As a part of this challenge, Ting shared a ten-minute ab workout that features a total of 17 exercises on her YouTube channel. This routine includes several different variations of planks and crunches, flutter claps, roll-up toe taps, twist punches, and many more moves.

This ab workout is the essential part of Ting’s “Summer Shred” challenge, but it’s not the only one. She also shared another 10-minute routine that targets glutes, a separate 10-minute workout for abs and arms, and a full-body HIIT workout that can be completed in 20 minutes.

You can do several different workouts in a day to get the best results, and a quick warm-up and cool-down before each session is recommended. Ting shared a full plan for her “Summer Shred” challenge on her official website, and you can follow it to get the beach body of your dreams.

To perform dead bug, you should lie on your back with your knees up in the air at a 90-degree angle and your arms lifted towards the ceiling. Once you take the starting position, lower your right leg while extending your left arm above your head. Hold the position for a second and perform the same movements on the opposite side.

The dead bug is one of the best abs exercises for beginners and people struggling with back pain. It engages the muscles of your core while protecting your lower back and teaches you how to keep your stomach and spine stable while moving the rest of your body.

In addition to targeting your abs, this exercise can also do wonders for other muscle groups because it also engages your hips and back. If you’re trying to take your routine to the next level, grab your yoga mat, lay down on the floor, and kill your abs workout with a couple of sets of dead bug exercises.

Vertical Leg Crunch

To perform this crunch your legs should be straight up and you should either place hands behind your back or raise them to touch your feet.

Long Arm Crunch

To perform this type of crunch, take your arms above your head and start gently lifting your head and upper body of the ground.

Bicycle Crunch

This is one of the most popular crunches that most people are familiar with. It’s very dynamic but also highly effective if performed correctly.

Frog Crunch

This isn’t the first time that Berry shared her love for boxing with the world. She previously gushed about it in one of her Instagram posts from 2018 and called it “one of the best full-body workouts” because it allows you to sculpt every muscle and burn major calories and fat along the way.

Berry enjoys boxing because it helps you build confidence and decrease stress, but it’s not the only routine she uses to get an epic six-pack. She also described mixed martial arts, such as jiu-jitsu and capoeira, as “a recipe for really strong abs.”

Berry also said that MMA has been one of the biggest game-changers for her abs because you’re using your core the whole time. Even after years of doing crunches and sit-ups, the combination of boxing and martial arts did more for her six pack than any other fitness routine.

Berry shared this workout video as a part of her ongoing #fitnessfriday challenge and dedicated it to everyone who wants to transform their abs, especially working mothers like herself.

“My abdomen is my problem area so I have to work extra hard. I enjoyed my holiday time off a little too much, but now I’m back at it. I share with you my ab workout after my workout. YEP, that’s what I said. I do a whole workout after my workout,” wrote Berry on Instagram.

The brief video shows her wearing a Respin waist slimmer, while the rest of the exercises were shared in her Instagram stories. She can be seen doing three sets of 50 reps of ankle-weighted knee-ups, cross kick-ups, sit-ups, and additional four sets of 20 reps of plank pull-backs. In addition to ankle weights and waist slimmer, Berry also made resistance bands an integral part of her routine.

Arching Your Back

The most common mistake you’re making with this exercise is arching your lower back off the floor. By doing so, you’re making the exercise less effective because your abs aren’t lifting the load. You’re also putting yourself at risk of straining your lower back joints.

Legs Apart

The way your legs are aligned as you lift them up and down is also extremely important. You should put an effort into keeping your legs together and your inner thighs engaged because your workout becomes less effective when they’re apart.

Flexing Your Neck

There’s no need to lift your neck off the ground while doing this exercise. The goal is to target your abdominal and hip flexor muscles, and you can do that by simply lifting your legs without making any unnecessary movements that could cause strain on your neck muscles.

Ting’s latest challenge will take 28 days to complete and she shared the entire workout plan on her official website. The majority of the videos included in this workout are already available on her YouTube channel, which currently has almost 17 million subscribers.

Most recently, Ting uploaded several workout videos that are an essential part of this new viral challenge. Most notably, she shared a 15-minute full-body HIIT workout and posted a separate flat belly and abs workout that takes around 10 minutes to complete.

Contrary to popular belief, Ting’s workouts don’t lead to magical results, and you’ll have to set aside 20-45 minutes every day to complete them. Warm-up and cool-down are optional but highly recommended, especially if you’re still a beginner. In addition to featuring ab exercises, this routine comes with many full-body moves because it’s important to keep all muscle groups active to see the results.

Side Plank with Hip Drops

Despite the fact that it may look easy, side planks are an advanced ab exercise that you can make even more challenging if you do it on the forearm. This move is great for improving balance and mobility and adding a hip drop makes it a very effective core exercise.

Ball Knee Tucks

There isn’t a better way to get a killer core workout, engage your abdominal muscles, and challenge your balance than using a stability ball. Ball knee tucks are a great way to start improving your strength and stabilizing your body.

Plank with Leg Lift

Everyone is familiar with the basic plank move, but for advanced athletes this exercise probably isn’t very challenging. In that case, planks with a leg lift is a great way to take your ab workout to the next level and engage your core.

Ball Pikes

If you thought that knee tucks with stability ball were hard, prepare to do something even more challenging. Ball pikes are very similar, but you need to lift the hips even higher which requires a bit more strength and stability.
