5 Minute Rock Hard Abs Home Workout
No Equipment Follow Along Abs Workout At Home
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I have a treat for you as I’m sharing my 5 minute Rock Hard Abs home workout.
This Rock Hard Abs routine is just one portion of the full “Main Event” workout, found in my best selling Live Lean Meltdown follow along workout video program.
Remember, to unleash those six pack abs, you first need to get rid of that layer of belly fat.
That’s what these Live Lean Meltdown workouts will help you do.

Since it’s about to get way to hot in here, take off your shirt, and let the meltdown begin.
It’s time to hit your core.
Let’s go.
Welcome To The 5 Minute Rock Hard Abs Home Workout
Here’s how this 5 minute rock hard abs home workout is structured.
If you’re following the full Live Lean Lean “Main Event” workout from the beginning, the Rock Hard Abs workout is the 4th of 5 workout segments.
The workout segment before the Rock Hard Abs workout segment is called “Lean Body Agility”.
The Lean Body Agility workout circuit includes fast feet, burpee push ups, and many other fat burning cardio exercises.
Combine those fat burning cardio exercises with the core strengthening abs exercises found in this Rock Hard Abs circuit, and you’re set.
By the time you get to this Rock Hard Abs portion of the “Main Event” workout, you should already be feeling it.
Total Time:
5 minutes.
Type Of Workout:
The Rock Hard Abs home workout consists of 5 different abs exercises, which will be completed in circuit format.
When it comes to working your abs, crunches can help, however your entire abs workout program should not just consist of crunches.
You also have to work in stability abs exercises, like you’re about to do during this rock hard abs home workout.
Rock Hard Abs Home Workout Exercises
Click the links below for a step-by-step exercise demonstration of each exercise.
A1. V-Up
Reps: 30 seconds
Rest: 30 seconds
Sets: 1
Tempo: 1012
Coaching cues: The first abs exercise is the v-up. Get down on the floor and fully extend your body. Then raise your upper body and legs to form the letter V. Hold that for 2 seconds, while keeping your core tight and engaged as much as possible. Your core should be good and flexed, as if someone was about to drop a rock on it. Reverse the movement back down to the floor and repeat for 30 seconds. Once you’re ready, let’s go. Solid work.
A2. Side To Side Knee Tucks (i.e. Knee Ins)
Reps: 30 seconds
Rest: 0 seconds
Sets: 1
Tempo: 1010
Coaching cues: Stay down on the ground as the next abs exercise are knee ins. The movement starts by driving your knees in to the center, then drive them back out. Then drive your knees in to the right, then back out and to the center. Finally drive your knees in to the left, then back and out to the center again. Focus on keeping your knees together, with your back flat, and core as engaged as possible. In other words, as hard as a rock. Repeat for 30 seconds of all out effort. That’s all you need. Let’s go.
A3. Bicycle Crunch (i.e. Bicycle Abs)
Reps: 30 seconds
Rest: 30 seconds
Sets: 1

Tempo: 1012
Coaching Cues: We’re now going to do the bicycle crunch, i.e. bicycle abs. Lie down on your back, with your hands behind your ears, rather than placing them behind your head. This will stop you from pulling on your neck. Bring one elbow to the opposite knee and hold for 2 seconds. Then reverse the movement and repeat with the opposite elbow and knee. Remember the analogy of dropping a rock on your stomach. When you keep your abs tight, that rock should shatter. Also make sure you’re breathing. The stronger the exhale, the stronger the contraction you’ll have in your core. This will help you pull in your abs for a leaner and stronger appearance. Let’s go.
A4. The Breakdancer
Reps: 30 seconds
Rest: 30 seconds
Sets: 1
Tempo: 1010
Coaching Cues: We’re almost done with this Rock Hard Abs home workout. Next up is an abs exercise that I call the breakdancer. Get down into a straight arm plank position, with your hands directly below your shoulders.
To complete the breakdancer move, take your right leg and extend it across and to the side of your body, keeping your back flat. Reverse the movement back to the starting position, then repeat with the opposite leg. This movement really engages your obliques to sculpt an overall strong core and a full set of rock hard abs. Complete for 30 seconds, while making sure you are breathing, with your core contracted throughout the set.
If you need to take a break before the 30 seconds is up, stop, take 2 seconds to breathe, then get back into it and keep going. Let’s go. Good job. The final meltdown is coming up next.
The Final Meltdown
A5. Mountain Climbers
Reps: 60 seconds
Rest: 0 seconds
Sets: 1
Tempo: N/A
Coaching cues: For the “Final Meltdown” we are doing mountain climbers for a full 60 seconds. You have 60 seconds left in you, right? But first, go get a drink of water. Staying hydrated is so important when you’re doing these type of exercises. Get into a straight arm plank position, with your hands below your shoulders. Keep your back flat, drive your knees in, and keep your core as tight as possible. Let’s work the lower abs. If you notice your lower back is getting tired, stop and take a quick break, then keep going as fast as you can. You’re almost done, so keep pushing.
