The only thing more extreme than the competitions themselves? The adrenaline junkies who compete in them.
Enter Kevin Coleman. Not your ordinary pilot, Coleman is a challenger in the Red Bull Air Race, an aerobatic competition that combines high speed, perfect precision, and serious nerves of steel.

During the competition, Coleman—the first American to compete in the Challenger Cup, as well as one of the youngest pilots in the series—will experience intense G-forces while performing a series of stomach-turning stunts in the fastest time possible.
Aside from thousands of hours of training and a life-long passion for the sport, there’s one thing that gives Coleman an edge on race day: his concrete core.
His six-move, rapid-fire abs circuit is designed to build all-around core strength by focusing on muscles that help with total-body stability—and it just might put your own go-to routine to shame.
