The 3 exercises are
1. Renegade Dumbbell Rows
2. Front Squats with a Barbell
3. Mountain Climbers on Floor
A good rep scheme to use with this could be 3-4 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, or more sets for less reps, such as 5 sets of 5 reps of each exercise. Instead of counting the number of reps, you can do mountain climbers for say 30 seconds.
Renegade dumbbell rows
Start in a pushup position with the hands on 2 dumbbells. Row with one arm holding a dumbbell while stabilizing your body with the one on the floor. Bring the arm back to the starting position with the dumbbell on the floor, then stabilize your body with that arm while you raise the other arm in a rowing motion. You have to use all your abdominals to stabilize your body during the rowing motion. Believe me… you will definitely be working your abs!
Front squats
These are similar to back squats, however with the barbell in front of your body on the front of your shoulders instead of resting on the upper back as in back squats. With your elbows pointing away from you, cross your arms and hold the barbell on the front of your shoulders.
You might want to get some help with the form of this exercise, as you will need to practice some to get it right. With the barbell on the front of your shoulders, your abs will have to work hard to stabilize your body. This looks like just a leg workout, but your abs will get a big workout too!
Mountain climbers
Start in a pushup position and then shuffle your feet in and out so that your knees are moving in under your chest and then back out to starting position. It is sort of like climbing a mountain while staying on a flat floor. To make this even more intense, move your hands 8-10 inches forward and backward while you are moving your legs. Do these and you will feel it over your whole body, because they work much more than with standard mountain climbers.
Rest around 30 seconds after each exercise before starting the next one. Give yourself 1-2 minutes of rest after each cycle of these 3 exercises.
Without doing any direct ab exercises, your abs will still be getting a great workout. After you try it, I bet you will agree with me!
