Replay Video UP NEXT
While most gyms have re-opened, we’re still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, where working out at home is still your safest bet. (Plus, gyms can be expensive and hard to get to if you have a busy schedule and are constantly crunched for time.)
But, you can still get a high-quality workout in from the comfort of your own living room, basement, bedroom, or backyard, no matter how small your space is. This at-home ab workout, created by Simone Tchouke, a NASM-certified personal trainer, is the perfect example you don’t need any equipment or a ton of space to move around.
Mountain Climber Hold
Start in a high plank position, shoulders over wrists, core engaged so body forms a straight line from shoulders to hips to heels. Engage your glutes and thighs to keep your legs straight. Drive your left knee in toward your chest, hold for a few seconds, then step it back to plank position. Immediately drive the right knee in toward chest, hold for a few seconds, then step it back into plank position.
Hollow-Body Rock
Lie faceup with legs straight, feet lifted, and toes pointed forward. Extend your arms past your head. Engage core think belly button to spine while pressing your lower back into the mat, and looking straight ahead, rock forward and back without changing body position. Focus on maintaining the braced core as your rock.
