I'm Kurt Miller my protein Ambassador
0:15
I'm Abby pear my protein Ambassador in
0:18
this video me and Abby are going to be
0:19
taking you through eight unusual ab
0:25
exercises U me and Kirk met at a party
0:28
up in London and we were were both a
0:30
little bit tipsy both very drunk I had
0:33
chronic L enjoy it at the time so could
0:34
barely speak took it from there really
0:37
uh what inspired me to start working out
0:39
it was definitely my dad um he was
0:41
always very active when when I was
0:43
little what inspired me to start
0:45
training was um I'll definitely say
0:47
probably Jean claw vanam I was obsessed
0:50
with the film Blood Sport and all these
0:52
other martial art films being in a
0:54
relationship with somebody who works out
0:56
is helpful because um they always bring
0:59
extra quality to the table I think sort
1:01
of I'm more creative in the kitchen and
1:03
with meal planning and things like that
1:05
where um Kirk's great with the workout
1:08
we both share a a massive love for food
1:10
so um when you're sort of in a slight
1:13
state of deprivation then we kind get a
1:15
little bit rat with each other sometimes
1:17
but it never uh outweighs the good so
1:20
advice for other fit couples um I'd say
1:23
healthy level of competition is great
1:25
but remember you're on the same team um
1:28
always support and encourage each other
1:30
uh who has the best abs I've got to be
1:32
honest when um Abby stage ripped I mean
1:37
I've never seen ABS on a on a woman like
1:39
it they're insane yes me and C do train
1:41
together sometimes it is hard because we
1:44
live um quite far apart in different
1:46
cities but um it's a nice treat when we
1:48
do get to train together does get pretty
1:50
intense um if I'm honest I'm a bit of a
1:52
drill sergeant with Abby U probably cuz
1:54
I know she can train so hard and
1:56
obviously it's my girlfriend so I like
1:57
to make sure she's in a bit of pain when
1:59
we train this is an unusual abs workout
2:02
with Kurt Miller and Abby pal who
2:10
wins the first exercise I'm going to do
2:13
today is the ab roll out basically you
2:16
roll out the Ab Roller in front of you
2:19
keeping your core nice and tight
2:20
throughout push it out to your absolute
2:22
sort of Maximum stretch and then pull it
2:24
back in the first exercise I'm going to
2:26
take you through is the Russian Med ball
2:27
twist with a crunch uh the reason this
2:30
from your standard rushan twist is the
2:31
rushan twist just focuses on just your
2:33
obliques whereas this exercise will hit
2:35
every section of your abs as you're
2:36
incorporating a crunch within the
2:37
movement so the key with this exercise
2:40
is to keep your lower ups and core
2:41
contracted throughout the whole
2:43
movement the next one is the reverse
2:46
rowing machine tuck place your hands in
2:49
front of you and your feet on the seat
2:51
of the rowing machine instead of in a
2:53
tuck position stretch your legs out sort
2:56
of to full full range of movement behind
2:58
you until you sort of feel a full
3:00
stretch out throughout your abs and then
3:02
pull them back in the next exercise is
3:04
the paloff Press uh the reason this is
3:06
unusual is you're not actually
3:07
performing a crunch the whole thing is
3:09
an isometric contraction just really
3:10
focus on your breathing throughout the
3:12
whole exercise the most important thing
3:14
with this is make sure your body doesn't
3:15
twist as you're extending your arms out
3:17
and bringing your arms back
3:19
in the next one is the ghd situp it's
3:23
got nothing to do with hair
3:24
straighteners it's actually a CrossFit
3:26
machine which you hook your feet into
3:29
and it allows you to lean all the way
3:31
back giving you a really really nice
3:32
range of movement pulling yourself all
3:34
the way up touching your toes at the top
3:37
it's a great variation on the
3:39
situp the next exercise is a leg raise
3:42
around the world um hanging from a bar
3:44
keeping your legs straight take your
3:45
legs full circle one way and then take
3:48
them back good luck it's
3:51
brutal the medicine ball AB smash not
3:54
for the faint-hearted you lay on the
3:56
floor keeping your abs nice and tight
3:58
remembering to bre breathe um while
4:01
somebody else bounces a medicine ball
4:04
stomach the next exercise is the reverse
4:07
cable crunch hooking your feet into the
4:09
cable handles engage your lower abs and
4:11
core before you start bring your knees
4:13
towards your chest most important thing
4:15
is the moment your lower back comes off
4:17
the floor that's when you push
4:18
powerfully up through your pelvic floor
4:19
and your lower abs and really make sure
4:21
that you you you breathe out as you
4:23
contract at the top of the movement and
4:24
then slowly lower down
