Tuesday 1/02/2018. 

It is 2018 and for this week I decided to video the "Ab circle" workout that I do at BJJ class sometimes.  This one was much shorter as we had a smaller class this night.  Usually we have about 15 more people in class which would make the ab circle workout longer.  You'll see this all in the sped up video below but to explain it - we circle up and then we go around the circle and everyone picks an ab exercise which we all do for about 30 reps and then the next in line picks one.  You can watch the video below which has been shortened to 1 minutes and 30 seconds.
