Wonder Woman Abs
Bodyweight Hardcore Pilates Ab Routine
Whether you favor Lynda Carter’s television classic or Gal Galdot’s big screen siren- both Wonder Women had massively impressive waistlines.
Neither one of them have been shy about saying the WORKED for it.. Lynda had a tiny waist and Gal is known for a very toned six pack- both prepared for both the outfits and the stunts.
“I row my boat on the river. I swim, ski, walk, lift weights, do yoga and Pilates. I don't want to be a weak, sick 90-year-old.”
-Lynda Carter
Did you know that Lynda has a band?
She makes cameos in movies here and there but her main passion was singing and she’s often on tour. She had to postpone her last one but plans to resume it once it’s safe again. Keep in mind she’s 69 years old- I’ve seen rockers retire in their 40s
“When I travel and I don't want to go downstairs to the hotel’s gym, I would do a lot of planks in my room," she shared. "I feel like that helps everything, especially abdominal work, but also the rest of the core muscles around it, so I'm a big fan of planks.”
-Gal Galdot
It’s no wonder she looks like that- she has a love of one of the most effective core exercises ever!
Gal was both a model and an Israeli soldier so she knows both beauty and battlefields. When she got the part of Wonder Woman and she didn’t shy away from taking Kung Fu, JuJitsu, kickboxing, capoeira, and swordsmanship to prep for the Amazonian role.
They definitely BOTH inspire me to stay to top of my ab workouts!

First up we have a big Crunch sequence that will start basic and progress into some more advanced hip and oblique work
The table top legs will really challenge your deep abs if you hold a neutral spine position. Make sure to twist from your waist by reaching your armpit to your opposite knees (not your elbow).
The straight leg positions are more advanced- use caution if you have low back hip or knee issues.
Amazon Princess Lower Abs & Obilques
This next series will fire up your lower belly’s ability to control your legs descent. remember the lower you go the harder these moves get! The open and close action will bring inner thighs into play and the side to side twists will involve lots of obliques. Neutral spine will be important here as well.
Lastly let’s heat up hips core and more obliques!
Bridges are always a good idea- not only does it tone up your bum- it can really ward off lower back pain by opening the hips and strengthening the glutes. More twisting abs will fire up your side body and this time i’m adding in some hip work. Plus plan on some chest opening reverse planks
