To get the most out of this 10-minute abs workout, keep your core tight the entire time. Don't totally relax your muscles during any of the exercises save that for the rest period.

V-Up
How to: Lie faceup on the floor with your legs and arms straight. In one movement, lift your torso and legs as if you're trying to touch your toes. Lower your body back down. That's one rep. Perform as many reps as possible in 45 seconds, then rest 15 seconds.
Reverse Crunch
How to: Lie on the floor with your legs up and slightly bent, hands at your sides with palms faced down. Brace your torso by contracting your abs. Lift your hips up, hold for a second, then release down to the start position, keeping your legs in the air. That’s one rep. Perform as many reps as possible in 45 seconds, then rest 15 seconds.
Around The World
How to: Lie on your back with your legs extended straight up into the air. Engage your core and draw a circle, to the right, with your legs. Continue for 45 seconds, with 15 seconds of rest.
Repeat on the left side for 45 seconds, followed by 15 seconds of rest.
Plank-Up
How to: Place your forearms on the floor, elbows under your shoulders, and extend your legs behind you. Keeping your back flat, straighten your right arm and place your palm flat on the floor, directly under your shoulder, then repeat with your left arm so you're in a pushup position. Reverse the movement, lowering back onto your right forearm and then onto your left, to return to start. That's one rep. Perform as many reps as possible in 45 seconds. Take one minute of rest before repeating the circuit again from the top.
