Workout for Killer Abs
Are you ready to take your abdominals to the next level? These five moves will ignite your muscles and sculpt your core. Do three sets of 10 reps for each move and your abdominals will be begging for mercy. No TRX Straps? Each move can be done with your feet on a Swiss ball.

TRX Fitness Strap Pikes


The pike doesn’t look hard, but if done correctly you will feel the burn in upper, lower and deep inside your abdominals. Start in the plank position from your elbow with your feet in the TRX straps. Keeping your back and legs straight use your abs to lift your butt towards the ceiling. Return to plank position.
TRX Fitness Strap Mountain Climbers


Mountain Climbers are basically the opposite of a bicycle crunch. Start in the plank position with your feet in the TRX straps and hands on the floor. Bring one knee into your chest, pause, then return to starting position. Repeat with other knee.
TRX Fitness Strap Knee Tucks


This time, instead of tucking one knee at a time into your chest, put your knees together and, angling your legs slightly out to the side, tuck both knees into your armpit. Return to start and repeat on other side.
TRX Fitness Strap Fire Hydrants


Ok, so typically a fire hydrant is a Pilates move that works the glute muscles, but here, with our feet in the TRX straps we can easily turn this exercise into a core move that hits the obliques HARD. Start in the plank position with your hands on the floor and your feet in the straps. Bring one knee forward, but instead of tucking it into your chest, take it to the outside, trying to touch the side of your shoulder with it. If you think of a dog and a fire hydrant, you’ll see where the name comes from.
TRX Fitness Strap Planks


By now you might be thinking: “oh, planks, good. Something easy.” You would, however, be wrong, because we don’t want easy. We are going to kick this up a notch. Start in the plank position with your feet in the TRX straps and your hands on the floor. Move one arm onto your elbow, then the other. Return to starting position one arm at a time.
By now, your abs should be on fire!
