Short on Time? Your 6-Minute Ab Workout

You’ve tried plain old planks and every crunch variation there is. And yet, those extra inches around your midsection just won’t give. You’ll be relieved to hear the answer isn’t more reps on reps on reps. In fact, according to celebrity trainer Brett Hoebel, it’s got to be deeper than that. “If you really want to be in it for the long haul, you’ve got to find something that connects with you more profoundly than the skinny jeans,” says Hoebel, trainer on season 11 of NBC’s The Biggest Loser.

In his new book The 20-Minute Body, Hoebel has glute workouts, ab exercises and full-body HIIT workouts for days. But his signature short and sweet routines can’t exist in a vacuum, he says. For success that lasts, a shift in eating habits and mentality has to happen, too. DailyBurn hit the gym with the California trainer to talk diet, setbacks and what he calls “sweating with soul.” Get moving with his six-minute ab workout below, and read on for his essential health and fitness tips to keep you in it for the long run.
