4 x 4 ABS! LOWER ABS FOCUSED A simple yet very effective routine to work the ab muscles and core with a focus on the lower abs! Straight to the point and intense! The main focus for this routine is that lower back pressed into the mat the entire time- it doesn-t matter how low you lower the legs but so important to only lower to where you can keep that back PRESSED into the mat! If you lie flat on your back with legs straighten out and completely relaxed, you will notice you can place hand or a small gap in under the lower back due to natural curvature. Then think about preventing this gap. You automatically brace the core and press the lower back into the mat. This is s simple way to think about leg lowers. If you perform leg lowers with bending at the knees, lower to just above the floor or lower by 30-, this isn-t important. If you try to lower past where you should and the lower back lifts off the mat, then you simply won-t be working the muscles you are aiming to! And ensure you are breathing the entire time! Aim to relax your breathe and exhale during the lowering! I really appreciate repetition when I perform ab workouts, even if it is not specifically repetition but variations off s similar movement, I find I gain the most from! One other point- take it SLOW! Perform each rep with intent! The timer will be on for 40 seconds of work per exercise with 5 seconds to get ready for the next exercise! As the title implies, we simply perform these 4 exercises for 4 sets amounting to 12 minutes! All you will need is your mat! TUCK LEG LOWER REVERSE CRUNCH TO TOE TAP ALTERNATING LEG LOWER Take your time with each rep and have fun!

Hello everyone!
I would like to say thank you for joining me this month. I have loved every single workout and along with walking it has been really enjoyable. I hope you have enjoyed the variety and just how shorter duration workouts can provide so much when performed properly.
A quick and effective workout doesn-t need to be fast paced and all go but actually incorporating compound movements with structured rest and isolation towards the end is a perfect way to stimulate those muscles.
Tomorrow is day 24! It has been a joy to share my workouts with you and again, thank you.
Well done to everyone who also committed this time as I know December can be busy!
See you tomorrow for a fun way to finish and celebrate our year of training together!

I wanted to know if you could create a audio description with your videos I am visually impaired so it's hard for me to see exactly what you are doing in the video but it looks like something that I could achieve if I had a little bit of a description of what you're doing.

I think this is going to be my new favourite abs routine. I hate doing abs, most of the times I end up not working them at all, so I'm gonna follow the philosophy -some movement is better than no movement- and do this.

This was hard. Definitely had to add a few breaks, but its good to be humbled from time to time.
Thanks for your efforts, Caroline! Much appreciated

Came back to this one, really focused on keeping my back on the mat, feeling the muscles working and PHEW did it ever burn! Loved it!

Did this after day 11 of endgame have a feeling that tomorrow's add on will be abs and my legs will give up before my core does -

I love the add on workouts you provide each day. A fun variety of short workouts. Especially the AB workouts!
