I train abs 3-5 times a week, usually after a workout but sometimes during rest periods on an upper body day. The workouts are constantly changing, I like to mix it up to have some fun and keep my body guessing. Here is a up-close look at one of my full ab workouts at just over three weeks out from the Figure Olympia.
When will your workout Clothing line be available?
In the fall. I am waiting on a couple more pieces to come in and then I will blast it all at once online.
yah!!! can’t wait. LOVE all your vides they help me a lot
Absolutely love it!
Your hanging leg raises are awesome – in my training at the gym last night I only managed bringing my legs half way up / roman chair not hanging! X
Lots of practice 😉 Don’t give up!
Great job. Such an inspiration for us! Countdown to see u again at Olympia 2014! 😀
You are such an inspiration to so many people! I am getting ready to compete in my 3rd figure competition in 2.5 weeks. I hope to aspire to be like you! You are so motivated! Do you do your own workouts or work with a coach? I am personally working with a coach, which definitely has brought me to the next level! Keep up the awesome work! Can’t wait to see your final package at the Olympia! Good luck! You look awesome!!!!!!
I workout on my own daily but have a virtual coach who helps me with competition diet and makes adjustments to my training split.
Do you typically owrk 1 body part a week or 2. I am having a hard time with trying to figure out which is better what are your thoughts. Having a hard time gaining size.
Usually hit each bodypart once a week- unless it is a lagging bodypart. Then I will hit it twice.
This may be an ab video but your booty is a distraction! lol 🙂 Thanks for the video. Such great control doing leg raises. I can’t wait until I can do them that well! Major inspiration.
Excellent ab workout Nicole! For those of you in the Temecula, CA area or nearby, contact Nicole for one-on-one training or online training! I have had the privilege of training with Nicole since June and have never felt or looked better in my entire life! She is an incredible athlete with an amazing work ethic! If you are striving to look your absolute best , hire the best!!! FYI, Nicole is even more gorgeous in person!!!
Thank you so much Victoria! It is such a pleasure seeing you each week 🙂
GREAT!
Awesome…..Just love the videos and the instruction with it…..So motivating!!!!
Thank you for video! I am trying this on my next ab workout. Nicole I what brand are your training pants they are awesome!
They are lululemon.com pants from YEARS ago lol. I love them!
Love the ab workout. Question, I have a problem with stability with the Russian Twists, I can’t seem to keep my butt stable, any recommendations for this problem? Or is it just a weak core issue. Thanks again for all the great information, I have incorporated a lot of your techniques into my workouts.
It sounds like it could be either too much weight or a weak core issue. Try to use a lighter weight and twist from side to side slower.
Do you have any tips on how to build up to the full hanging leg raises?
Do them every week! Practice makes perfect 🙂
AMAZING!!! I look forward to your videos every week!! Im truly inspired i am down to 23% bf just by watching and learning from you! Ever consider doing information on breast augmentations..like if and when is the best time to consider? I have no boobs left after all my recent training..I look like i have two backs lol KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK! GOOD LUCK AT THE OLYMPIA! YOU GOT THIS 😀
This is really good. You look tremendous Nicole. Love your hanging leg raises & supersets. Thanks for saying so much.
Love it! Training for my 3rd show (bikini). I’ve placed before but hoping with your videos and inspiration, I can take home #1!!
This was awesome. Did it today actually to get myself back into my “groove” for the week. Can’t say that my hanging leg raises looked as good. Mine look downright raggedy, so they turned into hanging knee raises just so I could save face. LOL Did the rest of the workout, and was sweating bullets when it was all over. It was tougher than it looks.
Thanks Nicole. You rock Girlfriend!!! 🙂
Great video! Is there a particular reason you do sit-ups on the bench instead of on the floor?
It is easier on my back
I love it
Theres an app called ‘seconds’ I use in my group training. It beeps, dings, or whatever you need to hear when your time is up and when your rest is up. I like to use it on the treadmill too for a 30 sec sprint and a 20 sec rest.
I downloaded this! Thank you!
What would you suggest doING in place of the v-ups exercise? That is one that I am having the hardest time with. ..
I would keep trying them- That is the only way to get better. But another option would be leg raises to a crunch.
Hi Nicole
I train for a figure competition in autumn. As I easily gain muscles and I am scared of gaining too much width in my middle. Did your waist did not get wider with so much ab training? What is your experience?
Love your videos! Thank you very much for sharing them:o))
