I try to stop being crap & get awesome smart-ass abs in just 7 days! (or not)

So, today i officially started my 7 day ab workout. Last night i made the video above as a wee intro. Over the next 7 days i’ll be doing 4 days of intense-ish exercises (3 days resting muscles), cutting out the sugar in my tea and all kinds of stupid things to make me more boring. BUT BORING IS WORTH IT!

BECAUSE YOU’RE WORTH IT!

Like hannah i have done the ole “before shot” and will follow up with an after shot to see what a difference i have made. I want to look like i’m smuggling potatoes under my t-shirt. That’s what we’re going for!


Anyway, here is today’s workout that i just completed. If you have any good suggestions then send them this way, i need all the help i can get!

  1. 3 x 20: v-situps (30 sec rest br)
  2. 5 x 20 secs: bicycle situps (10 sec rest br)
  3. 8 x 20 secs: oblique situps/stretches (10 sec rest br)
  4. 20: sitting russian twists with 6KG medicine ball
  5. 20: russian twist situps with 6KG medicine ball
  6. 2 x 2mins: leg raises (30 sec rest br)
  7. 2 x 30: standing oblique reaches with 6KG medicine ball (30 each side)
  8. 20: 2 point plank (10 each side)
  9. 2 minute stationary plank
  10. 20: downward facing situps on swiss ball
  11. 20: jack-knife’s on swiss ball
  12. 5 minutes of arm crossover situps
  13. 2 minutes of leg raises
  14. 20: sitting russian twists, legs off ground, no weight
  15. 10: situps on swiss ball with 6KG medicine ball behind head

Now, i don’t think that’s a lot, but we’ll see :) I actually think i have a slow metabolism so i’m swimming upstream but still determined to get there!

Check back in 7 days.

Oh… and check out Hannah’s original post: stop the pooch

Snoop Dogg makes a bootleg of “Eastern Jam” by Chase & Status


What the Fizzle!!! Have you heard Snoop Dogg’s bootleg of Drum n Bass/Dubstep producers Chase & Status? I never thought i’d see the day! But then i remember when Rick Ross slowed down Simian Mobile Disco’s track “Hustler”. So maybe it’s the new thing!!!? You tell me. Either way, i am 100% down….. and i don’t even like the Dog man.
