One of the most important things for an MMA fighter to have is strong Abs. The Ab training that a fighter goes through is intense, to ensure their core is ready for 3-5 rounds of punishment. Having strong abs and core allows you to turn your opponent over, and take them down easier from a standing position.
It doesn’t matter if you are in the ring or at the office, having strong abs is vital for giving you better posture, having less stress on the spine and less back pain.
Here is my part 5 in my Funk 50 for Abs Workout Series - MMA SIX PACK ATTACK. If you want to strong, tough abs, then add this workout to your regular regimen. This can be done by both men and women, so no excuses.
With all Funk 50 Ab Workouts, you are going to do each movement for 10 reps each with no rest in between exercises. Once you have completed the 5 exercises rest for 1 minute and get back into the fight for 2 more rounds – FOR A TOTAL OF 3 ROUNDS
To make it even tougher hold each contraction for one count.

FUNK 50 AB TIPS
1. Keep the contraction throughout the entire movement
2. Relax the other muscles and focus on using only your abs
3. Perform the Funk 50 at the beginning of you workouts
4. Do not use momentum when performing exercises
5. Give your abs some rest by working them 3 times per week
6. Breathe – Exhale on the exertion of the exercise
7. Keep your form, or you won’t get the most of the exercise and set yourself up for injury
8. Keep your abs engaged to protect your spine
9. DIET AND CARDIO BABY – you can do all the abs in the world, but they are useless if you consume more calories than you burn
10. Set goals for yourself
11. Don’t quit, you may not be able to do all the reps at the very beginning but you abs will get stronger the more you work them
AB EXERCISES DON'T BURN FAT!!!!!!
You lose fat with nutrition and cardio. If you want to see your abs, tighten up your diet and do more cardio! The bottom line is, if your abs are covered with a layer of fat, you won't be able to see them, no matter how much ab exercise you do!
