New Mom 14- Minute Total Abs Workout

14- Minute Total Abs Workout

You do not need much when it comes to good abs workout. Just some room on the floor and you are good to go. Good abs routine is targeting all muscles group in your core, and none of the movement is crunches.

I believe that to get nice, firm abs and strong core you need to combine strength and cardio workout in one. Cardio to get rid of that layer of fat lying on the top of them and your weighted exercises to give you the most of the workout.

Using weights in your routine will target bigger muscle group and will boost your metabolism. Quicker metabolism equals bigger fat burn and weight loss.

The 14- minute abs routine is design for everyone but I created it for new moms getting back into shape. If you are a new mom, try to do this workout from week 6 and further.

If you are used to, the exercises make it more intense by choosing heavier weights and taking advanced options.

Guideline;

• perform each move for 30 seconds
• each static move hold for 30 seconds
• do 3 rounds
• take 30 seconds brakes between sets
• new moms can do it 6 weeks after having a baby, with physician approval
• after c-section you need to wait a little longer
