Popsugar Health & Fitness Workouts Halle Berry Equipment-Free Ab Workout Review I Tried Halle Berry's Bodyweight Ab Workout, and My Abs Just Made Their Grand Appearance 7 July 2019 by Tamara Pridgett Image Source: Getty / Jacopo Raule I'm going to cut to the chase: I love Halle Berry, and I love her workouts, especially her ab workouts. If there was a Halle Berry "Fitness Friday" fan club, I'd be the president (this actually sounds like a great idea), but I digress. Halle's latest ab workout is all about feeling strong, sexy, and confident, and it takes less than five minutes to do. That's my type of workout. Because I've tried a few of her other ab workouts, I expected this one to ignite my abdominal muscles — and it 100 percent did. This workout will help strengthen your core with dynamic and high-intensity movements like the Russian twist and side skaters. It's short, effective, and will make your abs look more sculpted. If you're looking for a challenge, try Halle's ab workout for yourself.
