Exercise: Perfect 10 Abs

This workout is a time challenge, you will complete what you can as fast as you can with good form and your goal is to beat me!! I would love it if you all beat me! If your abs aren't literally smoking after this workout I would love to train you personally. ;-) No equipment necessary except gumption!
Below are the 3 sets of exercises, there are 2 different exercises per set. Each set you will do 10 times!! So set 1 you will do 100 seconds of elbow plank total and 100 mountain climbers total. It is killer!! Take breaks if you need them (I had my fair share of them) to let those muscles cool off then start right back up where you left off. I added some modifications to a few of the exercises. Good luck and show off those six packs!

10 seconds elbow plank
10 mountain climbers
        10 times

10 double leg drops
10 crunch and reach
        10 times

10 side crunches left
10 side planks left
10 side crunches right
10 side planks right
       10 times
    (5 times each)




The toughest part for me were those leg drops-phew they killed me. I had to take a few breaks during that one but I didn't stop my stopwatch. If you need breaks or to modify please do so!! You can always try the workout again in a few days and see if you got stronger, but do NOT sacrifice your form or get hurt!! I finished this workout in 18:28 minutes.....BEAT ME!!
