3 Moves to Killer Ripped Abs (#nofilterneeded)

October 15, 2014 2 min read

I absolutely love working my abs, but the standard crunches and sit-ups get boring after a while. I love trying new exercises that targets the abdominal muscle groups because it keeps things fun and refreshing. If I get bored with my workouts, I tend to want to do other things.. like get in my pajamas, order a pizza, and watch a marathon of "How I Met Your Mother." After giving birth 8 months ago (wow, has it really been that long?), these 3 moves helped to get me back on track. They are very subtle and in addition to a clean diet and consistent strength training & cardio, they will help to get you on your way to some fine definition! Here are 3 of my favorite moves for killer ripped abs: 1. Woodchoppers

Using a resistance band, anchor the loop or tube band under your left foot.
With your right side to the support, grab the free end of the band with your arms stretched out overhead.
In one smooth motion, pull the band down and across your body to the front of your knees while rotating your right hip and pivoting your back foot.
Slowly return to starting position and repeat for 8-10 reps on each side.

2. Russian Twists

Sit on the ground with your knees bent and your heels about a foot from your butt.
Lean slightly back without rounding your spine at all. It is really important, and difficult, to keep your back straight, but don’t let it curve.
Place your arms straight out in front of you with your hands one on top of the other. Your hands should be level with the bottom of your ribcage.
Pull your navel to your spine and twist slowly to the left. The movement is not large and comes from the ribs rotating, not from your arms swinging. Inhale through center and rotate to the right.
This completes one rep.

3. Reverse Crunch

Lie on the floor and place hands on the floor or behind the head.
Bring the knees in towards the chest until they're bent to 90 degrees, with feet together or crossed.
Contract the abs to curl the hips off the floor, reaching the legs up towards the ceiling.
Lower and repeat.
It's a very small movement, so try to use your abs to lift your hips rather than swinging your legs and creating momentum.

Shipping & Delivery

Due to COVID-19, shipping systems the world over are experiencing abnormal delays. There is an enormous demand on postal and delivery services as online shopping has skyrocketed, due to store closures and stay-at-home mandates. This is an unprecedented situation, and we are working around the clock to fulfill your orders as quickly as possible. To be clear, we are filling orders in 2-3 days, and we are shipping immediately after that. Once shipped, our shipping partner, UPS, will get your order out to you as quickly as possible. Thanks for your support and understanding.

Are you in Canada? Specifically, are you outside of a metropolitan centre? We need to alert you to a disruption in shipping due to COVID-19. Our preferred shipping provider, UPS, has informed us that they cannot guarantee express shipping for many locations. We have also seen that packages delivered to Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, etc, are not waylaid, but packages delivered to areas just outside of these cities are being held in transit for days or even weeks. UPS has discontinued their guarantee of 1-4 day delivery, which you can read more about here. Therefore, we can guarantee early fulfillment but not early delivery of our goods from our warehouse to your door at this time.

We want you to start your fitness journey with us as quickly as possible, that’s why we send every package to the USA & Canada via expedited or standard shipping with our partners at UPS. Once your order is received and processed, it typically takes 2-4 days to get to you once it leaves our warehouse. That’s our commitment and we stand by it.

We ship within Canada and the United States via UPS with Standard & Expedited shipping (whichever is faster)

For locations outside of the US and Canada, we ship using FedEx International (EUROPE and Other Nations), which is usually in transit for 7-10 business days, depending on location.

We ship all of our physical products with UPS, from our warehouse location in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Delays caused due to custom withholds are not included in these estimated delivery times.
