Popular = good? We put perhaps the biggest workout on YouTube to the test
You can run YouTube on any of the– almost any TV with an internet connection, come to that – so it’s easy to follow along with a workout in your front room.
The workout uses moves designed to hit your abdominal muscles, along with HIIT training principles: two sets of 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest, repeat. I’m a little skeptical: any time you get claims like ‘abs in X weeks’ my gut reaction is to run. But as so many people are doing the workout, I thought I’d give it a go anyway.To start with, I’m happy to say this workout really gave my core a test.
Arms also got a look in, as the workout contains several sets of ‘up and down planks’ in which you start in a push-up position, lower your arms down to a plank position, and repeat. This move can be seen around the 6:30 timestamp on the video above, training your triceps as you push yourself up, and your biceps if you lower yourself slowly, under control. It’ll also hit your deltoids, or shoulder muscles.
If an individual follows this routine for two weeks, and doesn’t get the results advertised, it may contribute to unhealthy issues around body image. Suspect social media 'fitness hacks' and advertisements telling their target audience to get 'beach body ready' face similar issues.
