Joe Manganiello's core workout
Manganiello’s go-to abs routine is short
but very sharp. It targets every muscle group around your abs, no time wasted.
Do all four moves with no rest, then break for 1min before starting again. Do
three circuits in total, even if you have to claw your way to the finish.
Leg Raise – 15 reps
Grab a chin-up bar using a
shoulder-width grip and hang underneath with both arms fully extended. Hang
your legs straight down and roll your pelvis back slightly. Exhale as you raise
your legs until they make a 90-degree angle with your torso. Hold the
contraction for a second before slowly returning to the starting position as
you breathe in.
Barbell hip-thrust – 20 reps
Sit
on the ground with your back to the side of a bench. Hold a loaded barbell over
your legs and roll the bar so that it is directly above your hips. Lean back
against the bench so that your shoulder blades are near the top. Drive through
your feet and your hips vertically through the bar. Support your weight through
your shoulder blades and feet. Extend as far as possible, then reverse the
motion.
Climber – 25 reps
Get
into the push-up position with your hands on top of a bench and feet on the
floor. Set your hands at shoulder-width directly beneath your shoulders and
fully extend your arms. Brace your core and drive one knee to the mid-line of
your body. Reverse the motion and step the foot back to the starting position.
Repeat with the opposite leg.
Crunch – 30 reps
Lie
down on the floor with your knees bent and, if possible, hook your feet under
something that will prevent them from moving. Place your hands behind your head
and tense your core as you lift your torso up so your upper body forms a V
shape with your thighs. Lower under control back to the start position
