Ab Ripper X is an advanced and very intense workout that covers the upper, lower and oblique abdominal muscles.
Here’s a quick rundown of the entire sequence:
- In & Out
- Seated Bicycle
- Seated Crunchy Frog
- Wide Leg Sit-ups
- Fifer Scissor
- Hip Rock n’ Raise
- Pulse Up
- Roll-up/V-up Combo
- Oblique V-up
- Leg Climb
- Mason Twist
If you’re new to P90X, chances are you will not be able to complete this sequence.
When I first started P90X, I used the P90X Ab Ripper X Alternative routine below for the first couple of weeks. I kept the Ab Ripper X video rolling to help me with timing and motivation. I think it helps to have an alternative sequence and follow it rather than make something up as you go along.
- Standard Crunch
- Bicycle – Elbows to Knee twist
- Leg Lift – Lay on your back and keep your legs lifted 6″ off the floor
- Side Crunch (left and right) – Lay on your side and do crunches toward the ceiling
- Reverse Leg Scissors- Lay on your back again and scissor your legs to 90 degrees one at at time
- Vertical Leg Crunch – Put both legs straight up in the air and do crunches. You can bend your knees if it gets too intense or you have back pain.
- Plank – Lay flat on your stomach and put your elbows on the floor under your chest. Lift your legs and butt off the floor like you are doing a sit up and hold.
- Rinse and repeat
