Newsflash: sculpting your midsection [2] doesn't have to entail repetitive crunches and mind-numbing planks [3]. It can actually be a — dare I say it? — fun process. Case in point: Jeanette Jenkins's latest ab workout challenge [4].
The celebrity trainer, who works with stars like Pink and Alicia Keys, just crafted a no-equipment core workout [5] that only uses a wall to scorch both your abs and upper body, and it looks intense and super effective. Using a single wall, Jeanette goes through the following seven moves:
- Mountain climbers
- Toe taps
- Walk out and in
- Alternating knee crosses
- Hand to opposite knee
- Wall planks to squat jumps
- Single leg wall jumps
See what I mean? You've gotta admit this routine looks pretty darn fun. Jeanette suggests doing each move for 30 to 60 seconds and repeating the cycle three times. If you're looking for a dynamic ab workout to switch things up from your usual go-to routine, give Jeanette's wall challenge a try. But beware: your abs will be practically begging for mercy by the third set. Don't say we didn't warn you!
