As many reps as possible ab routine for 8 minutes solid! No breaks!
For this abs workout with dumbbells you will need a mat, however dumbbell can be optional. I am using a 8kg dumbbell for your reference!
The weight you use in this weighted ab workout is completely up to you, though I recommend not too heavy so that you can focus on lifting solely with the abdominal muscles. Even though this is an amrap workout, please do not rush the movements and allow momentum from body to lift.
Please remember to adapt exercises to your ability. Here are some adaptations to make to exercise if you would like to make them that little bit easier.
During leg lowers and hollows, bend knees and/or lower legs not so far down.
If you tend to feel strain in your neck when performing crunches try looking at point in ceiling high and in front and think about lifting your upper back off floor with just tour upper ab muscles. Take it slow and controlled. Otherwise you can drop the dumbbell and place hands behind head to provide extra support.
Simply perform each movement for 20 seconds, then straight onto next exercise and so on! Once you complete all 4 exercises, begin all again for amrap!

Simply the best trainer on YouTube!! I’ve already been seeing improvements in my physique and strength!! Thank you so much Caroline!!
When you think you are crushing the plank challenge at the end and then look at the timer and it's only been 40 seconds!
My neck is burning more than my core
what am i doing wrong
It's nice
New work out, no weights though, hard one but good.
Ahh! Could not hold that 2-minute plank. Took a few breaks starting at 50 seconds. Did this after EPIC Heat Day 18.
Love your workouts. Wish there were beeps to cue the transition to next exercise so I'm not constantly watching the screen as it ruins form.
I’m assuming that you’re Irish from the accent (idk) but if you are that really made me more down to workout idk why
Nice workout! You can make it challenging by going with heavier weights or lighter weights for days when you need to take it a little easy.
Why did my ribs and sternum started to hurt?
happy weekend
thank you beautiful Caroline, you're beautiful and radiant, love your positive energy
Day 3
Done!
Can I say how fun this was to see the early days of Caroline's workouts?! I wanted 8 min of abs (actually 10 in the end), and it was great to see the original format, timer but still an amazing ab session, and wow, what a great test with the 2 min of plank at the end!
1:58 when it starts
puh, this was not easy! P.S.: thank you so much for introducing the loaded side set down to me, that one really felt very good!
I do the 5 min warm, 10 min full body and the 8 min abs with dumbbells… feel fab!
