Molly’s quick and efficient 10-minute ab practice saves her when time is limited but she really wants powerful abs.
Designed to tighten, tone, and shape, this quick workout loads in maximum effects with little time.
“I sought something I could do regularly, even on my busiest days,” Molly says. Her ten-minute exercise merely requires dedication and a little area to move in without any equipment.
Molly has an ab-defining schedule like this:
Lie on your back and extend the other leg while bringing one knee to the opposite elbow in thirty-second Bicycle Crunches. “I feel the burn with this one every time,” Molly says, “bicycle crunches hit both upper and lower abs.”
Sit on the floor, lean back slightly, and twist side to side tapping the ground next to you in 30 seconds Russian twists. Hold a little weight for more intensity.
Start in a plank posture then alternate between a plank and a push-up position for thirty seconds. “This movement is fantastic for general strength and helps to build core stability,” Molly notes.
Lie flat on your back, then gently lower your legs down without hitting the ground after raising them to a 90-degree angle. Thirty seconds. Molly observes, “It’s simple but really targets the lower abs.”
In a high plank posture, rapidly alternate bringing knees toward your chest for five thirty-second mountain climbers. “Mountain climbers get the heart rate up while working the core,” she says.
Repeat if You Can: Molly advises a second round for individuals with some extra time. She emphasizes that consistency—even in smaller workouts—may provide notable benefits. “Showing up consistently is everything,” she says.
