East Bay Turkish Get-Up

The Turkish Get-Up is great for building upper body and core strength. The Turkish Get-Up is not only great at building strength, but also at increasing flexibility.

Here Are My Favorite 5 Ab Exercises East Bay

People ask me all the time what kind of ab exercises I do to keep my stomach so flat. I decided to show you my 5 favorite ab exercises that I do every single day to keep my core in tip-top shape.

Here are my 5 top ab exercises:

1) Stability Ball Plank:  Doing this is 30% harder than regular planks on the floor. You're basically holding your body in a push-up position on the ball. Keep your core activated and your back completely straight. I usually hold this position for 3 minutes.

 2) Stability Ball Roll-out: This is another killer core exercise that targets your lower back, abs, and shoulders. Start by kneeling down on the ground, place your hands together on top of the ball. In one motion, extend your arms out by rolling the ball forward. At the same time, drop your hips forward and extend the rest of your body. Then roll the ball back to the starting position.

                       Start                                           Finish

3) L-Chinup: This is an advanced move that I only recommed to you if you have a strong core. Start by hanging youself from a chin up bar and brining your legs up to an position while doing chin ups.

4) Regular Plank Done to Failure:  At the end of a hard core workout, I like to do one big plank and hold it for as long as I can. At the end of my workouts I usually can hold this for 6-7 minutes. Do this exercise for as long as you can. 

5) Straight Hanging Leg Raise: Start by hanging yourself from a chin-up bar while tucking your knees towards your chest. This motion really targets your lower abs, which is the problem area for most people. 

I hope you enjoy the exercises that I torture myself with on a daily basis. Try these core and ab exercises at your discretion. If these exercises are too hard to do, don't worry, just work up to them.
