Hi everboday and welcome back to the road to 6 pack abs workout challenge for week 5! I would like to congradulate you all on making it this far. Your commitment to this ab workout challenge is commendable and very impressive so keep up the good work as we are getting closer to week 6 and the half way point of this challenge.

Hopefully you are getting these ab workouts in at least 6 times a week. They only take 10 minutes so I hope you are being consistent because like I have said before, that is the way to results! If you have followed the program this far and have cleaned up your diet, you should be starting to see some results. These would include starting to see your top abs, as well as your close fitting better and your energy increasing.

For week 5, we are going to step it up a notch. The exercises are going to be a little harder but the harder they are, the more results you are going to get so try them out and keep doing them. Be consistent and you will see that the exercises will become easier! Now lets get to them!

12 Weeks to 6 Pack Abs Workout Challenge – Week 5 Exercises

Ab Exercise 1: Medicine Ball Plank Switches

2 Sets of 12 Switches Each Side

Ab Exercise 2: Medicine Ball Cross Knee Tuck

2 Sets of 10 Each Side

Ab Exercise 3: Figure 8’s

2 Sets of 8 to 10

Ab Exercise 4: Tubing Russian Twists

2 Sets of 12 Each Leg

Ab Exercise 5: Physio Ball Running Man

2 Sets of 12 Each Leg

Hopefully these exercises won’t be too hard for you and you will be able to do them. I am sure that if you are dedicated to the program thus far that you should have no trouble.

Lets talk a little about diet. Your diet is very key to your success in this program. As recommended a couple weeks ago, hopefully you have been to clean up your diet, stay away from sugary fatty foods and are starting to see results from it. If you are having trouble and find yourself still not eating all entirely well then it is now that you need to make a commitment to eating better if you want to succeed in this program. Its not going to be easy but try and stay away from unhealthy foods for the next 3 to 4 weeks. You will see that as time goes on, the cravings will significantly decrease and your results going towards 6 pack abs will significantly increase, giving you all the motivation in the world to stick to a healthy diet.

In terms of meals, I recommend you eat 5 healthy meals a day. That means that in a given week, you should eat 35 meals. To give you some flexibility, try and make sure 30 of those meals are healthy. This leaves you with 5 meals to play around with and cheat a little on your diet.

Back to your training now. Remember to be consistent with your training and to perform the exercises in a slow controled fashion. Make sure you are doing circuit training and moving through the exercises taking as few breaks as possible. Circuit training workouts and a good diet are the key to achieving a ripped, lean, athletic and muscular body!
