#AbsWednesdays is this version of the bicycle. Start first with your palms either beside or behind you. Of course if you like torture, slide right for a look ma, no hands version. . -------------------- If both of these are too advanced, just try the regular bicycle crunch. Whichever you choose, do it for 3 sets of 10 (each side). . -------------------- Go forth and prosper with your cardio, strength training, and diet for those abs π₯ . -------------------- #eightsnweights #fitnigeria #nigeria #fitafrica #fitfam #fitblackmen #fitblackwomen #motivation #inspiration #abs #core #sixpackabs #weightloss #absworkout #coreworkout #blackfitness #absday

#AbsWednesdays is this Heel Tap. Repeat for 3-4 sets of 10 on each side. βββββββββ To make this easier, you can keep the foot on the mat with the leg bent. To make it more challenging, put your hands over your head and straighten the lifted leg. ββββββββ- #eightsnweights #abs #core #sixpackabs #absworkout #coreworkout #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #fitnigeria #nigeria #motivation #inspiration #blackfitness #quickabs

#AbsWednesdays! Don't think that because you are doing pushups, that's all you are doing π . -------------------- I have 3 versions of this exercise (scroll right), starting from easier to hardest. I'd recommend starting at the hardest and scaling back to where your body is right now. . -------------------- . Either way, don't flap your palms very quickly as that will not help this move faster, and you are not a bird π . -------------------- Do this for 3 rounds of 20-30 seconds. Remember what I say about abs? You need strength exercises like these ones, cardio, and nutrition to get there. . -------------------- #eightsnweights #fitnigeria #nigeria #fitafrica #fitfam #fitblackmen #fitblackwomen #motivation #inspiration #abs #core #sixpackabs #weightloss #absworkout #coreworkout

#AbsWednesdays is Hip Dips. This really works your obliques (sides of your abs). Your hips do not have to get all the way to the floor, but that twisting action is ππΎ Repeat for 3 sets of 10 on each side. These exercises help build strength, but also help with visible definition in your midsection. Remember you still have to maintain good nutrition, cardio, and rest to lose the fat all over. . . . #eightsnweights #fitnigeria #nigeria #fitafrica #fitfam #fitblackmen #fitblackwomen #motivation #inspiration #abs #core #sixpackabs #weightloss #absworkout #coreexercises #StayatHome #obliques #muscles #absexercise #plank
