Ab Assassin (23:42)

This workout focuses on the abdominals and core.

Equipment: a set of light dumbbells, a mat. Water and a towel are recommended.

Warm Up (2:00): deep breaths with overhead reach, twisting knees, alternating squat w/ knee up.

Main Workout (19:02)

The main workout is divided into 3 rounds. A round consists of 4 exercises that are repeated twice through. The second time through you are often doing the exercise on the other lead. Each exercise is for 30 seconds so it's however many repetitions you can complete in the allotted time.

Round 1 : ab slam, Kimura crunch, jack knife, roll up.

Round 2 : guard sit-up, outside ankle touch, plough leg lift, oblique slam.

Round 3 : sit-up/dumbbell pass, kneeling oblique crunch, windshield wipers, oblique butterfly slam.

Stretch (2:40): supermans, laying overhead extension, cat/cow, cobra, child's pose.

Overall Impression: This was a great core workout without the usual crunches or sit ups. I really liked the MMA twist on all the moves. As presented by Mike I'd say this is an intermediate to low advanced core workout. If following the modifier beginners will get a great workout too.
