They say you should always ask for what you want, and it looks like our prayers for a Halle Berry [1] ab workout were finally answered. Halle [2], aka Ms. Fitness Friday, just shared five of her favourite ab-sculpting workouts on Instagram [3], and we are hyped.
"It's officially ab season, y'all," Halle said in her Instagram caption. "My abs already know what time it is, and now it's your turn." Challenge accepted! We've done Halle's ab workouts before, and they are no joke [4]. If you're ready to strengthen your core, try her five-move workout ahead.
Halle Berry's Ab-Shredding Workout
- Ab wheel rollout: 10 to 12 reps
- Single-leg walkout push-up: 10 to 12 reps
- Partner plank shift: 10 to 12 reps (up and back)
- Hollow rock: 30 to 60 seconds
- Partner leg taps: 10 to 12 reps
Ab Wheel Rollout
Grab an ab wheel [6], or a barbell with two rubber bumper plates, and complete 10 to 12 reps of the ab wheel rollout. You can also do this move with an exercise ball [7].
Single-Leg Walkout Push-Up
Next up, you've got a single-leg walkout push-up. Basically, it's a plank walkout [8] with one leg elevated off the ground followed by a push-up [9]. Complete 10 to 12 reps.
Partner Plank Shift
If that wasn't hard enough, give the partner plank shift a shot. It's a small movement that will leave your core shaking. If you don't have a partner, you can do a body saw [10].
Hollow Rock
Still with us? Great. Next up is the hollow rock [11]. Hold for 30 to 60 seconds.
Partner Leg Taps
Are your abs trembling yet? Finish off your workout with partner leg taps. If you don't have a partner, you can do a lying leg raise with a hip thrust [12], double-leg lifts [13], or reverse crunches [14]. Complete 10 to 12 reps.
