  • All you will need for this abdominal muscle targeting workout is your mat and a pair of lighter dumbbells. The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 8kg each!
    The timer will be on for 40 seconds of work per exercise with 5 seconds rest in between!
    ALTERNATING DEADBUG
    SINGLE SIDE DEADBUG

    TOE REACH TO LEG LOWER
    OPP HAND TO FOOT CRUNCH (one side)
    SWITCH SIDE!
    ALTERNATING HAND TO FOOT REACH
    TUCK TO HOLLOW

    CRUNCH PULSES!
    HEEL REACHES
    BICYCLES
    STRAIGHT LEG BICYCLES
    RUSSIAN TWIST (BODYWEIGHT)

    STRAIGHT ARM PLANK HOVER (ONE SIDE)

    PLANK SIDE KNEE TUCK (ONE SIDE)
    SWITCH SIDE!
    SAW!
    So many exercises that I challenge you to perform as controlled as possible and at a pace that allows you to really focus!
    The Deadbug is one of my favourites as you can probably tell by now if you have been training with me for awhile! The erector spinae, deeper transverse abdominis and the pelvic floor all are involved and is a fantastic exercise to train yourself to ‘brace’! Think if you were to be hit with impact in the stomach… you would brace! Think about bracing before every movement.
    Also, something I think about that is so simple…. If I lie on my back flat and relax I can place my hand under the natural curvature of the lower back. I don’t want this to happen during any exercise involving resistance training whether it is weights or bodyweight. Brace for impact… and think about flattening that lower back into the mat!
    I hope you enjoy this longer ab workout as much as I did!! I definitely felt realigned after!

    Girl I’m 34, I stop working out regularly at 24 when my mom died. We worked out together every day, so it was heartbreaking and depressing going to the gym without her, she loved lifting weights and passed that to me😁I would start working out again with work out programs at home, but nothing motivated me and encouraged me to keep going. Then I found u, not only are your workouts great, but u make me want to keep going! 🥲 thank you so much! 🥰😁 much love!

    So excited to give this one a go! I’ve been with Caroline just shy of a year now. If you’d told me a year ago that one day I would have abs, and that I could survive 20 continuous minutes of ab work, I never would have believed it. This advent calendar is such an awesome Christmas present, but Caroline gives us the gifts of encouragement and empowerment all year long. Happy Day 2 Girvanators, let’s rock this! P.S. Who else is loving the holiday colour scheme of these workouts🎁🎄?

    For abs & core, I love classes with dumbbells best of all so I really enjoyed this upload today. I flipped things around and did the Christmas cardio first. I remember doing that last year and really enjoying it. So much upbeat Christmas music in it that I had not heard before so I found myself dancing out a few moves here and there! Caroline knows how to do a really entertaining and varied cardio class where we move in all directions…lots of yoga type moves, plyo, core, and other fun stuff. Til tomorrow!

    You are my saviour. I was in the middle of epic III and after work, just returning to my car I had an ankle sprain a few days ago. I am trying to keep working out just in the floor avoiding weight bearing on the foot. I feel dissapointed because I was progressing a lot. Now I know it will take some weeks to begin the track as I was before but I feel gratitude because somehow You give us a lot of alternatives that I try to adapt to my new situation
