Abs for Christmas? Yes, Please!!!


I am pretty proud of the changes I am seeing in my body. I am gaining more muscle which means I am losing lots of jiggle. I have been doing lots of cardio which includes my running and Jillian Micheal's videos and I have also been lifting weights at the gym. I downloaded the GymPact app to my IPhone which is an incentive based app that pays you to go to the gym or charges you if you miss workouts. I have worked out 5 days a week for the last six weeks (including the week of Thanksgiving!). With all of this, I am noticing a much flatter tummy. I am not doing ab specific exercises, however. I decided to come up with a plan to address my abs. I chose these specific exercises because they are challenging, but they are all exercises I can do successfully. I want to get the most of every exercise I do and I cannot do that if I am trying to figure out how to do the move. My 14 year old acted as a guinea pig and experimented with me to make sure that the workout is a challenge. So far, I can only complete the workout 2 times in a row. This takes 10:37 seconds. My goal is to be able to do this workout 3 or more times consecutively, in conjunction with my other workouts, by the end of the month. So...yes please, I will take that lovely gift of abs for Christmas...
