable for everyone from beginner to advanced? In this video, I’m going to show you a single ab workout routine that you can do for the next 22 days straight that is going to help to carve up that midsection of yours and give you a jump start on getting your abs to pop year round. There are just 6 exercises in this ab workout, each one hitting the abs from one of their primary functions.

No equipment is required to perform this ab workout routine. Because of this fact, there are no excuses either. You will be able to do this workout for your abs in just minutes and you won’t need any elaborate setup to get it done. It can be done in the comfort of your own home or in the gym if you so choose.

The key to this ab workout plan is that you perform it for 22 days straight. There are two reasons for this time period. First, it gives you an opportunity to start seeing noticeable changes in your abs particularly if you pair this with a dedicated effort to improve your nutrition. You will never be able to see your abs if they are covered in fat. You need to start getting serious about your diet and eating if you want to strip away the fat and show the results of your hard work and effort.

The second reason for doing this for 22 days is to help this become part of your lifestyle. They say it takes 22 days of doing something for it to become a habit. We are going to try and create a positive habit here by getting you used to training your abs. Don’t worry. The abs are a resilient postural muscle group that is built for high volume and frequent training sessions.

The exercises in this ab workout follow a specific sequence. They start with those that target the lower abs using bottom up movements. These are where the top of the body from the waist up stays rather stationary while the bottom does the movement. This can be seen in the heels to the heavens exercise.

Next you perform a bottom up rotation movement. This one is going to be filled by the step through planks. Here you want to try and keep your upper torso still again while you create rotation from the bottom using your legs to step through and across your body. You will be able to feel this burn almost from the first few reps. Keep going until you reach the extinction time as described in the video.

Move on next to the midrange movement known as the “X” man crunch. This is a great way to bring both the top to the bottom and the bottom to the top. Aim for completing the 12 reps that are suggested for extinction on this ab exercise and move onto the final three exercises. These will hit the obliques, top down movements and top down with rotation.

You will see that this is not going to take very long. The benefit and power of this ab workout is that it is hitting the abs and obliques from every angle and in each of the 6 primary ways of hitting them. If you find that this is just a little too tough for you as a beginner you can always check out my alternative workout that is more suitable for beginners here –

For a complete workout plan that programs ab training each time you train in a way that will get you your six pack faster than any other program, be sure to head to and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System. Start training like an athlete and see first hand how much faster you can start seeing results by training your body the way it was meant to be trained all along.

      I started this challenge 2 years ago and I got abs almost immediately after 22 days of doing this. Still have abs today, thanks Jeff!

        @VIHAAN Hi I couldn’t help but notice this😂 I myself am almost 6’3. And I maintain around 205 lbs around 12 percent body fat and I maintain a lean core as well as not over the top abs but visible enough to deny uncertainty that I in fact don’t follow a specific diet to achieve my maintenance, I eat a-lot of everything. My point is more times than not genetics have more to do with the core than most realize. Props to ward.

      • PIANOMOBI

      I practiced it for 22 days without Skipping any day .. my experience is that my core strength increased a lot .. able to reach new level to my discipline towards fitness … Got into a little shape but no major difference in visibility of abs .. but i would definitely recommend others to practice this as it can bring

    • Chris Mungovan

      I’m on day 7 of this and already noticing a difference. Have some definition at the top and sides. It is hard and my abs hurt, not terribly but slightly and if I sneeze I know I’ve been working my abs. Been regularly working out for the past 4 months doing 3 days of weight training and 3 of cardio usually running and been trying to find a good ab workout that feels like it’s working and this definitely feels like it’s working.

      • Chris Mungovan

        @sanoop s I finished the 22 days then because of various reasons stopped working out for a while but I’ve just completed another 22 days. Noticeable difference going to keep it going beyond the 22 days for bigger gains

      • Chris Mungovan

        @khiojahn beckford I know that’s why I said it’s working

      • Adriana

    • Simon Thompson

      This is a good challenging workout. After 5 days in I am feeling stronger with most of the exercises. The nasty one is the alternating jackknifes, I’ve managed to complete thread the needles which was really satisfying. Thank you. Remember people don’t freak out about completing each phase adapt it or move the key is frequency for your progression.

      • Diesel15_

        How many times do You repeat?

    • Levi Kleinow

      Thank you for your videos sir, they are helping me re-cover from a fall down stairs which my body became out of line. Feeling better than ever thank you. You explain things easily for everyone.thank you

    • KLaRowe

      Alright I’m doing this and by the end of the month I will have somewhat of abs!!
      Day 1: ✔️
      Day 2: ✔️
      Day 3: ✔️
      Day 4: ✔️
      Day 5: ✔️
      Day 6: ✔️
      Day 7: ✔️
      So since I’ve done it for a week I thought I’d share my thoughts. I haven’t been really sore but have progressively gotten more tired each day 😬. Hopefully I improve on these exercises but for now I‘m feeling good about being more active!
      Day 8: ✔️
      Day 9: ✔️
      Day 10: ✔️
      Day 11: ✔️ Halfwayyyyy
      Day 12: ✔️
      Day 13: ✔️
      Day 14: ✔️
      So for the second week, I can see that a lot of my stomach fat has gone away and I’ve been making some progress on the workouts.
      Day 15: ✔️
      Day 16: ✔️
      Day 17: ✔️
      Day 18: ✔️
      Day 19: ✔️
      Day 20: ✔️
      Day 21: ✔️
      Day 22: ✔️
      Ahhh I’m done!!
      Before doing this workout, I was pretty bloated but still skinny. I lost an inch around my stomach and it’s definitely more toned too. I would recommend this to beginners as it is more friendly than other challenges. It’s also helped me mentally in the way that now I feel odd and lazy if I don’t do a daily workout which is always a good mentality to have! I’m really proud of myself that I did this and I’m doing the Chloe Ting one next so wish me luck! 😂
