Found Jeff’s videos sometime back and then drifted around on RUclips as it offered different approaches from different Instructors. When I re-discovered Jeff’s workouts it struck me how simple to follow and clear the information is - and most importantly he cuts through so much noise but offering us the the most EFFICIENT ways to hit goals. And that’s gold when there’s just so much information out there, with variations on variations. Jeff’s workouts gets me back to basics but in a really cool and inspiring way. 🙏
Hello Jeff, First and foremost I am writing to say thank you. I'm a 72-year-old man retired and living in Thailand. As my only income is social security I can't afford to subscribe to many websites. The videos that you offer on RUclips are phenomenal and I totally appreciate the fact that they are free. In two years I've gone from 208 lb to 175. I totally agree with you that weight loss is through diet. I use a program and have for a few years called MyFitnessPal where I track my calories my protein and other nutrients. I work out three, sometimes four times a week. I was in the martial arts since junior high school so my workout consists of 12 to 15 minutes of speedball and heavy bag and the rest of the hour is spent on strength training. In the last year I've switched to bands as the bench press really started hurting my shoulder and since I'm so intensive on punching exercises for cardio I couldn't risk having constant shoulder injuries. When I want to train a certain part of my body with a band the first place I go is to look for one of your videos on the subject. So again I sincerely wish to thank you for all that you have done and are doing. My only small request is that many times I have heard you refer to older folks as people over 50. Hey, I'm 72 and I'm not old hahaha. So maybe sometime you could give a shout out to us later middle-aged folks over 70! Thank you. Lee Craker
Being a former hs wrestling coach, I spent a lot of time on weight training and cardio as part of our overall strength and conditioning program. I now see that using bands might have been more efficient and practical. I truly enjoy and appreciate Jeff's approach and techniques. I'm now 68 and use bands 4 or 5 days a weeks in various routines. Thanks.

One of the very few RUclipsr`s who knows what he`s doing... So many out there that are even showing exercises which are not safe. I LOVE Jeff`s approach to showing the injury free versions of the exercises. At the end of the day most of us are not professionals and staying healthy and injury free is paramount.
No exercise is safe if you are a moron and there aren't really any "unsafe" exercises. Also Jeff is one of the biggest moron's in the fitness industry and generally has no clue what he is talking about.
youtube now has many professionals and subject matter experts giving professional level advice away, but Jeff was the first I can think of. Thank you for everything Jeff. The world is a fitter place because of your gift.
I am 80 & I have lost 40 pounds & want to get a 6 pack at least. I would like to do a video with you so we can get more seniors in shape & better health. Could save $billions for Medicare. 😂😊
Jeff never ceases to amaze me with his knowledge and no bs approach! I am definitely gonna incorporate these 2 ab exercises in my routine but too bad I don’t see a way to include it as extra in my AthleanX burn fat routine which I’m currently doing.
Im a 32 year old male, ive watched your videos quite a bit and youre easily one of the people on youtube i come to educate myself on my physical health! 🥰
Great job you look good and healthy, also saw one of your meal prep videos, I recommend you guys to watch it 👍🏼 nothing less stressfull then just grabbing your meal before you go to work. It is so worth it. I cook in the evening and prep 4 portions of food, 2 for work and 2 to have in the evening at home. I prepare the sallad and whatever protein I cook I keep it seperate in foil paper. Just grab and go. I always use real olive oil and lemon to my sallads and I use diffrent veggies each time when I prep, to keep it interesting and to use diffrent flavours and texture that way it doesn't get boring. My body loves it and I can see it on my belly and waist, I also feel it. I feel more light, clean and energized.
I absolutely love this channel. It’s always my go to when I have any fitness questions. I legitimately cannot thank Mr. Cavaliere enough for the amount of help he has given me with fitness and injury fixes🙏
Excellent Jeff! I've been following your channel for quite a while now. I'm 70 yrs old. My background, ex athlete (long & triple jumper) & martial artist. I was a ranked athlete in my younger days but haven't really done much for 26 yrs. Your channel has inspired me to start working out again. I start at the end of January with just some basic work, walking, then running & then combined some different types of exercises. After see your ab workout 22 days to a 6 pack, I started to work more closely on my abs & more importantly my food plan to achieve a stonger & better developed ab section. I'm happy to say, at 70 yrs old, I have achieve a 6 pack. It is still work in progress, body fat is down in the teens & muscular growth has improve. As well as improving my abs further in the future, I'm currently working on improving my leg strength (stage 2) stage 3 will be upper body, although, I have included a few exercises on the roman rings for ab work that also work the upper body. I will keep you posted on my transformation & thank for the inspiration & the use of your knowledge that you have so generously shared it has been invaluable. Thank you, Jeff 😊
@billym4144 It's just a mind set & when you get it running, it just becomes a way of life, like getting up in the morning. My goal this year is to compete in the national masters championships & finish in first place. So start today & set your goals that's what it's all about. Cheers
I really like the beginner versions of the exercises in this vid. Right now I’m doing dead bugs and the Pallof press and that’s all I can handle. I’m in terrible shape and have degenerative disk issues, but I think I could rotate in these at the basic level. I'd really like to work up to that Power Over. Thanks Jeff!
@@alexspurlock3727 lololol luckily my core has been strong through 2 pregnancies and I never had bad ab separation I'm only 5 months postpartum and super lazy. I'm starting calisthenics training soon and will just automatically get a shredded core from all of that
You are my favorite fitness channel. The way you explain things right to the point with accurate honest info that matches other fitness channels I watch. Plus I’ll listen to someone with that physique all day. Thanks for the content
There are really only five exercises needed and they require little to no equipment and all can be progressed. With either weights reps or intensity. 1. Running 2. One leg triangle push ups 3. Corkscrews 4. Pull ups. 5. Box Jumps.
Love your AB exercises. I started last year and as I changed my nutrition, I see the result. I did all my AB workouts with the help of your videos from scratch. Thank you for that!
I've watched a ton of your videos, and I think they're great. I especially enjoy the muscle markers and your explanation of how the muscles work together. My question though is, while I understand that having nice looking abs is a valuable goal, what physical benefit does someone get by building up their abs? What are the day to day, real world benefits? I want the nice physique but that alone isn't enough to motivate me to keep at it. I'm married, my wife is happy with my body, and I'm not planning to enter any body building contests. So why would I want to do these exercises?
Thanks for the great content! Some Questions: 1. How many reps / sets? 2. How many secs of rest in between? 3. Alternative to cable crunches with home equipment?
Depends on your goals, obviously. If you want to build muscle, research shows that 6-35 reps per set is best, and you should do 10-20 sets per week. Rest doesn't really matter for muscle growth, but if you want to improve strength, rest long enough to recover - 1-3 minutes, I think. For the third question, I don't know of an alternative, but power overs are a great exercise anyway unless you're an advanced athlete (can you do more than 35 clean reps in one set? Probably not, it's really hard)
Hey Jeff, big fan of the videos! My issue is I really struggle to not engage my hip flexors when trying bottom up exercises. I have a clicky right hip so tend to just avoid them Any advice on how I could best isolate my lower abs?
@@eastnewyorkpostalservice1849No. The only thing that will slim it down is just losing fat. More muscle will push the gut out and make you look even more fat.
I am going to be doing these two exercises and return to this comment and tell you guys the results. I will be using this comment as a constant reminder and motivation to continue doing these exercises. I am back: Ima say this only: They burn and hurt, but they sure get the job done, definitely recommend.
Jeff: Thanks for the great video. I like how you add the science behind the movements/exercises, demonstrating the right, and the wrong movements to make. At age 60, I turn to your videos most often to get the best instruction. Thanks again!
See now you'll find that RUclips is filled with people trying to teach similar things but nobody comes close to this guy and that's purely because he has the actual knowledge that works behind bodybuilding I mean have you seen those degrees he has that pop up at the starting of every video. Big applause and immense respect for this guy.
Would this help me to loose loose skin? I was about 300+ pounds I lost over 100 in 7 months. I’m looking great but I just have so much loose skin on my belly and no wear else I don’t want surgery.
Back in the 80's, the Stanford Physiology dept. did a study on ab exercise. Their results totally support what you are saying in this video. The first exercise they called the High Flying Leg Lift. Great channel. Thanks.
AMAZING ---u actually displayed what u said u would show !!! Who does that?? usually you get a sales pitch tease and NEVER get what u thought in a video.. Thanks , u got another subscriber..
Hey Jeff thanks for all the time you spend informing us how to get ripped and stay healthy. #1 Channel on youtube. Question: are 4 hour work out sessions on different body parts to much??? Jw wasnt seeing gains anymore so I started going xtra hard in the sessions. I never get hurt but I do feel the pain again, is this ok or what should I do for better gains in your opinion? Jw. thank you again
ab induction, (pull your belly button to your spine and hold) I know you shyttin around, but I know a person literally in that situation with a 6 pack.
Thank you for showing how to do the top down cable exercise. So many people do it and I can tell they're doing it wrong. But I wanted to know how to do it right. Thank you for explaining that so thoroughly.
@@eggzkaratejl5124yes, and how much body fat do you think they have compared to muscle mass? And how much muscle is pulling the skin? Exactly keep being in the couch.
@ducoh2093 @@joetonelli2919yes but the title of the video says "the only 2 exercises you need" which implies no variance. It's not a big deal, but that's what the OP was referring to.
I mean, yeah, he shows different exercises depending on your current strength level. You pick one of the exercises for upper abs, and one for the lower abs. When the lying down top screw gets too easy, you progress to pullup bar corkscrews. It's not rocket science...
you need to get more extension for the best / fastest muscle growth. So like a bench you lay your back on and let your legs go below your body. Same with the upper body exercise.
*Hello* 🥰 I started doing ab crunch from last week, I lie on the floor and lift my head (keeping my knees bent on the ground), and I was feeling tension in the upper abs 😕😕 *Soon I realised that this is not working for lower abs* 🤣🤣🤣 from tomorrow I will start lifting my legs 😂 he described 2 excercises on white board,,, and I am a beginner, happy with that
Recently, I've been doing workouts at home (stay-at-home) on the total gym which I am fairly pleased with my progress. The one thing I get jammed up on is rotating core exercises. You can only do so many wood choppers, russian twists or reverse ab crunches (total gym) till you're blue in the face. Trying these two out on the next segment.
Good intro, but altogether there are at least 4+4 exercises. What I miss exercise counterbalancing this abdominal training, which by the law rule of bodybuilders, one is not recomended to train counteracting groups of muscles on the sam e day. So, probably those missing will be done done on the next day. Paul, 68, retired instructor of Karate
Jeff, can you or anyone here please please please recommend any warm up and stretch exercises for abs as I'm always cautious to do these exercises as I usually get a cramp! I know I'm missing something! HELP! Thanks guys. Peace✌️
Im gettin into my 40's im stiff and tired from work and ive put on some weight the last few years but im gettin back into diet and exercise thanks for easy explinations and good workout references 👍
Jeff, I think you are probably the best person on RUclips teaching exercises with that said for someone like myself who suffered an inguinal hernia surgery 5 years ago is it normal to feel discomfort still when doing this exercise? I ask because in the past videos you mentioned you experience the same is this normal or something I have to get used to.?
Thank you 🙏 Jeff for these abs exercise ! I’ve been trying to work on getting abs.! I’m getting lean! But no abs yeti my weight right now is around 180! I needed this extra help! I lift everyday.
Thank you for this video. I started working out a couple of years ago, and I've asked trainers what exercises works which ab muscles, because just my top four were coming in. No one has given me this advice..
Here’s one exercise that works…twisting crunches on the floor with hands across the chest. Right elbow to the left hip. Left elbow to the right hip. Use the abs to drive the lower back into the floor and raise the hips and shoulder blades off the floor. Exhale on the exertion and pause for a moment to work on getting a cramp in the abs.
Thoughts on doing the cable crunch while sitting or standing? My home machine doesn’t have enough clearance between the quad extension (lower part doesn’t detach) and wear my knees would be planted. I appreciate any advice, I have the SincMill all in one home gym now, since PF went off the deep end. I have dumbbells and kettlebells. I’ve been able to modify everything to get an amazing workout- maybe even better than the gym! Unfortunately, I really miss the ab machines and I am thinking of installing a pull up bar for back and abs too. But in the meantime👀

Some Questions:
1. How many reps / sets?
2. How many secs of rest in between?
3. Alternative to cable crunches with home equipment?
Depends on your goals, obviously. If you want to build muscle, research shows that 6-35 reps per set is best, and you should do 10-20 sets per week. Rest doesn't really matter for muscle growth, but if you want to improve strength, rest long enough to recover - 1-3 minutes, I think. For the third question, I don't know of an alternative, but power overs are a great exercise anyway unless you're an advanced athlete (can you do more than 35 clean reps in one set? Probably not, it's really hard)

Hey Jeff thanks for all the time you spend informing us how to get ripped and stay healthy. #1 Channel on youtube.
Question: are 4 hour work out sessions on different body parts to much??? Jw wasnt seeing gains anymore so I started going xtra hard in the sessions. I never get hurt but I do feel the pain again, is this ok or what should I do for better gains in your opinion? Jw. thank you again
What if you were a wheelchair veteran and cannot lie on your back and lift your legs or your upper torso?
ab induction, (pull your belly button to your spine and hold) I know you shyttin around, but I know a person literally in that situation with a 6 pack.
Then you draw them on with a muscle marker
You know these works when you see jeff face becomes a tomato.
Well...that's OK, as a tomato is a fruit; that's much better than becoming a vegetable! js
So, of all those exercises, which were the only two I need?
There's really only 2, and he provided 2 variations of each depending on your level.
😂😂
I don't know what it is about this channel, but it gets me so motivated.
Thank you for showing how to do the top down cable exercise. So many people do it and I can tell they're doing it wrong. But I wanted to know how to do it right. Thank you for explaining that so thoroughly.
Im watching this while eating skittles
How about pizza🍕 .
I'm eating ice cream,and a lot of it,but at 65,might not have six pack,but pretty dam close
Lol
The only way to get a 6 pack is to be sub 10% body fat… it doesn’t matter if you train abs or not, you’ll never see them if you’re not lean enough!
Yeah you can. Body builders that are massive have visible abs because they train them
While this is true, ab exercise does help them become more defined at 10% and even visible at higher body fat percentages
@@eggzkaratejl5124yes, and how much body fat do you think they have compared to muscle mass? And how much muscle is pulling the skin? Exactly keep being in the couch.
What about Eddie hall
My abs are clearly visible, and I stay between 13-15%. They still show higher than that.
"Only 2": Proceeds to teach 6
I understand the confusion, I was thinking the same thing. Two workout (top and bottom) but 3 levels each.
Yes, just get to the freakin point.
Click bait
He is also covering oblique muscles which are not part of abs
He’s showing 3 different difficulty levels for similar workouts dummy. Your comprehension skills can’t be that low, right?
Im just a 15 Yo boy that wants abs, and already has them lightly defined. How many days a week do i do these exercises, and how many reps?
Always provides the best information and helps me to perform my exercises correctly. So glad I found Athlean-X!
you look like obama with hair
Is it me or are there more than 2 exercises? 🤔
yes but what he is saying that you only need to pick 2 of them, depending on your level. The stronger you get the more advanced you can go
Called variations for skill levels
@ducoh2093 @@joetonelli2919yes but the title of the video says "the only 2 exercises you need" which implies no variance. It's not a big deal, but that's what the OP was referring to.
2...proceeds to show like 6 exercises
I mean, yeah, he shows different exercises depending on your current strength level. You pick one of the exercises for upper abs, and one for the lower abs. When the lying down top screw gets too easy, you progress to pullup bar corkscrews. It's not rocket science...
Helpful, informative, and effective as always! God bless and good luck Jeff! 🙏❤
This is a very helpful video. As a beginner I just want to know how many reps or how many minutes should I be doing for each of the exercises?
Jesus Loves you all very much!!!! God Bless everyone!!!!

Coincidence? I think NOT!
you need to get more extension for the best / fastest muscle growth. So like a bench you lay your back on and let your legs go below your body. Same with the upper body exercise.
Great advice and I like how you showed all different levels from beginner to advanced.
Excellent clear explanation. First half of the video is perfect for beginners like me. Thank you!
*Hello* 🥰
I started doing ab crunch from last week, I lie on the floor and lift my head (keeping my knees bent on the ground), and I was feeling tension in the upper abs 😕😕 *Soon I realised that this is not working for lower abs* 🤣🤣🤣 from tomorrow I will start lifting my legs 😂 he described 2 excercises on white board,,, and I am a beginner, happy with that
EXCELLENT!! Like the 2 exercises; beginner, intermed and advanced AND how not to do them! Got similar 2 exercise for the delts?
Recently, I've been doing workouts at home (stay-at-home) on the total gym which I am fairly pleased with my progress. The one thing I get jammed up on is rotating core exercises. You can only do so many wood choppers, russian twists or reverse ab crunches (total gym) till you're blue in the face. Trying these two out on the next segment.
Hola Jeff, Thanks for all the excellent instruction and motivation you provide.
This gentleman is way out of my world in exercising. Color me subscribed!
I dare say you give some of the best exercise direction on RUclips. Cheers may you become infinitely successful as you help so many. Dr. Ginge
Good intro, but altogether there are at least 4+4 exercises. What I miss exercise counterbalancing this abdominal training, which by the law rule of bodybuilders, one is not recomended to train counteracting groups of muscles on the sam e day. So, probably those missing will be done done on the next day. Paul, 68, retired instructor of Karate
Why not
Jeff, can you or anyone here please please please recommend any warm up and stretch exercises for abs as I'm always cautious to do these exercises as I usually get a cramp! I know I'm missing something! HELP! Thanks guys. Peace✌️
Love you Jeff, you are my inspiration for my now 2 year (6 month slip up) fitness journey!
Leg raises & cable crunches did it for me. I could always change the angle, or put a small dumbell between my feet, but those two do it for me.
Im gettin into my 40's im stiff and tired from work and ive put on some weight the last few years but im gettin back into diet and exercise thanks for easy explinations and good workout references 👍
this is great. would love to see more of these for other areas (like glutes, shoulders, etc)
such badass straight-to-the-point fitness advice with this channel
Yep good stuff. Did these exercises in the military before. You will see results. And it actually helps the lower back too. Thanks buddy 👍✌️💯
This is the best channel for fitness.
Jeff, I think you are probably the best person on RUclips teaching exercises with that said for someone like myself who suffered an inguinal hernia surgery 5 years ago is it normal to feel discomfort still when doing this exercise? I ask because in the past videos you mentioned you experience the same is this normal or something I have to get used to.?
I have a lower back issue curved spine, I struggle with abs sets due to this, these look great I am definitely trying thes this week - thanks
Thank you 🙏 Jeff for these abs exercise ! I’ve been trying to work on getting abs.! I’m getting lean! But no abs yeti my weight right now is around 180! I needed this extra help! I lift everyday.
I love your explanation
Any exercises for diastisis recti pls
I never leave comments, but this video is perfection.. very helpful
Thank you for this video. I started working out a couple of years ago, and I've asked trainers what exercises works which ab muscles, because just my top four were coming in. No one has given me this advice..
That’s because most of them are just gym workers who call themselves ‘personal trainers’…..
Here’s one exercise that works…twisting crunches on the floor with hands across the chest. Right elbow to the left hip. Left elbow to the right hip. Use the abs to drive the lower back into the floor and raise the hips and shoulder blades off the floor. Exhale on the exertion and pause for a moment to work on getting a cramp in the abs.
I like how Jeff break it down and the science behind the workout 🏋️♀️
Thoughts on doing the cable crunch while sitting or standing? My home machine doesn’t have enough clearance between the quad extension (lower part doesn’t detach) and wear my knees would be planted.
I appreciate any advice, I have the SincMill all in one home gym now, since PF went off the deep end. I have dumbbells and kettlebells.
I’ve been able to modify everything to get an amazing workout- maybe even better than the gym! Unfortunately, I really miss the ab machines and I am thinking of installing a pull up bar for back and abs too. But in the meantime👀
