Day 2! This ab challenge works pretty much every part of your abs–upper, lower, and trans-abdominals, plus obliques–as well as your legs. And ohhh my does it burn! Thankfully it goes by fast, so the torture level is not too high.

There aren’t any modifications for this move, but it isn’t particularly hard to do, and the explanation for how to do it is really clear, so you won’t have trouble learning it. As a result, I’d say this workout is fairly beginner friendly, but only if you’re really ready to push yourself hard. I don’t recommend you make this the first ab workout you ever do, but if you’ve done some of Cassey’s other videos you should be ready to tackle this one.

However, they do go at a really fast pace, so it might be hard for beginners to keep up. If you don’t think you can do 100 in a row at this pace, just go at your own pace to the end of the video without aiming for 100. Just be ready to feel your abs burning either way!
