This intense ab circuit training workout burns belly fat and sculpts sexy abs.

This intense ab circuit training workout starts with 4 minutes of intense cardio intervals that burn fat and tons of calories and prepare you for the ab workout. You can use the same intervals on any cardio machine, with bodyweight squats, with a jump rope, with stairs or running outdoors as long as you alternate between 20 seconds of hard work and 10 seconds of easy work 8 times (a total of 4 minutes).

After your fat burning cardio perform set 1 of each ab exercise without resting between exercises. Take a quick 20-30 second break then repeat the circuit one more time. Combine this workout with additional cardio or with shorter boot camp workouts for better results.

3 point rollout on ball
1. Place your forearms on top of the ball and your feet anchored on the floor.
2. Keep your trunk in a parallel position and draw your belly button in towards your spine.
3. Slowly extend your arms out away from your body and then bring them back in towards your chest.

This is a small movement so make sure you have good form and that you engage your core as you go out and also as you come back in.

Rollover with Stability Ball
1) Start position: Lie with back on floor or bench with hips flexed at 90° and feet in air holding a stability ball. Position arms at sides with palms down on floor.
2) Keeping legs straight lower your legs towards the floor and then bring them up towards your head. You will have to lift your glutes and lower back off the floor to accomplish this.
3) Return to start position.
4) Remember keep legs from swinging to prevent momentum throughout the exercise


ab circuit training tip:
The key here is to use the abs and not the legs to get the ball up and then over. Turn the palms up to keep the hands and arms from helping.
