My Workout Today!
Soooo good!
I walked/ran for 15 minutes (intervals…got up to 6 mph).
Got a little bummed because there were so many people in the gym and I had to do my ab stuff at home (didn’t want to get stepped on). BUT I did Blogilates’ Muffintopless, Abominable Abdominals, and her Justin Beiber challenge (don’t judge).
A total of 50 minutes. Not an hour but hey, I fatigued my abs/obliques so I reached my goal! And that’s what matters.
Now I’m having fun figuring out this weighttraining.com bursniss. :P
I ate a little over my 1900 calories but not by much AND the only unhealthy thing I ate today was a small pack of M&Ms cookies. I did pretty damn good!

- One-arm cable side laterals 3x10
Haven’t done this one in a long time.. might give it a go tonight! Make sure to always use proper form to avoid injury. Exhale on the contraction and make sure to engage your core in all exercises. Use slow, controlled motions (don’t swing the weights or use momentum to get them up there). If you need one, use a spotter. Be safe and enjoy =)
Simple Ab Workout:
- Crunches on stability ball
- Leg raises with stability ball between legs
- Crunches on the floor with heels on the top of the ball
- Plank
Do all exercises to failure (until you physically cannot perform another repetition). Move quickly from one exercise to the next with little to no rest in between. Once you have completed all four exercises, take a 30 second - 2 minute break depending on your fitness level and repeat the set 2-3 more times. Focus on the QUALITY not quantity of reps! Make sure not to yank on your neck and exhale on the contraction! ENJOY! =)
