Alexis Ren’s 10-Minute Ab Workout Has 46 Million Views, So I Tried It Out

Alexis Ren is a model, dancer, and wellness entrepreneur, so when I stumbled upon her 10-minute ab workout on YouTube, I knew what I was going be doing the next day. In the video description, Ren said she tries to do this workout every morning. “It’s quick, to the point, and you’ll feel it the next day,” she wrote. Coupled with the fact that the video, posted in 2018, has over 46 million views (!) and thousands of very positive comments, it seemed like a no-brainer to try it out for myself.

This is one of those workouts that had me checking how much time was left after, I kid you not, two minutes. The first half of the workout is done on your back (crunches, bicycle crunches, flutter kicks), and it would honestly be enough for a good workout on its own, but then you flip over and do another five minutes from a plank position, just to make sure your abs are really sore for the rest of the day. Ren was on “Dancing With the Stars” in 2018, and I remember being impressed by her fitness then; now I know that it comes from challenging, no-rest workouts like this one. Check out the video above, and see the full list of exercises below!
