Over the weekend, Cindy Crawford posted a very useful (and very quarantine-friendly) throwback video to Instagram. Crunching her way through a core workout on a New York City rooftop, the now-54-year-old supermodel encouraged her 4.7 million followers to get active from home by emulating her six-minute 39-second ab workout, shot many years ago with her trainer.<\/p>\n

And so, I set myself a challenge: Every day, I would start my morning with a tall glass of water like Cameron Diaz and a six-minute core burner courtesy of Crawford. There is no mucking around. The model gets straight down to business and works very<\/em> quickly through the four different types of exercises and demonstrations \u2013 so you had better be paying attention.<\/p>\n

You have to do 10 regular crunches, 10 full sit-ups, 10 roll-ups and 10 jack-knives on your right side and 10 of the same on your left side. You will go through this three times equaling 150 crunches. (Make sure you\u2019re always embracing your core so as not to hurt your lower back.)<\/p>\n

For me, I set up my laptop and yoga mat on the hardwood floor in my kitchen. I like to open up Crawford\u2019s IGTV video to full size (you can see it below). Don\u2019t worry if you forget to count, her trainer and his accent do this for you along the way.<\/p>\n

While I work out five times a week – and three with a great trainer named Ben<\/a> – I found Crawford’s challenge… challenging. As I said before, she moves really<\/em> quickly through the motions \u2013 and I found the roll-ups the most difficult to manage at such speed. But you get used to it. Your abs will burn \u2013 but it\u2019s over in a flash, so don\u2019t skip one rep.<\/p>\n

Three days in, my abdominal muscles are nearly as sore as they were post a workout with Adriana Lima\u2019s trainer Kirk Myers at his gym in Soh<\/a>o \u2013 and definitely more sculpted than, well, Saturday. As I live in New York (but am currently residing in Sydney to ride out this pandemic), I\u2019ve now made it part of my morning routine to call my girlfriends in Manhattan \u2013 who are all actually on sunny rooftops like Cindy. We set up our phones next to our laptops and do the core workout together, a ritual that will surely continue when I finally set foot back on American soil.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere’s another workout clip that’s great for when you’re at home,\u201d Crawford captioned the video. \u201cThis one’s all about the abs… sorry (but also, you’re welcome) in advance!!\u201d<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re over going for a million nervous little walks around your city, try Crawford\u2019s ab-defining workout. Trust me, it\u2019ll burn, Baby. But you\u2019ll feel more accomplished in the tiny space of six minutes and, too, will be DM’ing this little beauty to your friends around the world.<\/p>\n
