Quantum Abs Workout est 18 min
2012
This workout is filled with lots of ab exercises using a medicine ball. It has 10 different ones, so you get a great variety! If you don’t have a medicine ball, just modify by using your body weight or other weight, such as another ball, dumbbell, kettle bell or even a water bottle. There are burpees again, and like a Mom sneaks vegetables into her kids meals I sneak burpees into workouts. They just work. Burpees are a great full body exercise that really works the core muscles. So between these and all the different ab exercises, your core and abs will get a blast!
