This is a 21 minute stability ball ab routine led by Gunnar with a group of very fit ladies as background exercisers. Brooke is his co-lead in some of the Core Secrets workouts but in this one she shows some beginner modifications (not using dumbbells, etc) and is one of the background ladies. They work out in a nice open space. For this workout you will need one medium dumbbell and a stability ball. He moves along quickly and while it isnt rushed at all there is no wasted time inbetween exercises.

I like this workout. Its the only Core Secrets workout that I have really enjoyed (only tried a few others). I would rate it as a solid intermediate ab workout. None of the moves are really hard to get and there are no tough balancing moves on the ball. My abs are worked by the end of the workout but not screaming or really sore.

Some of the move are done on the ball and some are on the floor but incorporate the ball. Some of the moves include: a horizontal chop on the ball with a dumbbell, feet on the ball and do a crunch-then pull the ball in while doing a crunch, a ball pass move, one where you have your shins on the ball and pull the ball in as you crunch, a weighted crunch on the ball, among others.

I find this workout fun and effective and I rotate it through my rotation on a fairly regular basis.
