Friday's Plan - ABS / Core

So have you been keeping up? Not necessarily with MY plan but with just plain getting out there and moving it. I believe that is the first step is just making the effort to DO IT.

I've worked out consistently this week and I'm pretty damn proud of myself. I am a little sore today, butt and inner thigh area from Thursday. I'm really starting to think I need to do this 2, maybe 3 times a week. It's short and sweet but highly effective.

We did this workout a week or so ago ... and I'm ready to do it again! So lets hop to it....

Elbows to knees, rotating, 25 total. Go slow and don't strain your neck. Mentally concentrate on your ab muscles. You should feel upper, lower and the sides contracting ... breathe. Take a few second break if needed, count to 10 super quick, that's the only break you get!

Feet straight up, heels to ceiling, reach with your hands to touch your toes, up and down, 25 total. You can do it. Keep the legs straight, don't bend your knees and keep your feet flat to the ceiling. Again, focus, concentrate and BREATHE!

Hmm, that was 50 already and it's only been, what, 15 minutes? Woohoo. Moving on:

In and outs ... this is a P90X Abripper move, sit with your knees bent, lift feet off ground, hands on ground to side, slightly behind your rear. extend legs straight out, trying to keep your back straight (do not arch) and bring knees back up towards your chest. Keep feet flat as you do and go for 25.

Next up is Crunchy Frog, another P90X Abripper move, start in same position as In and Outs only know, your arms are out to side (in air, palms facing forward). Straighten legs out (off the ground) and lean back and then come up to starting position with knees up to chest and arms wrapping around knees. In and out. Breathe (this is hard I think) and we are going for 25.

Whew. Thats 100 baby. Ok, really, we should do more but I think the last thing I'm going to do is mason twist.

50. With my 10 lb medicine ball. Just because.
