Jeff Cavaliere’s 10-Minute Ab Workout for a 6-Pack
In the recent YouTube video, Cavaliere highlighted key rules to his 10-minute ab workout. For beginners, stop at the 30-second mark for each exercise and rest for 30 seconds. The intermediate group will go for 40 seconds with a 20-second rest. Advanced will go up to 50 seconds and take a 10-second rest period.
“The first beep you hear will be at the 30-second mark, that’s where beginners can stop doing the exercise and start doing their rest. Intermediate will hear a second beep at 40 seconds, you stop there and rest for 20 seconds. The advanced can make it all the way up to 50 seconds on each exercise with a 10-second rest.”

Cavaliere explained that if you can’t progress your time on each exercise, slowly build up your endurance over time.
“Just like that, you’re 10 minutes of work is done,” he shared. “Put in as much as an effort as you can. If you can’t keep progressing the time you’re doing on each exercise then build up to it.”
In addition to his ab-burning training session, Cavaliere has offered guidance in his ‘perfect’ workout series. He’s laid out how to effectively build the chest, triceps, and biceps, providing exercise selections and insights geared toward maximizing gains quickly.
As the former assistant strength and conditioning coach to the New York Mets, Cavaliere is dedicated to offering tried-and-true advice in the fitness sector. He believes this well-constructed abs workout can help you achieve a tighter midsection in less than 28 days, though he emphasized the importance of following a clean nutrition plan for the best results.
