The Stomach Blast Ab Routine! Cheesey name I know These are some exercises I do three times a week to finish off a routine if I have time, to burn off a little extra fat. These exercise in Circuit Training format, one exercise after the other.

STOMACH BLAST:

Shot Gun 10 Reps
Power Tower Kick Out 10 Reps
Swiss Ball Crunches 10 Reps
Two Bench Side Bridge 10 Reps
This is one circuit.
Do 3 Circuits.
60-30 Seconds of rest or no rest between circuits. If you are just starting out I would recommend resting 30 seconds between exercises and
lowering the reps to 5 reps till you build up to 10 reps.

Let me know what you think.

Notes: Last day of my FitnessBuilder review, I decided to go out with a a stomach routine. FitnessBuilder’s Abs & Core, Level 1: Foundation, Workout 2.

FitnessBuilder Week 12.

Notes: It’s the final count down five days left of my FitnessBuilder review! I am picking up where I left off last week with the Dumbbells, Level 3: Comprehensive , Workout 9. One of the things I like about FB is it’s ability to adapt to my needs. The application keeps challenging me with harder workouts.

Dumbbells, Level 3: Comprehensive, Workout 9 :Foot Up Split Squat / Wide Floor Press / Renegade Row / French Press / Cross Body Curl / Hi-Lo Chop / Plank with Arm Raise / Rear Delt Row / Wrist Flexion / Calf Raise

Exercise of the Day: Hi-Lo Chop ab exercise. Simple motion that has great burn, a must try. You can also do this exercise with a medicine ball and cables. The FitnessBuilder Dumbbell series will push, pull and mold you in unexpected ways.

FitnessBuilder Hi-Lo Chop

Summary Dumbbell, Level 3: Comprehensive Workout. You don’t need a full gym to get a good work out in. A set of the Dumbbells and a free standing bench is all you need to get fit.

FitnessBuilder Week 9.

Notes: It time to dedicate some time to getting my abs to come out and say hi. Watching what you eat is a important factor in seeing your abs. Today’s ab routine left me grimacing through reps and enjoying the burn. Check out my exercise of the day and feel the burn for yourself.

Workout Time: 44 min 44 sec

Best Ab Exercises, Workout 2
Windmill / Bench Jack Knife / Lo-Hi Chop / Alternate Leg Lowering /Front Bridge / Turkish Get Up / Core Rotation/ Chair Leg Raise / Lower Body Twist / Negative Crunch

Exercise of the Day: Bench Jack Knife ab exercise. Want to get cut up? The Bench Jack Knife will do it, I felt the burn in the five reps. Great exercise you can do between reps if you’re in a burning calorie mood or short on time. See you next week for more FB reviews.

FitnessBuilder Bench Jack Knife

Notes: Last day of FB Body Building, today’s exercises focused on chest, arms and stomach. Feeling my muscles respond to the exercise combination, it’s a good kinda sore feeling.

Workout Time: 45 mins

Bodybuilding 3-Day , Workout 3
Bench Press/ Dips / Military Press / Lateral Raise / Cable Pushdown / Sit Up | Bodyweight / Negative Crunch

Exercise of the Day: Negative Crunch; ab exercise. The Negative Crunch focuses on the downward motion of the crunch, it is  a great exercise to shock your stomach muscle in a new way.

FitnessBuilder Negative Crunch

Summary of FitnessBuilder 3-Day Bodybuilding routine: I felt that the routine did a really good job of focusing on all the muscle groups and hitting them from different angles. Solid combination’s that will leave you sore and feeling worked out.  Next week more core exercises and FB 10 of the hardest routines.

FitnessBuilder Week 4

Notes: I didn’t do the treadmill run just 30mins on the elliptical instead. Today’s exercise was a sweat builder. Between the clap push up and the shotgun I was done. The clap push ups for me always work my cardio as well as my chest. I can do about 30 straight you can even push it harder with a double clap. Be careful if you miss a clap or the motion you can end up eating floor.

The Dark Knight, Workout 2
Treadmill Run / Squat Jump / Lunge / Clap Push Up / Shotgun

Exercise of the Day: Shotgun Ab exercise. This is one exercise that you will feel through the whole range of motion. It’s important not to short change yourself with this exercise. Focus and complete each motion to get the most out of the shotgun.

FitnessBuilder Shotgun

Notes: Circuit Training! I didn’t realize how brutal it could be, no rest just go, go, go!

Both Routines are circuits

Best Ab Exercises: Bicycle Crunch – Hanging Knee Raise – Crunch Swiss Ball – Hip Raise – Russian Twist – Side Bridge – Jack Knife – Torso Rotation – Kneeling Hi-Lo – V-Up

Dumbbell Circuit Work out 1: Split Squat – Bench Press – Bent Over Row –Overhead Press – Anterior Lateral Step Up – Weighted Crunch – Pullover – Twisting Curl – Kick Backs, Side Bend

Workout Time: 1 hour 10 mins

Exercise of the Day: Russian Twist I marked this exercise as one of my favorites. Fitness Builder allows you to mark any exercise as a favorite so that you can build your own workouts as you see fit later. I like this exercise due to the constant tension you feel on the stomach without using a weight. When the weight is added it gets even harder. Try it and let me know what you think.

FitnessBuilder Russian Twist

Notes: Pushing through the soreness.

Exercise of the Day: Torso Twist down the center burn. I am a fan of core exercises, a strong core means a strong body. The Torso Twist does exactly that working the oblique’s as you turn side to side.

FitnessBuilder Torso Twist Dumbbell

Summary work out Foundation Dumbbells level 1. I had a solid work out. The mix of exercises left me feeling sore but more important not bored. For me the hardest part of working out is the monotony of doing the same stuff over and over.
