WELC O M E
You don’t have to be a member of a gym to get the amazing results
you want. We are all busy and at times exercising and going to a
gym takes too much time and can be at the bottom of the priority
list. This is exactly why I have created this e-book providing you with
the best tips to get shredded abs fast. I am going to show a series
of exercises that you can do without the use of any equipment with
full descriptions, pictures and tips to ensure you hit perfect form with
every rep. I am also going to take you through a series of ready-made
workouts that I have personally taken my clients through so I know
they work.

Yours in Health and Fitness,

important to not only your overall health

to train longer and harder.

A very significant point to mention in this


fat burning process is the importance of
CONSISTENCY. Rome was not built in a
day. When you’re trying to get ripped abs
be patient and stay consistent. It’s the
sum of small efforts day in and day out
that will get you to where you want to be.
Remember: “It doesn’t matter if you fall off
the horse all that matters is you get back
on”. If you have a few slip ups here and
there don’t beat yourself up it means your
HUMAN. Get straight back on track and
never lose track of your goals

WORKOUT 1
Start this circuit off with some reverse
crunches.
Like in the picture start with your back flat on the floor and reverse your knees into your
chest making sure you squeeze then release them back out straight again. During this
movement it is vital to try and not let your heals touch the ground. Now immediately with
no rest go straight into V – sit ups. Aim to have your legs straight in the air and sit up as
high as you can to your toes then straight back down again. The higher you come up the
more you will feel this exercise. Now without any rest complete a 30 second plank making
sure you keep your body flat with your core engaged the entire time. Make sure you keep
your breathing controlled through-out and aim to hold for 30 a second count.

WORKOUT 2
Now start off this circuit with bicycle crunches
making sure you cross your opposite elbow to
your opposite knee and ensuring your other
leg is straight at the bottom.
Then immediately go straight into jack knifes when you focus on having your legs straight
and your back flat. You bring your legs high like in the picture then down and in front nice
and straight then repeat the movement. Now immediately with no rest go straight into
V – sit ups. Aim to have your legs straight in the air and sit up as high as you can to your
toes then straight back down again. The higher you come up the more you will feel this
exercise. Repeat this circuit again and complete 5 sets all up.

WORKOUT 3
Start this circuit off with Kettle Bell Straight
Arm Sit Ups. Begin by having the weight
behind your head with your arms STRAIGHT.
You then aim to complete a normal sit up with your arms straight the entire time. If you
have to bend your arms at all the weight is too heavy. Once you’re at the top then lower
back down in control keeping your core engaged through-out the movement. Then with
no rest go immediately into Kettle Bell Russian Oblique Twists moving the weight side to
side.

Always make sure you lean back to feel the exercise more and always aim to touch the
weight on the ground so you get the full range of movement. Then go straight into a 60
second plank aiming to be straight the entire time whilst also keeping your core engaged
through-out.

WORKOUT 4
Start this circuit off with Kettle Bell Straight
Arm Sit Ups.
Like in the previous workout you start by having the weight behind your head with
STRAIGHT arms. You then aim to complete a normal sit up with your arms straight the
entire time. If you have to bend your arms at all the weight is too heavy. Then with no rest
go immediately into bicycle crunches aiming to have your leg straight at the completion of
each rep like in the picture. Both sides = 1 rep. Then go straight into weighted V sit ups.
Choose a light weight that you’re comfortable with and start by putting your feet in the air
nice and straight.

The aim is to sit up to your toes with the weight behind your head to meet your feet at
the top then lower back down in full control with your arms and legs straight the entire
time. The key is to not let your feet or hands hit the ground at the bottom as you then lose
tension on your core.

Keep repeating the movement until you have completed 20 reps all up. The last
movement is a side plank now focusing more on your obliques. Aim to have your hips
high and hold for 30 seconds each side.

WORKOUT 5
This last circuit we are going to combine all
the exercises we have learnt so far in this
e-book.
Let’s start off with bicycle crunches again making sure you move your opposite elbow
to opposite knee and also making sure the bottom leg is straight. Then with no rest go
immediately into V-sit ups making sure you sit up nice and high to your toes aiming for a
full range of movement. Then go straight into a reverse crunch making sure you don’t rest
in between exercise – this is VITAL.

The key with the reverse crunches is to squeeze your knees into your chest at the top
before you then release your legs back out. Make sure you don’t let your heals touch the
ground on the way down.

Continue on the circuit now moving onto Kettle bell straight arm sit ups. You start by
having the weight behind your head. You then aim to complete a normal sit up keeping
your arms straight and your core under tension before lowering back down again in full
control. Then with no rest go immediately into Kettle Bell Russian oblique twists moving
the weight side to side. Always make sure you lean back to feel the exercise more and
always aim to touch the weight on the ground to get the full range of movement. Now
without any rest go straight into a 60 second plank aiming to keep your back flat and your
core engaged the entire time.

All those exercises in a row = 1 round. Aim to complete 5 rounds as fast whilst still
keeping good, quality form through-out. HAVE FUN!
