Core Crushing: Your Ultimate Ab Routine
Workout by Cassius Cam
In today's installment of Cassius Cam's WOD, we're zeroing in on the core—an oft-overlooked yet crucial component of any comprehensive fitness plan.
While compound lifts lay the foundation for core strength, targeted abdominal exercises are essential for enhancing stability and overall physical health.
Equipped with a cable machine, pull-up bar, ab wheel, and reverse hyper machine, this routine promises to challenge and strengthen your core like never before.
Designed to complement your regular weight training, these exercises focus on super sets to maximize intensity and effectiveness, laying the groundwork for a stronger, more resilient core.
Now is the perfect time to sculpt your abs, ensuring you're beach-ready and beyond.
Equipment Needed
- Cable machine
- Pull up bar
