Diet. So before you try this workout, if you\u2019re not sure <a href=\"https:\/\/vshred.com\/blog\/healthy-eating-mistakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">what you should be eating<\/a> in order to really chisel your abs, take my free body type quiz to learn the 3 most important things to do to see results.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vshred.com\/sp\/survey\/survey-aka1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s1\">Click Here To Take The Free Body Type Quiz!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Once your <a href=\"https:\/\/vshred.com\/blog\/healthy-eating-mistakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dietary concerns<\/a> are out of the way, it\u2019s time to train those abs! Abs are just like any other muscle group, but smaller than most. That means you need to train them and let them recover just like any other muscle. So we recommend doing this weighted ab workout no more than every other day making sure to allow your abdominal muscles to recover completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">All you will need for this workout is a single dumbbell. You may pick the weight of your choice or use no weight at all (this depends on your physical capability) and do as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Workout<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are four total exercises and for each exercise, you will do 4 sets of 10-15 reps with only 20 seconds of rest in-between. If you cannot handle this layout, you may extend your rest period slightly or break the sets into \u201cmini sets\u201d but make sure to complete the same total number of reps.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"s1\">Dumbbell Straight-Arm Crunches<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/3ksxlaN8sLsKFMri0P\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/media.giphy.com\/media\/3ksxlaN8sLsKFMri0P\/giphy.gif?resize=480%2C270&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Animated GIF - Find &amp; Share on GIPHY\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In this abs routine, you\u2019re going to lay flat on your back with your knees bent. Hold the dumbbell out straight above you and continue to push the dumbbell straight towards the ceiling as you crunch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">4 sets of 10-15 reps. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"s1\">Dumbbell Reverse Crunches<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/B1SY1kmjV1yVAJcbpJ\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/media.giphy.com\/media\/B1SY1kmjV1yVAJcbpJ\/giphy.gif?resize=480%2C270&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Animated GIF - Find &amp; Share on GIPHY\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Lay flat on your back again for this one but this time, place a dumbbell between your feet with your knees completely bent and thighs pointing straight up. Hold on to the dumbbell with your feet and bring your legs up toward your chest making sure your lower back gets off the ground. Focus on using your abs to pull your legs up and not getting momentum from your knees or feet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">4 sets of 10-15 reps.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"s1\">Rotating Mountain Climbers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For this one, get into a regular push-up position. Now, similar to mountain climbers, you will be driving your knees upward but will also do a twist as you do so. So you drive your knees to your opposite elbow as you twist your core.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">4 sets of 10-15 reps each way.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"s1\">Dumbbell Woodchops<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/uANrWMqcPO9s62VFoZ\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/media.giphy.com\/media\/uANrWMqcPO9s62VFoZ\/giphy.gif?resize=480%2C270&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Animated GIF - Find &amp; Share on GIPHY\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Stand with a single dumbbell held by both hands and start off by turning your shoulders completely to one side, keeping the dumbbell low.
