Target Your Abs, Arms, Legs, and Butt With Ashley Graham's 5-Day Fitness Challenge

13/10/2020 - 01:44 AM

Five days, five workouts, all less than 10 minutes long: all we can say is thank you, Ashley Graham, for an A+ fitness challenge! The supermodel released a 10-minutes-a-day plan as a part of her YouTube series, "Thank Bod [1]," which is all about getting strong and creating an accessible fitness routine, no matter where you are in your journey. And Graham, who's seven months postpartum [2], isn't just sharing the workouts — she's doing each one with us, filming from her garage at her family home in Nebraska.

Ahead, check out each of the five at-home workouts, created by Graham's trainer Kira Stokes [3], NASM. The circuits target abs, arms, lower body, and full body, and don't require any dumbbells, kettlebells, or machines. (Booty bands are optional in the last workout if you want a little more resistance.) The workouts are great, Graham's personality and humour are on full display, and we're sweating just watching. Throw on your workout clothes and let's get to work!

Day 1: Full Body

Start out strong with a seven-minute full-body workout, as Ashley leads us through squat pulses, plank walkouts, lunges and more.

Day 2: Arms and Abs

This workout is so good, we "cheated" and tried it out early [5]. The moves are simple and accessible but challenging for every level, from dead bugs to triceps push-ups to compound exercises like renegade row plank toe-taps.

Day 3: Legs

On day three, you'll target your lower body with an intense "sumo squat flow," which takes you from sumo squats into a pulse sequence that'll have your thighs shaking before circuit one is even done.

Day 4: Obliques and Booty

It doesn't get much better than an abs, obliques, and butt workout, and that's what Ashley gives us on day four! You'll be on your hands and knees for circuit one, which is all about pulses and kicks to fire up your glutes, then follow up with a plank circuit to engage your abs and obliques.

Day 5: Arms and Legs With Booty Band

Break out your booty band for day five! (Don't stress if you don't have one, because you can do all of these moves without it.) In this final, six-minute workout, you'll do squats, lateral band walks, and clamshells, then one last ab circuit to finish off the week! Now take a break and stretch out [6], because you've earned it.
