Since November is Abs Month...

I'm staying in theme!

I said in my earlier post Abs are

FIRST made in the Kitchen (*clean diet, proper water intake)
SECOND Made during Sleep (6 - 8 hours, restful sleep, nightly)
and THIRD with Abs WORK (varied planes of focus; with resistance)

FACT: It takes 250,000 crunches to burn 1 lb of fat. (Thats 100 crunches/day for 7 years!!)
I consistently *Preach* about water intake & post yummy, healthy & clean recipes. I can't force you to sleep, But to help you work the muscles...

Here's an Abs Cypher that I find REALLY gets that deep belly-burn!

***
Do each exercise for 30sec, with 10sec rest between exercises.
Do 1-3 rounds. 1minute rest between rounds.

• Elbow Plank
• Plank Hip Dips (*dips the hips side to side, without bending at the waist)
• Plank Hip Tucks (*plank position, tuck tailbone under and release, holding core tight)
• Plank Up & Downs (*raise from elbows to palms, alternate sides)
• Banana Rolls (*on stomach, raise chest using rear-core, flip onto back in banana shape using front-core)
• Jack Knife (*on back, arms overhead, draw the body up to a balanced position with legs drawn into chest)
• V-sit hold (*Final position of Jackknife, seated balance position)
• 1/2 V-sit Kick-out (*seated balance position, 1 foot on ground, straighten opposite leg, kicking up&down)
• 1/2 V sit Scissors (*same position, both legs up moving in & out simultaneously)
• Seated Core Twist (*Feet up or down, full twist side to side, fist to ground)

It's a TORCHER (*get it, Torture/Torcher)
and it gets the people GOING!
