To progress, add a rep each set until you get to 15 then go up a weight and back to ten reps.

WHY IT WORKS

This workout involves three supersets, which are pairs of exercises done back to back without rest. The first superset works your chest, back and core. The second superset works your abs in a standing position while the third also targets your abs, this time from a horizontal position. The result is a high heart rate, which will help you burn fat, and bigger, stronger abs muscles.
