You would be surprise of the changes you can make over a 7 day period.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or advanced, if you stick to a workout plan and eat properly, it’s impossible for you not to see some changes.
The mind is a very powerful tool, therefore, if you put it towards any challenge you’ll make it through with results.
This 7 day ab challenge will target your love handles and carve a sexy waistline.
However, one thing you should bear in mind is that if you want to maximize and keep the results, you have to continue working out when the 7 day ab challenge is over.
Unfortunately, that’s the price that must be paid if you want to maintain a fit and healthy body.
For this 7 day love handle challenge it will consist of 3 targeted ab workouts and a cardio session after.
OK let’s get right into it!👍
1. Side-to-side Jumps
This workout is a real fat burner and quite fun to do.
It’s one of the best love handle workouts because it’s a semi-cardio and obliques exercise.
When performing this exercise, make sure that you’re wearing a sports bra to hold your breasts in place because you’ll be required to be agile.
How to do it
- Get into the plank position, except your butt should be high in the air forming a V-shape to the ground.
- You’re going to use your feet to propel yourself into the air jumping to the left.
- Do the same to the right back-and-forth and repeat.
- The required amount of reps are listed on the chart.
2. Fast Kicks
Make sure that you’re fully hydrated because this workout will have you soaked in sweat after a couple of minutes.
The beauty of this move is that it also targets your lower belly area and your upper abdominal region.
So not only will you be shredding waist fat but you will be targeting other regions of the abdominal area.
How to do it
- Sit down on your buttocks with your hands supporting your upper body from behind.
- Your feet should be flat on the ground.
- Now you’re going to start a running motion, kicking your feet in the air.
- Do the required amount of sets as listed on the chart.
3. Sway Planks
This is similar to your standard plank exercise with a small twist.
Not only will your waistline benefit from this exercise but even your upper body will get some action.
How to do it
- Get into the plank position with your core contracted and palms firmly placed on the ground.
- Now you’re going to lean towards the right while your left hand is lifted up off the ground.
- Lean back to the left, this time with your right hand off the ground and repeat.
- Do the required amount of reps listed on the chart below.
The cardio routine
After completing the required amount of sets for the above workouts you’ll need to do a 15 minute cardio routine.
You can do a cardio routine that you enjoy, whether it’s running, biking, treadmill or stair casing.
Just make sure that it’s at least 15 minutes. The reason for this is some persons prefer to choose their own cardio when doing a challenge.
However, for those of you who want a specific cardio routine, in the video below is a sweat-busting 💦 routine you can do.
