WATCH: The Baby Shark Ab Workout looks like hell

More like… “ab-y shark”. AM I RIGHT?

‘Baby Shark’ hype is still real and showing no signs of slowing down as the song gets morphed into new forms and remixes (dear God let there be no more remixes).

One spin-off of the song is ‘Baby Shark’ Ab Workout, which isn’t exactly new, having first received internet fame in 2018, but it looks like a hell of a workout that can be done in the safety of your own home.

The Baby Shark Ab Workout is something that was created for kids as a way to get them exercising. The problem is, it is certainly not easy. A sequence of floor based v-sit ab exercises takes the user through a series of eight moves without rest.

In an Athlean-X video, a fitness channel with almost nine million subscribers, trainer Jesse explains that after he lost a bet, he was condemned to doing the ‘Baby Shark’ Ab Workout for a whole month, and he said it really worked for him.

Skip ahead to around the two minute mark in the video below to see him run through the workout.

Now, we’re not saying if you do this for 30 days you’re going to look like Jesse, he’s a trainer with low body fat who had abs to begin with. But if there’s room for a little bit of exercise in your life, this could help.

You could probably do it without the music once you’ve it done a couple of times, it may prevent you from going nuts, or worse, beginning to actually like the song.
