Workout Video Tutorial

One of my favorite things to do before I workout is getting inspiration from the influencers I follow on Instagram! Like I have mentioned before, Ashleigh Jordan is my favorite (@ashleigh_jordan). I get a lot of my workout inspo from the videos she uploads to her social media. Every workout video displays how she properly completes the moves and in her caption she writes how many sets she does, and usually includes a diet tip.

I decided to try making my own video that shows you two different abdominal workouts that I like to do after I complete my cardio routine on the treadmill. I honestly hate videoing myself but I have to say, I think it came out alright 😂👌🏼.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

In this video I go through two different abdominal workouts:

1. Weighted Crunch Variation

• With this workout you want to make sure that your back is laying flat on the mat or ground where you are lying.

• Next, you will want to lift your legs into the sky. You should try having them straighter than mine are in the video. This is something I will need to improve on as well!

• You will then grab a weight (I chose a 10 lb. dumbbell) and you are going to run your arms parallel with your legs and reach up to your toes with the weight.

• I do this move ten times for three alternating sets. (3x10)

2. Weighted Diagonal Reach

• This next move you are going to make sure that your back is still flat against the mat.

• You will then have one knee raised, and one leg parallel to the ground, making sure that it is not touching the ground. Make sure you are engaging your ab muscles when keeping that leg lifted and parallel.

• Next, you will take a five pound weight in your right hand and cross over to the left side of your body and your left leg will then meet your right elbow in a diaginal crunch move.

• It’s hard to explain in words, but if you have watched the tutorial video, it will make much more sense!

• Once you have completed 10 crunches with your right arm and left leg, you will switch to your left arm and right leg.

• After you have completed ten crunches on both sides of your body, that ill count as one set and you will need two more to be complete. (3x10)
