30-Day Abs Challenge
This challenge will get you a six-pack in time for summer. You can achieve this in just a few minutes each day with free online videos -- no equipment needed.
Wouldn't it be great to get firm, toned abs in 30 days? We created a challenge that'll get you a stronger core this summer. You'll not only look amazing — you'll strengthen your core which will lessen your chance of back pain. Best of all, you can achieve this in just a few minutes each day, with no equipment needed, just a few free online videos.
In our 9 essential fitness benchmarks for women and the essential benchmarks for men, experts set the 2-minute plank as the benchmark for core strength for men and women. If you can't do a 2-minute plank yet (or even a 20-second plank), don't worry! Give us just 30 days, and we'll get you there.
