The No Excuse Workout
We want to change things up every now and then, so there are two main
workouts you’ll perform – we’ll call them “Workout A” and “Workout B”. Here are
the workout sequences below.
Workout A
Push Up (max reps)
Squat (max reps, 40 max)
Body Row (max reps)
Tuck Jump (max reps, 40 max)
Plank (max reps)
Workout B
Body Row (max reps)
Lunges (max reps, 40 max)
Twisting Push Up (max reps)
Star Jump (max reps, 40 max)
Plank (max reps)
The workouts will alternate every other day (A, B, A) and then flip the next week
(B, A, B). While the schedule has them set for a Monday, Wednesday, Friday
routine, you can certainly be rebellious and aim for a Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday schedule if that fits into your personal schedule a little better.

Push Up
Position yourself on the ground so that your palms and balls of the feet are in
contact with the ground. Your arms are extended and your back is straight so
that your shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles are in line. Bend your arms bringing
your chest to the ground while maintaining a straight back and keeping your
elbows close to the body. Extend the arms and return to the starting position to
complete the repetition.
video demonstration
Squat
Stand with your feet about shoulders width apart and your toes turned out
approximately 30 degrees. Keep your shoulders back and your chest high to
maintain good spinal alignment. Bend at the hips and knees as if you were going
to sit in a chair. Descend to the bottom of the squat position until your hip crease
is below your knees. Push through the heels and return to the full standing
position to complete the repetition.
video demonstration
Body Row
Hang on to a contact point that is approximately armpit height. This may be a
low bar, a towel or rope hanging from a pull up bar, a set of rings, or any other
sturdy contact point. Extend the arms, walk the feet forward and raise the hips
so that the shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles are in line (bottom of the
movement). Pull with the arms while keeping the hips ups bringing your chest as

Tuck Jump
Extend your arms out in front of you to use as a target height. As you jump, you’ll
bring your knees up high towards your elbows. You want to have your knees hit
your elbows which you should have out in front of you as a target point. As you
come down, try to land softly on the balls of your feet. Repeat that movement for
the designated amount of repetitions.
video demonstration
Lunges
Start in a standing position with the feet together and the hands on the
hips. Step forward with one foot and bend both knees until the rear knee just
touches the floor. The depth of the step should be so that the shin of the lead leg
is about perpendicular to the ground at the bottom of the movement. Push
through the lead heel and return to the starting position. Repeat with the
opposite side.
video demonstration
Twisting Push Up
The twisting push up begins as a normal push up. However, as you reach the top
of the movement, you’ll rotate your body to the right and extend your right arm
upward as your left arm holds the extended push up position. Bring your right
arm down to complete the movement. That is one repetition. Alternate this
movement on each side of your body.
video demonstration
Star Jump
You’ll start in a position very similar to a jumping jack. Your feet should be a little
wider-set than shoulder-width and your hands should be locked behind your
head with your elbows pointed out. Your body at this point should look like a 5
point star.

The No Excuse Workout
To start the movement, you’re going to bring your feet together and bring your
elbows to your knees. To finish the movement, jump back out to the starting
position. In a sense, this is almost like a full-body jumping jack.
video demonstration
Plank
Position yourself on the ground so that your forearms and balls of the feet are in
contact with the ground. Your elbows should be directly under your shoulders
and your back kept straight so that your shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles are in
line. Hold this position for as long as possible while consciously drawing your
belly button towards your sternum. To increase the difficulty, raise one leg or
extend one arm.

Nutrition Framework
Nutrition plays a huge part of any fitness protocol.
If you’re focused on losing fat, there’s nothing more effective than a low-carb
approach to nutrition. There’s quite a few reasons why, but simply put, most
people simply do not need the large amount of carbohydrates that are found in
the modern American diets.
An easy nutrition framework to understand that follows this protocol is the paleo
diet. The 30,000 foot overview of the paleo diet is this:
Eat
Vegetables, Meat, and Eggs With Limited Quantities of Fruits & Nuts.
Don’t Eat
Grains, Dairy, Processed Foods & Sugar.
You can find more information and resources on the paleo diet on this website
we’ve put together just for this purpose.

Note that breakfast is often optional. Especially if your goals are weight loss focused,
feel free to skip it altogether. If you need something to help you start the morning, try
black coffee or tea. And, don’t be afraid of caffeine in either drink – it’s incredibly
beneficial for fat loss.

excuses and get six pack abs (or just a flat stomach if that’s your goal). A short
and inconclusive description of the program includes a nutritional blueprint to get
you to your goals as well as a workout blueprint, dozens of videos resources and
audio interviews with an array of fitness and fat loss experts.

but regardless of your starting point, we’ve seen amazing results . Here are just a
few real stories of people who’ve gone through Impossible Abs and seen
incredible results.

without work. Make no mistake - Impossible Abs is hard, but we give it to you
straight. That’s why the unofficial motto of Impossible Abs is No B.S. No
Excuses. Just Results.
