This Trainer Shredded His Abs With The ‘Baby Shark’ Workout

If you’ve got a couple little ones, chances are you’ve heard “Baby Shark” on repeat since 2016. But one PT has turned the catchy kids song into your new favourite workout. 

Shared on the Athlean-X YouTube channel, trainer Jesse explains how he turned a bad bet into a a cheeky Ab finisher. After losing a wager, Jesse was forced to a do a “Baby Shark” ab workout for 30 days. So he thought: why not document the experience and, as the results show, he actually ends up pretty shredded. 

You can see the full video below. 

Originally, the “Baby Shark” workout was invented to get kids moving more, but instead Jesse fine-tuned the program to create an intense ab and core training routine. Here are the exercises you’ll find yourself doing throughout the song:

  • Scissors
  • V-Sit Hold
  • Alternating V-Sit Leg Raises
  • V-Sit Hold
  • Double V-Sit Leg Raises
  • V-Sit Hold
  • Alternating V-Sit Knee Tucks
  • V-Sit Hold
  • Double V-Sit Knee Tucks
  • V-Sit Hold
  • Mountain Climbers
  • V-Sit Hold
  • V-Sit Wipers
  • V-Sit Hold
  • V-Sit Backstroke

It’s not surprising Jesse saw results, says the brains behind Athlean-X, Jeff Cavaliere. The workout requires you to stay still in a half-v sitting position, meaning your core is under extreme tension, even between exercises.
