38 inch waist to 30 inch. It was bad.

[Petra]

I think your strategy is to completely confuse me so that I just agree lol

 

Believe me. I don't look African. Lol

You are looking AWESOME, Babs!  Way to go, Girl!  :)

Sorry, Sarge, but that did make me LOL, but only because you pointed it out.  Suck it in next time.  :)

Or just wear it proud!

 

But I guess those were the old days, so now you wear it proud all different! :)

[Petra]

Ok.  When are we starting??  Monday or tomorrow??  I have been very lax - going to the gym like once a month, so maybe this is what I need to get a bump on spring tightening.  :)

 

I'm in! :)

I'm in! :)

I'm starting today. Here we go.

I usually do a pretty intense 10 min abs app a couple times a week, so I'm hoping changing it up will get better results.

Day 1. Done! Love how it starts off relatively easy. Lol

 

Remember to use your core when doing sit-ups and leg raises to prevent back injury.

You can feel a big difference when you do

i know!!  But we can't look ahead.....one day at a time!

 

Yay Rez and Tracey!!

[Petra]

So, should I do dishes, then go workout (she says in a procrastinating manner...)

 

I may take a before pic.  That way I can set an actual goal and really get motivated to see some results.  I would like to see some actual definition, instead of my cushy little wine gut & butt. haha

[babs609]

definitely a picture and/or measurements even if only for yourself :)

 

so far it's just me, tracey, and Rez who have done it...come on people :)  check in !

[Petra]

How do you do the leg raise?  On your back or standing?

[babs609]

On back. Hands under buttocks for comfort.

[Petra]

Ok.  Done!  I think I figured out the leg raises.  I took a couple of before pics (man, I need some sun). 

 

Gonna hit the eliptical for 10-20 minutes.  I'll take measurements before I shower and before I eat that yummy pasta I posted on the What's for Dinner thread.  lol

 

P.S. - planks sucked - gonna have to work on those for sure! :)

[Colleen]

At home I do planks every morning, I do five 2 minutes each.  Several times a week, we do the same stuff at the end of weight training classes.  I'm going to sit this one out, because I will never do that many crunches lol.  I also work the core out a lot in TRX.

 

I have to say though, since I started strengthening my core positive changes have happened.  From better posture to better digestion, many benefits:)
