I can’t think of a better way to torch my non-existent six-pack abs than using an ab workout designed for Olympic gymnasts, including gold medalist and World Champion Simone Biles and bronze medalist Jordan Chiles, who both competed at the 2024 Olympics in the US team.
Chiles spoke with Popsugar back in 2021, sharing the team’s grueling weekly workout schedule and revealing that coaches Laurent Landi and Cecile Canqueteau created ab workouts for them during single-session training days.
The full ab workout is posted on Popsugar, but given its length, I decided to modify. I’d classify this as an advanced core workout, but, if you want, you can scale it to suit your ability. You don’t need equipment, though I recommend one of the best yoga mats for home workouts to support your back.
The original workout comprises 11 rounds, resting where needed. It doesn’t include a warm-up or cool-down, so a quick mobility routine beforehand and stretching afterward are recommended.
