I am not a big believer in doing abs at the end of a workout
I am also not a believer in doing any ab workout that does not train the abs to be dynamic stabilizers in multiple planes. Lastly, I do not like laying down to train abs that were designed to function in standing.
Why this Core Activator Workout is Perfect
This Core Activator Workout is the perfect pre-workout ab activator because it:
- Activates the abs to be ready for any workout
- Gets the heart rate up and the nervous system excited
- Increases the body’s core temperature
- Activates hips and ab stabilizers simultaneously
- Gets shoulder stabilizers ready to go if pushing is in the workout plan for that day
- Is perfect to do before an interval cardio day
- Beats the heck out of doing sit ups and crunches
- Incorporates movements that train the abs the way they were designed to work
This is one of those follow along workouts, so grab a band and a 13” Dynamic Stabilizer and let’s get to work.
