We all want our abs and booty to look great! There’s a lot of different things that go into that happening, one of them being training(another very important one is nutrition but we won’t get into that here). When training a muscle it’s important to hit it from lots of different angles and challenge it in ways that are new from time to time so that you don’t hit a plateau. Two ways to do that are to add weight and try new moves, you may be doing one or both with this workout depending if you’ve tried moves like this before!
Each of these moves can be done without added weight and they are still very effective that way! If these moves are new to you(especially the ab moves) it may be good to start without weight and go from there!
