Janet Layug's Total Core Workout & Winning Ab Routine

They say abs are made in the kitchen, but the right exercises help sculpt them in the gym. For many people ab exercises can be an afterthought, throw in at the end of the work out with little rhyme or reason for the exercises selected. Fortunately, those days are over now that MS Bikini Olympia Champion and Cellucor athlete Janet Layug showed us her winning ab routine. Janet’s ab routine targets the core from all angles to help you sculpt the abs you’ve always wanted.
