Spring is upon us. As the weather starts to warm up there are plans for trips, beaches. Vacations. Family reunions and everything of the sort. During the last few weeks i decided to make my workouts more challenging with more callestenics to help start the new season on a good foot. My most recent was a challenging ab day workout that i thought would be fun to share. I jokingly called this the dropset of doom core edition.

To start after a nice warm up for 5 to 10 minutes you will do the following (this is a general guideline of decreasing the reps but increasing negative reps):

200  crutches
100 lying leg raises (1 second negative)
50 side plank raises
25 bicycle crunches
13 inverted situps (2 second negative)
7 hanging leg raises (3 second negatives)
3 alternating hanging single knee raises to double knee raise with a leg raise (4 second negative)
1 alternating handing single knee raise to double knee rise with a leg raise and windshield wiper (5 second negative)
60 second plank

This can be customized to fit your difficulty level but i found i was able to do this in a 30ish minute time frame. Here’s to a great start to spring and kicking fitness goals off on a good foot! Until the next time dear readers. Excelsior!
