This is the final exercise in the ab torture workout series. Make sure that you do each of these parts back to back – meaning one right after the other with minimal breaks in between (ideally just move from one exercise directly to the next one). If you don’t have a clubbell then you can use a medicine ball or any other free weight for this workout routine.
This exercise that I am doing with the clubell is the diagonal crunch. Watch my grip in the video if you are using the clubbell. The important thing with this exercise is to keep your lower back pressed flat into the mat and your hips steady and locked down. Try to lift one shoulder blade off of the ground while reaching with the weight in your hands towards your opposite hip. The other shoulder should stay on the mat at all times. Complete 20 reps on each side with 100 skips (or another cardio exercise) in between. Repeat this sequence twice and congratulations, you have survived my ab torture workout :)
Enjoy your burning stomach muscles!
Best,
Zuzana
Hi Zuzana,
Amazing workout series and you always pick the most motivating scenery! I’m putting together a new workout for myself and my question is, How long does it take you to do all 5 parts of this workout? I ask because I think i’ll have to do this workout all by itself and won’t have time to incorporate it with any other exercises for the day. Plus it looks hard….all the credit to you for making it seem so easy. :) Thanks for providing another helpful workout.
All the best,
Son

Hi georgeta,
Clubbells are bought online as they don’t seem to be any stores, yet. Clubbells are found in the shop (left side) on Scott Sonnon’s website. Which is http://www.clubbell.tv
Hope this helps,

THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MATCH….((((( CL )))))….FOR THE RESPONSE ON CLUBBELLS…..I REALLY WANTED THEM….NOONE NEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN I WAS GOING TO STORES TO ASK FOR IT….LOL
Zuzana,
I did this whole workout today morning. It is great! A lot of cardio – skips – I love skipping so it is made right for me :).
And the exercises…oh my, I can fell the abs now!
Thanks for this routine, I love it!
It took me exactly 40 minutes to finish it, but I was doing it first time, so I was learning the proper form of exercises and stuff…Next time I hope for some better timing!
Zuzana, how long took you to finish this workout?
Oh, and I was doing each part two times like you suggested.
Enjoy,
Tina

Want 2 know how long the whole ab torture series took you?I completed all 5,2sets each side with 100 skips between 2day and it took 38min.Not as hard as I thought it would be,the real proof will be in the days 2come:)hahaha!but if Im not feelin it should I increase reps or wieght? Love all your hard work and appeciate your willing to share and motovate!U ROCK!!!
What brand are you wearing that sports bra is so cute!
I did the best I could and making it the faster I was able to, but it seems that I suck, it took me about to 1.25 hrs to complete the whole 5 series :S… I should be faster the next time I think. By the way, the hardest part for me were the skips xD tomorrow for sure I will be feeling the abs work, but I really didn’t feel that burn in my abs I was expecting… lets see tomorrow how do I feel :P
Hi Suzana, I love your site. I am buying a jump rope and a ball tonight for the legg torture work out. I hope you keep all your work outs posted.
Hi Suzana,
Thanks for these fab workouts and other tips you share with us. I’d like to slim down my hips and thighs. Would you have any tips or exercises for me?
what size clubbell were you using on the AB Torture routine? Thanks.
Hi
The 5 workouts are great, I love targeting the abs.
Any tips on keeping the neck relaxed in these workouts?
Thanks
