This quick leg and ab workout is perfect to get slimmer legs and a toned tummy.
This Leg and Ab Workout targets the legs and lower abs. It also helps develop strength while burning fat.
It’s my go-to core workout lately because it also helps target the legs and thighs, too.
I like training the legs and abs together because they’re the two largest muscle groups in the body.
When you train the legs and core together, you maximize calorie burn and can get results faster.
I also like training the legs with abs because the legs are heavy and make a great counterweight.
Doing core exercises that utilize leg movements also allow you to target the lower abs more effectively, using leg weight to increase resistance.
This helps target lower belly pooch and helps flatten out the tummy area more.
WOO! That’s what most women want and why I designed this workout to do.
See me explain more and demo the workout in today’s episode of CCtv.
LEG AND AB WORKOUT
LEG AND AB EXERCISES
Single Leg Bridge
Lie on your back with your knees bent. Lift one leg up. This is your start position. Lift your hips up until your body is in a straight line. Keep your hips level. Slowly lower back down to the start position to complete one rep. Complete the same number of reps with your other leg to complete one set.
Toe Tap Crunch
Start laying on your back with your hands on your head and your elbows out and down to the side. Lift your elbows up as you lift your legs up.

A side plank is your start position. Lower your hip down to the floor, then immediately lift your hip back up to the start position.

Hi! How many calories would you say this burns? I’m using an app to track my eating and exercise and I want to add it in. It’s great! Thank you for this.
Calorie burn depends on your height, weight, and effort used so it’s impossible to tell you.
