I just did this for the first time and I could do the Halo's and the Reverse Corkscrews pretty well. The Pendulum Plank Reachouts I had to do in two sets of 30 seconds, same with the Chainsaws, and then I took a minute or so of rest to do the Sit Up Rollouts. I timed the workout and it took me about 10 minutes to complete including rest. As someone who experiences quite a bit of lower back pain, my goal is to complete this in 6 minutes including rest. It's nice that I can do this at home besides my couple weekly gym workouts.
Edit: I think I've done it about 4 or 5 times now and I was able to complete the routine in 6 minutes and 40 seconds now.

Jeff: Does the whole workout with perfect form and little rest, while speaking the whole time.
Me:
- Tries doing Halos and does erratic movements instead of circles.
- While doing Reverse Corkscrews sprains a triceps.
- Tries the Plank with Pendulum (without arm reachouts) and can't do even 10 seconds. Then tries a normal plank and cuts the elbow on the hard floor, tries again with a rag under them, does only 50 seconds.
- Tries Chainsaws but abs are so tired that even raising the hips is impossible.
- Can't do sit-ups for 60 seconds.

Great content, as all Jeff-s videos are. I have to disagree with him that most people are weak from the bottom. Most people are weak from the top of the ab complex. This is a common source of dysfunction through the chain as the hip flexors overwhelm the abs. This is why so many people hook their feet under something to do sit ups, because they are then able to use their hip flexors to do the movement vs. the abs.
Great content and thank you Jeff for all that you do for the fitness community and to educate people across the globe!

If Jeff was Master Shifu.
Me: Jeff, I have no core strength. Where do I begin?
Jeff: Great! Here is the ab workout I recommend for beginners.
Me: Yeah, I was thinking something a little less hard.
Jeff: No, this is Level 1. It's where everyone begins.
Me: I was thinking something closer to Level 0.
Jeff: There is no Level 0.
Me: -Tries, and can't do 1 thing-
Jeff: Congratulations. There is now a Level 0.

really like Jeff's vids, but does anyone else find this one isn't really a -beginner's- ab workout? I don't have lower back problems, but find if I try this, my lower back starts to ache pretty quick. Since the lower abs should be worked first and then reinforce that by doing upper abs second. could we see something that focuses on strengthening lower abs before progressing to something like this workout?

This can't possibly be a true beginner's ab workout. There has to be some sort of pre- pre- beginner's to this. My stomach muscles and legs are so weak that I can't even get them up in the air let alone heave them up somehow to try a halo. Yikes. Like what type of beginner exercise is that? I felt completely discouraged by this. As a beginner with this 'beginner' workout, I want to quit already.

Exactly what I needed Jeff! So well explained & demonstrated. I'm going to begin with this right away. The ab weakness video was also an eye-opener for me & paired perfectly with this. One gives the problem, the other a good solution for beginners like me who want to begin but want to ensure that they are doing it right so they don't hurt themselves.

Love this one! Fits me perfect. I have a flat belly at 52, and looking to tone it, and this really felt good. Coupled with my job which involves walking up to and beyond 15km a day walking greyhounds, and 30 minutes high intensity rowing machine workouts each night, I can easily fit this in as well as my kettlebell workout. Thanks for this!

For a beginner ab workout I was thinking of something more along the lines of lying on your back and trying to reach a sandwich that's hanging about 20cm above your head: D For a beginner the exercises mentioned in this video are pretty intense, but I get that doing crunches over and over doesn't get you that far.

Jeff, what can I do? I cannot do a sit up with my feet anchored above like you show - even though I can do multiple sit ups when my feet are anchored under something which is incorrect form. I seem to be able to do the other exercise in this workout though they are difficult. Thanks.
