Do THIS Everyday In 2026 For 6 PACK ABS
Another year, another chance to chase the goal so many people talk about but so few commit to: 6‑pack abs. And honestly? There are no excuses this time around. Eight minutes. Zero equipment. All fitness levels. Every area of your core. That’s the formula, and Chris delivers it flawlessly.
If you can give yourself 8 minutes a day, you can build a stronger, more defined, more athletic midsection in 2026. Consistency is the real secret, and this routine is designed to be simple enough to stick with, yet intense enough to create real change.
Before you start, make sure you have downloaded the THENX app on the Google Play Store or App Store: it is free, and it is the easiest way to follow along, track progress, and stay accountable!
Chris has three timers going for each exercise. For his Beginners: 30 seconds, followed by 30 seconds of rest. Intermediate: 40 seconds, followed by 20 seconds of rest and Advanced: 45 seconds, followed by 15 seconds of rest. Chris is going for the Intermediate, but you tackle the one that is suited for you. Eight exercises. Eight minutes. Maximum impact.
1. Crucifix: Targets the upper abs and deep stabilizers. Holding your arms wide forces your core to work harder to control the movement.
2. Laying Leg Raises: A lower‑ab classic. Smooth, controlled reps, no swinging, to build strength and definition from the bottom up.
3. Crunch Reach Through: A focused upper‑ab burner. Reaching through your legs helps you squeeze the abs harder and improve mind‑muscle connection.
4. Bicycles: Obliques, lower abs, upper abs, everything fires here. Keep the rotation sharp and controlled.
5. Switching Mountain Climbers: A cardio‑core hybrid. This move elevates your heart rate while carving out the lower abs and obliques.
6. Reach Ups: A full‑range upper‑ab movement that forces you to lift your shoulders higher than a standard crunch.
7. Plank Knees to Elbows: A dynamic plank variation that lights up the obliques and teaches your core to stabilize under movement.
8. High Plank In & Out: Finishes the routine with a lower‑ab and hip‑flexor challenge while keeping your shoulders and core engaged.
Eight Exercises. Eight Minutes. Every Day. That’s it! Eight minutes to hit every section of your abs: upper, lower, obliques, and deep stabilizers. Do this daily, stay consistent, and your 2026 self will thank you.
