Work It

Good morning!

For those of you who don’t have a ton of time in the gym, but want to make sure you work those ab muscles, I have something special for you this morning!

A quick, no frills, ab blaster. It’s a quick little combo I put together to get you in and out, while still getting in a great workout for your abs – enjoy!

For your reference, here are some of the exercises further explained;

Leg raises

 

Bicycle

The hundred

 

Mason twists

Scissor kicks

Be sure to check out my previous ab workouts, too!

 

And because we all need a kick in the pants sometimes, here’s a motivational photo:

Side note: Are you enjoying these workouts I’m sharing? Too much? Not enough? You guys expressed an interest, but I don’t want to keep sharing them if no one cares — let me know ;)

There is nothing I love more than ripping my abs to smithereens.

Seriously.

Ok, well maybe I’d prefer eating some cupcakes. But they don’t give me a six-pack. This workout does.

Enjoy!

 

Pulse up – 30x

Plank – 60 seconds

Advanced Plank – 10 seconds each side

Single leg side plank – 60 seconds each side

Mason twist – 50 reps

REST for 60 seconds

REPEAT

Did you make it? Still with me? Awesome. Bring on the cupcakes.

My favorite arm workout – in 30 minutes or less

Good morning! Happy Wednesday!

Reader request this morning! I’ve compiled visuals from around the web, to help illustrate an arm workout I put together. I do this workout at least 2 times a week and find it’s all I need to keep my arms toned. I use 10 pound dumbbells, but if you are just starting our I recommend starting with 5 pounds or less. If you are already ripped, feel free to increase the weight as well!

This workout includes my favorite exercises from classes I’ve taken, workout videos — even P90x. It’s become my go-to workout and always leaves my arms burning. Added bonus - the whole routine usually is finished within 30 minutes. Enjoy!
