15 Min UPPPER ABS WORKOUT at Home | No Equipment | Caroline Girvan

This 15 minute abs workout will target the abdominal muscles and help strengthen the overall core with focus on the upper abdominal muscles.
The rectus abdominis muscle runs down the centre of your torso from your sternum down to your pubic bone. When you work these muscles, they contract and all gear towards having visible abs when combined with a body fat percentage that allows visibility.
However they have many important roles in our body such as flexion of our lumbar spine, postural support and tilting of the pelvis.
Most of these exercises involves movements involving bring the chest towards the pelvis.
If these movements cause any strain to the neck, you cause claps hands behind head to provide support. Also try slowing it down a lot, lifting with solely the abdominal muscles to allow the head, neck and upper back to rise as one.
This follow along workout consists of the following exercises which are performed once and for 50 seconds each followed with 10 seconds rest in between each set to get ready for next exercise.
BUTTERFLY CRUNCH
TOE REACH
ARMS LOCKED CRUNCH
KNEES TO ELBOW CRUNCH
TABLE TOP SWEEPS
HEEL REACHES
CROSS ARM SIT UP
SINGLE LEG TOE REACH
SINGLE LEG TOE REACH
TABLE TOP CRUNCH TO TOE REACH
SIDE TO SIDE ELBOW CRUNCH
CRUNCH 3 POINT REACH
HANDS BEHIND HEAD PULSES
PLANK 2 minutes!!
Please ensure you warm for prior to this workout and stop immediately if feeling strain in neck or any dizziness.
Ensure your ensure mid section is level on same surface ie. mat.
Take each movement slowly and exhale on the lifting part of the movement.
I hope you enjoy!

Her workouts,music,clothing ,positive attitude and smile are the reasons for her growth and that we love and admire her 🔥💪❤️.

[@centiaking1160]

True she is a whole motivation. 🔥🔥🔥

[@CarolineGirvan]

Thank you Kaushik! You have been training consistently with me for a while now and I hope you have came along way from when you started! Thank you for joining me!👊🏼💓

[@kaushikshandilya2787]

@@CarolineGirvan Absolutely while doing your workouts I discovered things which I could perform and it has enhanced my skills ❤️.It's an honour to do your workouts 🔥❤️.

[@alinamesquita]

Kaushik Shandilya that’s what i love about her workouts, i’m always discovering new thighs i thought i couldn’t do 😂

[@thoughtsoftheheart]

I totally agree! And don't forget about the new flowers 🥰

[@davenewhouse1708]

I DID 2 MINUTES! FIRST TIME! Great workout! Thank you, Caroline, for helping is through this stay-at-home isolation!

[@CarolineGirvan]

Wow Dave! Way to go!! Now if you ever see a plank hold for even a minute during a workout it’ll seem so much easier!! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@SatGavFitness]

I've said this before but I absolutely love the colour coordination, so unique!

[@phoebeyu2566]

I did this workout today and I absolutely loved it!!! I could only plank for 1 min so I substituted the second half with side planks. This is officially my favorite ab workout on KZbin!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@CarolineGirvan]

Excellent Phoebe!! Enjoy incorporating this into your training!! Good to keep that plank in too!!😉👊🏼💓

[@susanholl5994]

These have gotten so much easier. Also happy to see my abs again after 3 kids and a little slacking in the ab exercise department. Thanks for yet another great video. I do whatever is posted every day.

[@CarolineGirvan]

Excellent Susan!!! Now that they are easier try lifting even higher!!!! 😉👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@Jen-il3cd]

Best in the business, I couldn’t be without these 💜💜💜

[@anjimim]

I haven’t been able to do these with you before but I’ve started now. Thank you so much. Love the fact that they’re ‘bite-sized’ so I can fit them in to my day when I can 👯👯 ‘

[@elitedragon2732]

I totally agree with everyone with your passion toward everything you do for us 🐉

[@jodyrozin9220]

Fabulous. Every single time I do one of your workouts I learn something ... and today about my body. I have pretty severe scoliosis so I tend to be stronger on one side. Those crunch pulses really accentuate that and will help me strengthen left side. Thank you. Also the education you do in your descriptions is so helpful. So not only are your workouts effective, and engaging, they are also educational and therapeutic.

[@CarolineGirvan]

Aw brilliant Jody. Yes sometimes exercise and movements can highlight things we didn’t even know about our body. It’s good to be aware of it when moving so you can be that little bit more aware of keeping straight etc cx

[@centiaking1160]

Love the color beautiful❤️Evening workout I'm doing this. Thank you🥰🥰🥰 for your consistency and positive energy.

[@stardollLover566930]

Ab workouts have always intimidated me but I absolutely loved today's workouts!

[@LauraGonzalez-tz7ux]

Your abs are perfect!! Thank you so much!!

[@tovameguira6381]

I love your abs workouts!! And 15 is the perfect time for after a run or to add to some cardio!! ♥️🔥

[@CarolineGirvan]

Brilliant Tova!! 💓💓

[@claudiami2175]

I always enjoy my daily dose of Caroline Girvan exercise. Thank you Caroline!

[@KellyLS]

My abs were burning on the second move and on! I have to say I really appreciate the relaxed pace on these ab moves! So often when an exercises are done quickly form eventually suffers for me. I find when I perform the moves slower like this I can really focus on contracting and breathing which seems to make them more effective than when I do them quicker. Thanks so much!

[@agalsphones5376]

hello Caroline..thank you..your workout brings a smile on my face post my workout with you.thanks buddy

[@melinda5610]

This has got to be my favorite upper ab workout. I've done it several times and love it just as much each time. Perfect for my add-on for Epic Heat Day 45 dumbbell HIIT.🥰

Another great workout! Posted at the perfect time. Did it right after yesterday's tricep one. Caroline you are amazing and I love doing these workouts. Suggestion: another stretch and strength workout would be great. I love the one you did a few months ago and I do that one weekly.

[@CarolineGirvan]

[@CarolineGirvan]

Absolutely Sofia! I will definitely be doing more series coming soon!! And I’ll look into a neck friendly ab workout! 💓

[@nathalie1343]

Caroline, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
