Swim Week Six Pack: 4-Week Ab Challenge
4 Seasons
This four-week challenge includes seven targeted ab workouts designed to be completed in order, one per day for four weeks straight. These are the ab workouts Allegra uses leading up to the runway, combining bodyweight exercises with weighted core. Allegra is a big believer in weighted ab workouts to help build lean muscle and define the abs more efficiently. You will need a medium set of dumbbells (8-12lb), most workouts will only use one.
