ABS

I have long had the goal to get my abs in shape, especially after having 5 babies. But I've never done it. So along with my treadmill workout, I've been adding some abs in. I'm not really bold enough to make a committment and say this is the year. And I definitely won't be posting a before picture. If I do a good job, I may be brave enough to post an after picture but I doubt it. I can say I'm more motivated than ever. And I have done more than I usually do with them this year.



I actually asked my husband for one of these gizmo's for Christmas this year. And I love it! It's great if you have weak lower back muscles and need that extra little umph when coming up out of your situps, like I do.

And most recently I came upon this great pilates ab workout from the mandjshow.com. But be forewarned, it is much harder than it looks. I'm hoping to incorporate this workout into my routine too.

  1. Good luck. I started really getting back into working out a year ago. It's hard but it pays off.

  3. Hope you at least take the before pictures--it is a real boost to see the difference (not that I know...) That sit up machine looks quite funny, but glad it works!

  5. Just the site of that thing looks intimidating. I hope it works! Abs are my BIGGEST weakness for sure.

  6. Good luck! I am afraid my abs are way beyond repair! I don't think any amount of situps could fix them. Cant wait to hear how it all works for you:)
