Ab Combo

Here’s an exercise our trainers at HiTec SSISA Boot Camp like to throw in at the end of a gruelling session is that of “Ab Combo”.

Just as the sun hits the mountain and you know that it’s almost time to face the real world, we’re instructed to get our mats.

Ab Combo is a killer – and I challenge any readers to do these for a tough abdominal workout.

Lie flat on your back, with your feet on the ground and your knees at a 45degree angle in the air.
Straighten your arms and put your hands on your thighs
Lift your head and shoulders off the ground, until your hands reach your knees (a very small movement)
Return your shoulders and head to the ground
That’s one. Repeat 12 times.

But wait, there’s more.

Moving straight from the little crunches, left your feet up, with your knees bent at 90 degrees (so that your shins are parallel to the floor).
Put your arms on either sides of your legs, and lift your head and shoulders off the floor, reaching for your toes.
Repeat 12 times.

Moving straight into the last combo:

And that, my friends, is the ab combo. Build up to 3 sets and increase the reps to 15 when (or if!) the becomes too easy.
