20-Minute Ab Ripper X
Welcome to my 20-minute recreation of Tony Horton’s P90X Ab Ripper X workout created in 2004. This is a mat core workout with 349 reps, completed 25 at a time in 12 unique moves. In this blog you’ll find a summary of the workout with some tips and notes. But if you just can’t wait to get moving, then go ahead and dive right into the workout.
If you have time, take my 5-minute warm up before your workout and my 5-minute post workout stretch when you’re done.
