Ten minutes, on the floor
Six exercises, two rounds, timed. Thirty seconds of work and twenty of rest at the easiest level, forty-five and ten at the hardest — about ten to eleven minutes either way.
The training
Daily abs workout
Six exercises, two rounds, about ten minutes on the floor — timed work and rest, no equipment, no gym.
What it gives you
Scaled by level, not by mood
The level you set at the start caps which exercises can appear at all. A rookie never gets handed a dragon flag, and a machine never gets a session it can coast through.
Nothing to buy, ever
Forty exercises in the catalogue and not one of them needs equipment. A mat is a comfort, not a requirement.
A streak that counts workouts, not days
The plan prescribes rest, so the streak tolerates it: up to three days between two sessions keeps the chain alive. Only disappearing breaks it.
How it works
- 01
Open today’s session
It is already built and it does not change if you close the app and come back. Six exercises, in an order picked to alternate the load.
- 02
Work, rest, repeat
Timed blocks with the exercise demo in front of you. Rest gives you a "+20s" if you need it and a skip if you do not, and shows what is coming next.
- 03
Log the photo
The session ends on your reps, your calories and your streak — then offers a ten-second photo for the timelapse, while the pump is still there.
What a session looks like
Six exercises, performed twice, as a timed circuit. Every block is work then rest, with the demo of the movement in front of you and a “how to” sheet a tap away — including the part about what cheating the movement looks like.
The rest screen is deliberately useful rather than dead time: it names the next exercise, and it lets you add twenty seconds or skip ahead. Which one you press is the honest measure of the session.
Why the session is fixed before you open it
Today’s workout is generated from your profile and the day, and it is stable: the same day gives you the same six exercises whether you open the app at 7am or at midnight. Nothing reshuffles because you did not like what you saw.
The level you picked at the start does the real work here. It caps how advanced an exercise can be and sets the work-to-rest ratio — a beginner gets thirty seconds on and twenty off, someone advanced gets forty-five on and ten off. The session is never made easier because you skipped yesterday.
What it does not do
It does not correct your form. Absly counts your session, not your technique — the camera only judges movement in the challenge, never during a workout. If an exercise hurts your back or your neck, the “how to” sheet is the limit of what the app can tell you.
It is also not a full-body program. These are abs sessions: they train the core and nothing else pretends otherwise.
Getting the most out of it
- Finish the round instead of adding weight. There is no weight to add — the progression is the level and the phase.
- Use the +20s honestly. It exists so you keep the form, not so you avoid the work.
- Take the photo at the end. Ten seconds while the pump is up is what makes the timelapse worth watching eight weeks later.

Frequently asked
How long is one workout?
About ten to eleven minutes. A session is six exercises done twice, with timed work and rest — thirty seconds of work and twenty of rest at the easiest level, forty-five and ten at the hardest. Recovery sessions run one round instead of two.
Do I need any equipment?
No. All forty exercises in the catalogue are bodyweight and floor-based, so the whole program runs in a bedroom. A mat makes the floor kinder to your spine, but nothing in the plan requires one.
Does missing a day break my streak?
Not by itself. The streak counts workouts done in a row rather than consecutive calendar days, and tolerates up to three days between two sessions — a weekend off is fine. On a daily plan the tolerance drops to one day.

90 seconds of camera time becomes one number on a 0-100 scale — the same number whether you like it or not.
