ABS TRAINING PLAN by Gorilla Gang HANGING LEG RAISES You can do these hanging or on a machine, personally, I use wraps if needed and hang from a chin bar. Starting as you can see hanging at the bottom then, making sure everything is nice and controlled and you are not swinging front and back, raise your legs up straight in front of you to about a 90degree angle. (If you struggle to keep your legs straight then bend at your knees and raise your knees until you have the strength to do so). SETS: 3 REPS: 12-15 SUITCASE WALK For this movement, you should select a weight that provides some challenge but does not compromise your posture. Standing upright with your shoulders down and back and your core engaged, begin slowly walking forward. Ideally, take at least 20 steps forward, or the length of the room you are in. You may need to extend your opposite arm outward to maintain balance. Once you are done with one side, switch hands and repeat the process. Make sure you keep your core engaged throughout the entire time. SETS: 2 STEPS: 20 PLANK KNEE-INS Begin in the top of a pushup position with hands directly beneath your shoulders. Tighten your abs and bring one knee towards your chest, squeeze your abs and move your leg back to the starting position. Switch legs and repeat the movement. To increase the difficulty of this exercise, bring your knee outside of the same arm, making sure you pause for a moment before moving back to the starting position. SETS: 3 REPS: 12-15 (each side) ABS ROLLER This exercise is not one to rush, really focus on the control of this exercise by rolling out slowly whilst maintaining control/ you don’t have to roll out the full distance to really feel the burn on this exercise SETS: 4 REPS: 12 SIDE PLANK HOLD Lay down on your side, then lift up your body supporting yourself with your arm. Keep tightly contracted and really work hard on these. Once you are done with a minute, switch sides and repeat. If you are looking to challenge yourself, start adding some dips to your reps. SETS: 3 1 MIN
