Adding an extra ab focused workout into your weekly schedule has been my priority for a while. From my own experience, you can improve a lot of your sport specific or general athletic skills if you work on strengthening your core muscles on a regular basis and as much as possible. You can repeat this workout twice or three times if you feel like you can handle it or you can do it once in the morning and once in the evening.

Hello! Adding an extra ab workout into our schedule is meant after our workout-of-the-day or at another time later? I remember Zuska’s suggestion was not to make 2workouts in a row.. On the other side, it takes me often longer to get myself to do the workout than the time I need for completing the workout… :/ so getting in this process twice in the day it would be hard. But doing extra abs, stretching and exercises for improving certain skills takes also time. Roughly 15min extra.. Right? Any suggestions?

Hi Sofia,
I agree that there is often more time associated with the workout than the workout itself. At home I can manage to book 30 min , but it means I will do my warm-up,stretching maybe while I am waiting for the meal to cook, will take my shower later …but when I work in the office, I can’t do in less than 60min altogether.
So it depends how you structure your week, the weekly schedule from Zgym has a few days with high intensity, some with medium, and some low intensity. The goal is to NOT do high-intensity every day, but to move every day. This 5 min abs is short but intense, so you I would stick it with either another short intense workout , so that you don’t make more than 20 min… when you really feel pumped. Or I would stick it with a lower intensity day, provided you have rest days (some yoga moves and walking ).
If your goal is to work your core (any moves that recruit muscles holding from the shoulder girdle to hips), then you can focus on low-intensity (yoga, pilates) movements. I did efficiently do some post-partum oriented core workout (which are great and safe for anyone) every morning when I crawled out of bed ..some cat-cows and other mobility movements to warm-up , then I would do some isometric core workouts (mostly laying on the back). These can as well be done attached to a high-intensity workout, I would personaly do them before the workout so that you get your core activated and helps to keep good form during the forthcoming workout. I have a bad posture, so I talk by experience, but don’t know if physiologically there is a difference in regards of fat-burning effect.(I would say, form is more important)

Today I did 3 full rounds, plus 1 rep of last exercise. So, 83 reps total. One round is 22 reps.

Isnt 1 round 22 reps?
5+5+6+6=10+12=22?

Seriously loved this one! Sometimes the simplest/basic moves feel the most effective. I did Summer Shred 7X first (love that series) then did this. Feel great.

I’m a little confused by the two count. Wouldn’t one round be 22 reps? Does the last 6 reps only count as 1 rep total in your score? Thank you.
