This 35-minute workout includes 18 upper-body and five abdominal exercises with no repeats. During the upper body portion, we work for 45 seconds and then rest for 15 seconds. During the ab finisher, we work for 60 seconds with no rest breaks. However, if you need to rest, please do so. For equipment, you will need an exercise mat, a chair, and a set of dumbbells.
While there are many schools of thought on this, I prefer to pair abdominal strengthening with either cardio or upper body strength. Why? Because that's what feels best for my body. However, you can effectively pair abdominal strength work with upper-body, lower-body, or cardio workouts, with each having its unique advantages. Abs and upper body often complement each other, as many upper body moves require core stabilization. Pairing abs with cardio (such as mountain climbers or burpees) increases calorie burn and functional fitness. Abs with lower body movements can help build overall strength, but may cause your abs to fatigue more quickly. Ultimately, your best choice depends on your goals, training frequency, and recovery needs. Integrating abdominal strength work into various training days, or rotating how you pair it, can help you achieve balanced results and keep your workouts engaging.
