Here’s the Wednesday Abs Focus weightlifting routine. It starts with the Treadmill Cardio/Abs Routine. Rachel Weisz’s trainer, Gregory Joujon-Roche suggests using a heart monitor to make sure you’re at the correct heart rate levels.
- Do 20 minutes on Treadmill (@2% Incline)

- Supermans
- 2 minutes treadmill @ 85% heart rate (160 BPM)

- Do 2 minute sprint between each ab circuit
- After 4th set of abs, end with run on treadmill (8% incline) for 5 minutes
For the abs, Gregory Joujon-Roche wants you to go to failure. Instead of having a certain number of reps in mind, just do sets of each circuit until you feel “you’ve killed it.”

The Rachel Weisz workout is all about the core. Counting reps isn’t what’s important. You want to get as many reps in as you can. Rachel Weisz’s trainer, Greg Joujon-Roche wants you to reach a breakthrough moment. He says:
In the breakthrough moment, you teeter on the edge of failure, because you’re not sure that you can perform even one more rep. Your muscles say you can’t. Your mind says you can. Who wins?
