woman doing an ab workout at home



Your Core Is Your Anchor

In combat, in life, your core is the unyielding anchor that transmits power, absorbs impact, and protects your spine. Forget endless crunches. This isn't about looking good; it's about building an iron core that can withstand anything.

This 100-Rep Iron Core Challenge will expose every weakness and forge an unbreakable midsection. No equipment. Just pure, brutal effort.

🛑 WARNING: CONSULT A DOCTOR FIRST. The workouts on Elite Home Workouts are high-intensity and challenging. They are not medical advice. You follow these routines and assume all risk of injury entirely at your own discretion. Push hard, but push smart.

🔥 THE 100-REP IRON CORE PROTOCOL

Perform the following exercises back-to-back, with minimal rest between movements. Your goal is to complete all 100 repetitions with perfect form.

Your Score:

  • Elite: Complete all 100 reps in under 10 minutes.

  • Advanced: Complete all 100 reps in 10-15 minutes.

  • Warrior: Complete all 100 reps in 15-20 minutes.

  • Recruit: Complete all 100 reps in over 20 minutes (keep pushing!).

1. Plank Hold (30 Seconds)

Start strong. A solid plank is the foundation of all core strength. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels, squeezing your thighs and glutes to tuck your butt in.

📺 Watch the Perfect Plank Form:

2. V-Ups (25 Reps)

This explosive movement targets both your upper and lower abs. Simultaneously perform a sit-up and lift your straight legs, creating a V-shape and reaching your hands to touch your toes. Maintain ab tension and don't let your heels touch the floor between reps.

3. Russian Twists (25 Reps - 12-13 per side)

Engage your obliques and rotational power. Sit on the ground with your body inclined around 45 degrees and rotate your torso side to side. The most common mistake is rounding your low back—maintain good posture and drive your elbow back behind your body for full rotation.

📺 Master the Russian Twist:

4. Bicycle Crunches (20 Reps - 10 per side)

Finish with a dynamic, muscle-torching movement. Glue your back to the ground, push your rib cage down, and alternate bringing your opposite elbow to your opposite knee. Focus on slow control over momentum.
