Have you heard the song “Baby Shark”?
If you haven’t, count your blessings. If you have, you’re a parent just like myself, and I’m sorry you’ve been subjected to the worst kid’s song of all time.
I’d link out to the song for those people not in the know, but you’re going to hear the song throughout this workout video – and it sucks – so the fewer times you listen to it, the better. Trust me.
At least the song is now being put to good use.
First, someone created an exercise program for kids based on the song, to get their fat little asses up and moving.
That workout and a night of heavy drinking led to Jessie from Athlean X to try the “Baby Shark Ab Challenge” for 30 days.
Here’s how it went down.
“There are ab workouts and then there are ridiculous ab workouts. In this video, Jesse shows what happened when he followed the “Baby Shark Ab Workout” for 30 days.
This was the result of losing a bet with his buddies. Given that he works for a fitness company, they thought it would be funny if he followed this sequence of ab exercises as his punishment.
The catch is, he didn’t wind up losing after all. In fact, after 30 days of doing this bodyweight ab routine Jesse had an even better looking set of 8 pack abs than before.
The Baby Shark Ab Workout is something that was created for kids as a way to get them exercising. The problem is, it is certainly not easy.
Utilizing some serious time under tension and a sequence of floor based v-sit ab exercises, it takes the user through a series of 8 moves without rest.”
Watch the video and stick around for a rundown of everything Jessie did during the routine.
The song is stuck in your head, isn’t it? You were warned.
Here’s the Baby Shark Ab Workout to try for yourself.
