The ONLY 5 Exercises You Need For A Six Pack (Home Workout) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00You want abs, but you don't want to
- 0:01waste hours in the gym doing exercises
- 0:03that don't work.
- 0:05I get it. The truth is building a solid
- 0:07six-pack isn't about doing more. It's
- 0:09about doing better. I've curated the
- 0:12ultimate list of five bodyweight
- 0:13exercises that hit your entire core.
- 0:16Upper, lower, sides,
- 0:18>> [music]
- 0:18>> everything. Do this for 30 days. No
- 0:21excuses. Let's see what you're made of.
- 0:23But here's the catch. You just have to
- 0:25maintain consistency and follow my form
- 0:28exactly. Because if you do these
- 0:29exercises wrong, you're not gaining
- 0:31anything.
- 0:32First up, the plank. The exercise that
- 0:35makes 1 minute feel like an eternity
- 0:37waiting for your crush to text back. Why
- 0:39do we do this? Because it builds
- 0:41stability.
- 0:41>> [music]
- 0:42>> It turns your core into a solid rock.
- 0:44Not that squishy stress ball you're
- 0:46carrying around. Get on your forearms.
- 0:48Keep your back straight. Don't sag your
- 0:50hips like a sad bridge. And don't stick
- 0:52your butt in the air like you're trying
- 0:54to signal aliens. Just hold it. Squeeze
- 0:57your glutes. Squeeze your core. Shake
- 1:00violently. Cry a little. It's all part
- 1:03of the process.
- 1:04Now, how long should you hold it? As
- 1:06long as you possibly can.
- 1:09I know, at first you'll probably
- 1:10collapse after 10 seconds. But trust me,
- 1:13keep at it and soon you'll be holding it
- 1:15for minutes. Just don't stop until your
- 1:18body is shaking like a leaf in a
- 1:19hurricane. That's when the magic
- 1:21happens.
- 1:22Number two, bicycle crunches.
- 1:25No, we are not going for a leisurely
- 1:27ride through the park. We are going to
- 1:29oblique city. Population, pain. This
- 1:32move targets the sides of your abs. You
- 1:34know, the parts that muffin top over
- 1:36your jeans.
- 1:38Yeah, those.
- 1:39Lie on your back. Hands behind your
- 1:41head. Bring your opposite elbow to your
- 1:43opposite knee. Extend the other leg out.
- 1:46And slow down. I see you flailing around
- 1:49like a beetle stuck on its back. Control
- 1:52the movement. Twist your torso. Feel the
- 1:54squeeze.
- 1:56Don't worry about counting reps. Just
- 1:57keep going until failure. That means you
- 2:00don't stop when it starts to burn. You
- 2:02stop when you physically can't do
- 2:03another rep with good form.
- 2:05Push until your abs refuse to listen to
- 2:07your brain.
- 2:09If you're not twisting, you're just
- 2:10wiggling.
- 2:11Stop wiggling.
- 2:13Next, we have leg raises. Because
- 2:15apparently, just lying down wasn't hard
- 2:17enough. Now we have to fight gravity
- 2:19with our legs. This one targets the
- 2:21lower abs. The hardest place to lose fat
- 2:24and the easiest place to store pizza.
- 2:26Hands by your side or under your butt if
- 2:28your lower back is screaming at you.
- 2:30Lift your legs straight up to the
- 2:32ceiling, then lower them slowly. Slowly.
- 2:35Don't let your heels touch the floor.
- 2:37That's cheating. The floor is lava. The
- 2:40floor is failure. Keep them hovering.
- 2:43Forget counting to 15. Do as many as you
- 2:45can. Keep going until your legs feel
- 2:48like they weigh a ton and you physically
- 2:50can't lift them one more time.
- 2:52>> [music]
- 2:52>> If you're not making a face like you're
- 2:53trying to pass a kidney stone, you're
- 2:55not working hard enough.
- 2:57Exercise number four, mountain climbers.
- 2:59[music]
- 3:00It's like running, but horizontal and
- 3:02significantly more annoying. This is a
- 3:04dynamic move.
- 3:05>> [music]
- 3:05>> It hits your core and gets your heart
- 3:07rate up so you can pretend you did
- 3:08cardio today.
- 3:09Get into a plank position. Drive your
- 3:11knees into your chest one by one. Keep
- 3:14your hips down. You are a mountain
- 3:16climber, not a twerking instructor. Now
- 3:18go fast. And don't look at the clock.
- 3:21You stop when your legs turn to jelly
- 3:23and you physically collapse on the
- 3:25floor. Imagine you're running away from
- 3:27your responsibilities. Or a bear. If you
- 3:30slow down, the bear eats you. So run
- 3:32until you can't anymore.
- 3:34And finally, the bird dog. Named after
- 3:37two animals that have absolutely nothing
- 3:39in common with this movement. This isn't
- 3:41about burning fat. It's about control.
- 3:44It's about teaching your body not to
- 3:45fall over when you lift a limb. Get on
- 3:48all fours. Extend your right arm forward
- 3:50and your left leg back. Make a straight
- 3:52line. Hold it. Feel the balance. Now
- 3:55switch. Keep your core tight. Don't arch
- 3:58your back like a scared cat. And forget
- 4:00about counting 10 reps. Keep alternating
- 4:03sides until your core gives up and you
- 4:05start wobbling like a jelly on a washing
- 4:06machine.
- 4:07Once your form breaks, you're done. It
- 4:10looks easy, but do it right and you'll
- 4:12realize how unstable your life really
- 4:14is. And there you have it. The top five
- 4:17exercises to get abs at home without
- 4:18buying useless gadgets from TV
- 4:20commercials. But let's get real for a
- 4:22second. You can crunch until the cows
- 4:24come home, but if you're eating pizza
- 4:26for breakfast and fat all day, you'll
- 4:28never see those abs.
- 4:30Fix your lifestyle. Sleep at least 8
- 4:32hours. If this was your first proper
- 4:34workout, trust me. You're going to sleep
- 4:37like a baby tonight anyway. Do this
- 4:39routine consistently, eat clean, and
- 4:41rest well. Otherwise, it's just your
- 4:43loss, boss. Like, subscribe, and hit
- 4:46that bell.
- 4:47Now go drink some water. You look
- 4:49dehydrated. The Core Man out.
