8-Minute Ab Workout
Crunches - great exercise to work your upper abs.
Reverse Crunches - great exercise to work your lower abs.
Russian Twist - recline while we target internal and external obliques on each side.
Plank - draw in your stomach to target your deepest abdominal layer.
Bicycle Crunches - combining flexion with rotation in one of the best ab moves out there.
Mountain Climber - weight-bearing, anti-gravity position works all the layers of your abs.
Double Leg Raise - my favorite to target and isolate the lower abs.
Side Plank Hip Dip - the most-effective way to work the lateral core muscles.
The fastest way to shred your abs in a hurry!
Want a toned, defined tummy but lack the time to get it? You don't need a lot of time or even equipment to increase stomach definition, decrease fat, increase strength, and define that six-pack.
This ab workout requires zero equipment, hits every major muscle group in your abdomen, and is only 8 minutes long. It's the perfect way to finish off any workout or for those days when you're short on time.
So grab your timer and let's get to work!
For this "8-Minute Abs" routine, we're going to be performing 8 of my favorite at-home exercises for your abs.
We'll run through each of these 50 seconds on, 10 seconds off.
Keep in mind that because it's only 8 minutes long I want you to push as hard as you can for each exercise during the 50-seconds "on" period.
This is a great way to tone and tighten your midsection and do a lot of work in not-a-lot of time.
Be sure to follow along on the video!

Nothing gets me like bicycle crunches! What's your favorite abs exercise?
Leg raisee!
Plank crunches
I hate them all!
But if I had to pick one I think works me out the best I’d say bicycle crunch.
i always do these exercices everyday thanks to you (me too the bicycle crunches gets me) thanks again for the great video
Bicycle crunches 😀
“You’re doing great” he says as I lay on the floor looking up at the ceiling, contemplating my life decisions
Ha, ha! This is a difficult workout! Keep working on it!
@@toneandtighten how many weeks or months would it take to show muscle gain results?
Gustavo Martinez if you’re consistent (maybe doing it every other day or at least 3 times a week) and be sure to keep eating healthy. avoid fatty foods and don’t fill your self up all the time. remember to drink LOTS OF WATER and to actually lose some weight be sure to stay active every day. go on walks often or go on a run. and make sure you get plenty of sleep (8+ hours)
and makes sure you go to bed before 12:00.
once you keep all these habits up, staying consistent with activities getting exercise, keeping a healthy diet (include protein) ..plenty of sleep and LOTS of water. stay consistent with these workouts too (try 3 times a week)
if u keep all of this up you should notice a big difference after maybe a month.
and remember you might have abs, but they’re not showing because fat is in the way. so keep working the abs to get them bigger and lose the fat to get them to show. 👊🏼👍🏼
is you don’t see results after a month. don’t stop. that’s one of the main reasons why ppl don’t get the results because they give up. keep theses habits going, stay consistent and i promise you they’ll come!
@@theo2oo4 thank you so much for this!
Ghostly Ghost no worries man! happy to help, and good luck!
Out of the 1000’s of exercise videos, this is a 5⭐️ ab workout! At 8 minutes, it doesn’t waste a second. It’s like having a coach, showing me the correct positions, & telling me what abdominal muscles I’m working. Thank you for doing the exercises with us. It’s what pushes me to finish.
Thank you so much again, Findyourwayhome!
I completely agree, I love how every exercise is explained along the way and demonstrated how to correctly do it. Plus, I use this video every time to not only ensure I’m doing the correct exercise, but it helps to not stare at a timer and just listen to Jared for queues when I need to switch.
This was my exact sentiment! It feels like he knows my focus wanders between the points of an exercise and kindly wrangles us back into form with our navel. Best workout I've ever had!
At 70+ yrs. they're not easy anymore; however, they all help with my aches and pains.
Exactly. great host. Subbed
Been at this for 3 weeks, 5 times a week. Already I am able to keep up with him so much better than when I started and can see some result, still a long way to go.
I know its hard to keep going and even harder to actually start but just do what you can and try to push yourself just a little more each time before stopping for a rest.
Keep up the good work!
bro, this is my first time... ouch! barely went 20s!!
I been using these videos for months. Feels great to wake up and roll out of bed to a intense 8 min plank/abs to start your day off.
That is wonderful, d dvd! I am so glad you are enjoying this workout and getting your daily exercise in!
Every thing KILLED me, thank you so much for this great video I really needed it ever since quarantine started.♥️♥️🔥✌️.
You are welcome, Lizzy! I am so glad you enjoyed this workout!
This is a great routine. At 66 years old I go to the gym 3 or 4 days a week. This video helps me stay focused, so a couple of times a day for me. Being retired I have some time. Gotta keep moving. And yes, I like the bicycle crunches best.
Good for you, Dan! I love that you are still active and are taking care of yourself! Thanks for commenting!
Thanks man I've been wanting to work abs for ages but couldn't find a good simple and quick guide, subbed 👍
Another awesome ab workout by T and T!! This one and the Total Plank workout torch my abs!! A month and a half of Jared’s ab workouts and my 57 year old core looks 25 again. Back to a bikini!
Thank you, Jared!

You are so welcome, K C! I am so glad you find my content helpful and thanks for sharing!
Love this video, very helpful. I have not been able to fully perform the entire 8 minutes but I feel it. Disregard those who mentioned less talking, if they listen your directions are very helpful. Form is 50% of the workout. Keep doing what you do.
Thanks so much! That is so kind of you to say!
So glad I found this just did this one and the plank workout can't wait to incorporate these into my workouts
Awesome! I am glad you like the ab workouts!
Just what I was looking for. Simple, straightforward, helpful and to the point. Thank you.

You're so welcome, Sharon! I am glad you enjoyed this workout and thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness, I did this one right after doing your stretches for inflexible people and core exercise vids. Broke me out in a sweat and everything lol. I can’t believe how worked out my abdomen feels after doing these with no equipment. Thank you for posting all these great stretches and exercises!
So glad you enjoyed this workout! Keep it up!
Thanks a lot for this great routine. Your clear explanations and coaching and encouragement got me through the winter, and now most of these exercises are part of my daily routine. I am feeling better than ever. Thanks again.
You are welcome! I am so glad you have enjoyed this workout so much and thank you for your comment!
Best simple exercises I could have found that I know will help me than any other complicated videos! Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this workout - I have been doing it a few times per week and my abs are feeling so much stronger. The 8 minute timeframe is perfect, it is quick to fit in even on a busy day (no excuses). I enjoy all of your videos so much, thank you!
You're so welcome! I am glad you enjoy this workout!
How well did this video do for your abs? Does it actually define a lot more or can u barely see them?
Love this! Thanks for an awesome workout for my abs!
You're so welcome, Christine Preston! I am glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome video! I’m going to make this a part of my daily workouts.
Thank you, Ivan! I hope you enjoy the workout!
Awesome! Love these old videos.
Glad you like them!
I found this "older" video when looking for a new lower ab workout. I really enjoyed that you did 8 exercises a minute each - how simple and effective. Thanks for the change up in my routine.
You're so welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it!
I have 14 years old and this totally works!!!
I am so glad you are enjoying this workout!
This is a great mix of abdominal exercises!
Thank you, Margaret! I am glad you like it!
I've been doing your total plank workout for 30 days now, I really enjoyed the walk through, the encouragement and the timer. I think I'll switch to this workout for the next 30 days. Thanks!
That's awesome, FastGM3! What did you think? What were the results from doing it for 30 days? Thanks for sharing!
Well it took about 5-7 days before I could even complete the full 8 minutes. The first day I don’t think I even got past the first minute and my abs and hurt pretty good for a couple of hours. But each day it got easier and my core got much stronger. By the end of 30 days my stomach was much tighter (not so much toner yet lol), it really helped my balance and core strength. I followed your plank workout each day with about 20min of yoga and could really tell the difference in my stretches and balance in the yoga flows! On day 2 now of your 8min Ab workout, I thought the planks really made day 1 feel like this was a breeze. But Day 2 smacked me right in the Abs, really really feeling it but lovin’ it at the same time! Thanks for the great routines, it’s a daily habit right after my treadmill and right before my yoga. Still waiting on the tone part, but I know and feel if I stick with it, it to will show!
The bicycle crunches and the double straight leg raises get my abs burning! I've been doing this ab workout for around 3 months now, 5 days a week and I love it. Stay on the grind!
It is a tough workout for sure! Keep it up!
Love this video. Made me add all my stuff into one quick workout and you feel it all right away.
So glad!
Hello Jared. I've been doing your workouts since 2019 and I've lost a lot of weight. I was 186 lbs and now I'm down to 135. I just tried this workout and I got abs cramp for at least 5 minutes. Any advice on how to avoid this? I'm 2 min into this workout and I get cramps.
Love your workouts thankyou 😊
Sabrina - thank you! I appreciate it!
Awesome workout and awesome guidance! Tone and Tighten is the perfect channel to ignite your self-growth with. What I somehow noticed is that I tend to overuse my legs and thighs while doing bicycle crunches. Is there any way to improve this?
I was looking for something like this. Been following this video every time I have a chance to exercise. So far it's making a huge difference.
Wonderful, RD W! I am so glad you are enjoying it!
I've tried other videos, but yours are the best one, because I feel it's made a difference, thanks ❤😂
Happy to hear that and thanks for commenting!
Loved it!
Thank you, Steven Roberts! I am glad you liked this workout!

Awesome! Thank you!
This is a great routine!

Love these exercises, it’s honestly difficult for me because I never worked out before or done many exercises and ima keep doing these workouts all the way until high school to see the difference, 10/10 in my opinion
Thank you, Ricardo! I hope you see great results with this workout!
Hey Jared! Can you do a Mcgill 3 big workout, please???? 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I couldn’t find any but just explanations. Besides, I love following your instructions.
Love it easy to do at home

Awesome exercise tough as a beginner but got through it. Thank you for making us healthier and the best thing is we can do it in out own time in our own home.
My pleasure!
Just did this one after an interval walk/jog. Definitely more manageable for me than the lower ab only follow along. My lower abs are weak! This video was great! As always, thanks for sharing, and yes, I realize 2 years ago. All the same, great workout!
Great job, Melanie! I am glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
me after 1 minute: I think I need 2 minutes break in between. 😅
Ha ha, take breaks if you need!
That’s good stuff . Works great thanks

Wow, great vid!!
Thank you, Job Lara! I am glad you enjoyed this workout!
Jared, I tried your workout today and I really like it! It was challenging because I have weak abs, but I plan on sticking it out. I hate working abs. I think this workout is do-able for me. Thank you!
Wonderful! I am glad you enjoyed it and definitely keep it up!
Hi - I'm nearly 56, a male, and I've been less than fit for a long time.
I saved this and your 'Intense Plank' videos *a long* time ago but have never done them - until today.
If I don't do something about my fitness and core strength now, I think I risk bring an overweight, unfit, and unhealthy old man.
Man, these are tough! First time doing them just now, and I couldn't complete every exercise. I'm a stubborn old goat, though, and will do them every day. I'm determined to get to the point where I can go through them entirely without stopping.
I will report back in four weeks time to let you know how I'm getting on.
Thank you for these exercises, and thank you for your positivity 😊
You got this! You are welcome!
Thanks for the awesome vid! I usually pair this video with the 15 minute bicep and tricep exercise video. Any suggestions for thigh and calf excersises?
This is a great lower body workout! ua-cam.com/video/gUK-u1dDS-Y/v-deo.html
Very practical exercises and the good thing is that you explain the right posture to do them, even an experienced gym guy like me may do something wrong, cheers man.
Thanks so much, Hanif Malekpoor! I appreciate your positive feedback!
i work out like everyday and i’ve gotten so used to it that it doesn’t burn but this burned today and felt so good so thankyou!
I am so glad you enjoyed this workout, Lauren!
Thanks helps in my swimming, table tennis, and weight lifting and I'm 63.
You are welcome, jason stack! I am so glad you have found this workout helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for such efficient abs workout!!! It’s a real burner for core muscles !!! I’m gonna reveal them!!!
You're so welcome! I am glad you like it!
Thank you! I really got a great abs workout. 😁
You're so welcome, Teresa! I am glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you
You bet! I hope you enjoy this one!
This is the workout i have been searching for. Currently on second day. Taking 2-3 sec break between bicycle crunches and leg raises. Hopefully i will improve after a week or so. Thanks for the video.
You are welcome! I am glad you found what you are looking for and I hope you see great results!
My favorite, walk outs or “inch worms” as my trainer called them. I would go for a long reach. Is that an ab exercise? Your “8-minute Plank” is all I can do!
Inch worms work your core and your upper body!
Thank you sir
You are welcome! I hope you enjoyed it!
Love this workout. Also the stretch and core videos make a great session
Thank you, Paul Bird! I am so glad you like this workout!
I'm going to do this!
I hope you enjoy it!
I'm excited to try this, as I have been running for years but can't get rid of my mommy tummy.
This is just your ticket, Kim! Running is great cardio and fat burn; supplementing that with focused core strengthening will be just what you're looking for to help tone and tighten that "mommy tummy"! Good luck!
Jared, I love all your videos! They are the best ones on UA-cam. I'm hoping that if I do the abs 3 times a week, I will lose my love handle. What do you think?
Thank you so much for your kind words, Dick! I am so glad you are enjoying my videos! Unfortunately, we cannot spot reduce fat so the most effective way to get rid of love handles is to eat in a caloric deficit and incorporate steady state cardio into your routine.
Excellent guide I very appreciate that😎
No problem 👍 I am glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent! 8 mins. goes by so fast! I stand taller the next day.
Way to go!
Absolutely brillent short precise fun and doable
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best
I can see a huge difference in my abs! Took about 2 months to see an amazing difference, and believe me it was absolutely worth it!!!! Best ab exercises EVER!!! Thank you so much!!!👍😘💖
That's incredible! I am so glad you are seeing such great results and great job for putting in the work!
How many days a week were you doing this workout
