In the off-season program of one of the pro football teams I played for, we had a karate instructor – everyone called him “Karate Bob” – come in every week to take us through a workout.

Those workouts were TOUGH … they contributed BIG time to our overall conditioning and all-around fitness level, as you might expect …

But one of the things I was actually the MOST surprised by was how sore my ABS always were after these training sessions.

It was a GREAT way to work the midsection, and get a strong, functional core.

That’s why when North American Kick Boxing Champ Mike Zhang reached out to me and wanted to do a guest article / video for FVT readers with an ab workout in the style of what we used to do back in KC, I was SUPER pumped!

Try this workout today, and let me know how it goes –
