30-Day Abs Challenge
Every new year presents a fresh start, giving you the chance to develop new habits, explore hobbies, and adopt different attitudes. Unfortunately, many people find their motivation waning after a few weeks due to a lack of a structured plan and support.
To help you succeed, we present the 30-Day Abs Challenge, focusing on strengthening your core.
This program features daily workouts that target specific functions of the abs.
Each of the first four days of the week will focus on a key function, while the last three will combine these functions for a comprehensive core workout.
On the seventh day, you’ll challenge yourself with a five-minute test.
Each workout takes just five minutes, allowing you to easily fit them into your routine.
As the challenge progresses, the intensity will increase, keeping your workouts effective and engaging.
