Tony Thomas Favorite Abdominal Exercises

[wheaterfly]

does it work muscle more if you do the reps slower?

[pabanil]

I like the abdominal workout but the music is so annoying! But the workout is great!

[darkmerg21]

@DerikVEVO

thats like a super killer workout it works the abs,quadriceps, lower back and it stretches the hamstrings also helps with balance but do 25 of each crunch a day and the results are AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[kingmoreno20]

i got a question why do i only have a 4 pack well ive almost got the sixth but i cant seem to get the eight pack what excersice can i do for an eight pack

[TonythemachineThomas]

@kingmoreno20 You have to engage the core to the fullest on each rep. In addition, you have to stick to a cardio program and solid diet. If you can follow those three rules you will see that eight pack in no time. To get a head start download the full abdominal video at tonythomassports . com and stick to a 3 day a week program.

My favorite exercises

[TonythemachineThomas]

@BLAZExDEVIL40 Yeah doing cardio and then abdominals can help with fat reduction. If you want to take a substantial step towards developing those abdominals you might want to change your diet. That is the x-factor in your situation and will probably get you the fastest results. Stay Motivated! download workouts at tony thomas sports . c o m

[SurfistaCamad]

Nice video, I seem to have been neglecting my abs. I have just been doing crunches and sit ups mostly, seems like they are pretty bad excercises and can damage your back in the long term. I will try these instead now!

[TonythemachineThomas]

@SurfistaCamad You are absolutely right, some abdominal exercises do cause back problems. If you precisely follow the video download at tonythomassports. com you should not have any back issues. Try to stay within your limit during exercise to prevent injury. Stay Motivated-Tony Thomas-

[andman342]

keep in mind this is this guys job...he probably does like 3 a days. anyways, we follow a very similar excercise regimen for cage fighting. primarily the explosive/strength/endurance/c­ardio work outs. you got the build for mma man, you should try it

[ieotos]

Hey Tony do u get any lower back pain when doing these abdominal workout for the first time or recently? because i am or maybe is it because i have to keep doing it so the pain will go away?

[mrmagic221]

I need to get my abs back and basically how would u start if it was from the beginning. Its not that bad but im just curious cuz ima get my girl to do it wit me. Ima do this stuff in your video but any other tips?

[jcextra]

[Jkoification]

[aszaszas]

[NinjaLinebacker]

how many days a week do you work your abs? not this workout specifically just in general

[TonythemachineThomas]

@NinjaLinebacker I workout my abs 4 times a week, but I do this specific workout only once a week. Tony Thomas-Stay Motivated-

[CPlusPlusFreak]

Based on some of these workouts... you must have a core like a gymnast lol.. cus i do a lot of these and also some variations... keep it up!

[s900203]

Hey, can you specify the number of reps and sets you do? Thanks.

[TonythemachineThomas]

@s900203 For the Tony Thomas Favorite Abdominal Exercises Video, I do each exercise for 3 sets of 15 to 20 Reps. Tony Thomas-Stay Motivated-

[ezubik]

I just did a few of these ab exercises in my morning routine. These exercises seem to work the back just as much as the abs. Do you feel that working the back is one of the keys to getting a 6 pack? Im in Boca Raton and wondering if you do bootcamp classes on weekends or early in the morning during the week?

[TonythemachineThomas]

@ezubik Working the lower back will definitely help you develop a strong core. Superman hyperextension exercises can aid in developing a strong back. And for the question about the bootcamp, I do have a sports specific bootcamp on saturday mornings at 11. send me a private message for more details. -Stay Motivated- Tony Thomas

[FuckTheLawNiggas]

good stuff my nigga, you look like micheal johnson

[sochop26]

@FuckTheLawNiggas omg he does

[sergiotim]

cg3fmlftw man, i think u can just do something like stay in your back and try to just pull ur legs up and down just like that, that helps a lot :)

(sorry aboyt my bad english, im from Brazil =x)

[RosieItalia23]

Sometimes when I am doing the exercise where I lift one leg up, and reach with my opposite arm, my lower back really arches when I come back down. I don't have an arch when I do most of the other exercises. How can a fix this, or should I try to?

[TonythemachineThomas]

@RosieItalia23 When one is having lower back pain during abdominal exercises. I recommend Stretching those hip flexors and hamstrings!! Strengthen lower abdominals and glutes. Do pelvic tilt exercises (flattening back against the floor) and progress those exercises. -Tony Thomas- Stay Motivated

[JoydickRecords]

Whats crackin Tony? Just wondering if you think da chronic in moderation is good or bad for the training?

[cg3fmlftw]

i don;t have one of those big bouncy balls. are there any other workouts i could use in place of those?

[TonythemachineThomas]

@cg3fmlftw Try this one. Prop yourself up on the roman chair with your legs and feet together and your knees slightly bent. Slowly lift your knees up to one side as high as you can. This is done by curling your mid-section from the bottom up, not simply by lifting your knees. Squeeze your lower abs and obliques at the top of the movement for a one-count, then slowly lower and repeat on the opposite side. Tony Thomas -Stay Motivated-

[SuperVirk1]

Yo man i was wondering if these ab workouts work just as well if i do them everyday at the end of my workouts

[TonythemachineThomas]

@SuperVirk1 I would do the whole abdominal workout on a separate day. But if you are going to break it up, do 3 exercises per workout. Stay Motivated -Tony Thomas

[nighthawk8o8]

you are an inspiration. i hope more people get to see your videos! I'm a wrestler and football player and i shed lots of weight from wrestling and I'm trying to gain solid weight. Your workouts have given me results un as little as 3 weeks. thanks man!

[TonythemachineThomas]

@nighthawk8o8 Great, I always like to hear positive feedback. Keep up the good work and keep me posted on all your sport activities. I will track your progress on both ends in the weight room and on the field. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. -Stay Motivated- Tony Thomas-

[cg3fmlftw]

do you do all of these exercises in one session? or do you split it up into days?

[TonythemachineThomas]

@cg3fmlftw The great part about this workout is that you can do all of the exercises in one day and call it your abdominal workout day, or you can take a few of the exercises and spread them throught your daily workouts. -Stay Motivated- Tony Thomas-

[Clickstrong]

Thanks for the response. I am actually addicted to your heavy chest workout. I have bumped up 50 lbs on my bench in about 2 1/2 months. My goal is 315 by the end of summer. And as far as the abs exercises, i have slacked off, but i plan on going hard on my next deployment to the Phillipines... Thanks bro, this is the first time i have actually noticed a difference, and i am addicted to it... You're a beast

[TonythemachineThomas]

@Clickstrong You are just as much of a beast my friend by completing the workouts. I think you will reach that 315 goal sooner. If you run into any problems getting over the hump, I will help you. Stay Motivated and no more slacking! LOL. Keep up the good work your doing great -Tony Thomas-

[tjudy973]

Great ab exercises! I've been doing these for a few weeks now and am seeing good results compared to other ab circuits and exercises I have done.

[TonythemachineThomas]

@tjudy973 Great!!! let me know if you have any other requests for exercises. Keep up the good work and stay motivated. -Tony Thomas

[Clickstrong]

Craziest Ab workout ever. When i first started this i could only get through one exercise. going on my third week, im up to three exercises. Thanks a lot big homie. Great workout.

[TonythemachineThomas]

@Clickstrong How is that ab workout coming along now buddy. Still seeing improvements. -Stay Motivated- Tony Thomas-

HOW MANY TIMES SHOULD ONE DO ABS A WEEK

[TonythemachineThomas]

This workout should be done 2 times a week in the beginning and then increased to 3 to 4 times a week. The key is to switch the order of exercises and add a fresh exercises weekly to maintain muscle confusion. Have fun with it and pace yourself. If you need more exercises just send me a message. Thanks for the comment -Stay Motivated- Tony Thomas

[SoulfulG]

Hey Tony, I normally do abs on my cardio day (after cardio). How many variations of abs exercises should I do when working on that group of muscles? with so many different exercises, Im so unorganized and not sure what I should do more of.

[TonythemachineThomas]

Look at the video again and try to do each exercise for 3 sets of 15 to 20 reps . After your cardio this routine should be an added 30min to your workout. If this is too intense check back with me and I will give you some alternate exercises you can do to target your abdominals. Thanks for the comment. -Stay Motivated- Tony Thomas

[spidermandj3]

How many of these exercises shown do you do in one workout/ab day?

[TonythemachineThomas]

This is actually an example of one workout. I have a large list of abdominal exercises that I switch everyweek to keep my program fresh.

[natethgreat23]

hey tony you are in great physical condition but to get such a cut six pack dont you have to go on a lowfat diet

[TonythemachineThomas]

A low fat diet and carb control . Physical activity will speed up the process of actually seeing the six pack. You must train your abs the same way you train your other muscles. When you begin to get more muscle mass in the abdominal region, you will also visualy be able to see your improvements. Thanks for the comment Nate. -Tony-

[etmac1]

Young Rizzal: Do 15-20 reps at first and then move into 20-25 reps when you can! Good luck!

[YoungRizzal]

hey, Tony how many Sets and reps do you do each abs workout?

[TonythemachineThomas]

3 sets of 20 is what I do. If that becomes to easy for you I recommend going up 5 more reps every time you improve. If 20 is to difficult drop down to 15 reps and work your way up.

[nickwgarcia1]

how many times a week do you do this??

[TonythemachineThomas]

I recommend you do this 3 times a week.

[nickwgarcia1]

right on thanks man
