Ashley Graham's "Buddy Challenge" Exercise Video Is Making Our Abs Sore Just Watching It

Ashley Graham puts in work at the gym. Whether she's lifting heavy at Dogpound [1] or getting spotted by her sexy husband [2], the model is all the fitspo we need [3]. She recently took ab day up a notch with a core exercise featuring her and celebrity trainer Dara Hart.

Dara posted this video on her Instagram feed and dubbed it the Buddy Push Pike. The exercise involves the partner on the bottom (Dara in the video) lying down and then rolling up into a seated position holding their partner's ankles. The person on top (Ashley in the video) faces down and holds on to their partner's ankles. As Dara rolled up, Ashley lifted her legs up into a pike position. They hold this position for a few counts, then roll back down and continue for a few reps.

No wonder Dara listed this as part of her #BuddyChallenge series — both moves really work your core and abs. Plus, it will test your balance [4], not to mention your patience with the other person. If you're looking to ramp up your core workouts [5], grab a partner, and get to work!
