Whittle your Middle!


Today you are going to literally "whittle your middle"!!
Your workout today will consist of:
30 second plank
30 regular crunches
30 second plank
30 second side plank
30 second side plank - other side
30 second plank
30 second V sit

....and because you can't forget the lower back, finish off your workout today with 30 Alternating Supermans.

This is worth 1 bonus point.

I jusy did this workout, and you'll definitely feel it by the end! Good luck!

Jack Sh*t, Gettin' Fit said...

I broke into a sweat just reading the workout.

Jocelyn said...

Nice! This will be a great workout on my day off ;) I will also work on my recipe today! :)

jesstyler said...

holy smokes! I just did this ... I'm glad I checked the site before I showered after my run this morning! This is killer! Thanks for making me hurt ;)

~Tammy said...

Thank you, I think! That was killer, but I loved it. I wasn't really lovin' on you, but I will when I'm leaner and meaner.

You rock, always!

Thanks again.

Since I already have a training session today on which I'll be working on abs, I'm going to have to pass on this one. However, I also want to see what kinds of numbers people put up week one :-) Let's just say I'm well on my way already, haha

GREAT workout! Just finished it and my abs are TIRED!!!

Hotch Potchery said...

As someone who rarely, if ever, does abs, this was TOUGH!

Life, Health and Fitness said...

And this was an awesome 12 min mini work out!!! :)

Bethiej said...

Did it! Phew!!!

Alea said...

Holy shit Batman! You must have abs of steel. It was really tough for me but I did it. YAY! And I even have the ugly pictures to prove it...

Fun, but it took me a little longer than average to complete. I kept having to catch my breath. I'll have to do this again, and again, and again. Hubby is going to use it with his kickboxing ladies on Friday. Good abs mean you can take a punch easier.

Nat said...

I just got back from three hours of walking around downtown. I'll do this demain instead of my usual abs work out

Kelly said...

This was SO hard for me! But it feels so good after! I'm loving this 15 week challenge already :D

Krista said...

I did it after my run today too....I even have evidence on my blog :)

Lynne said...

Wow, I was definitely feeling this by the end. The last V sit was hard, but I mad eit through the entire exercise.

Lex said...

Ok 1st workout wednesday - DONE!
I have a LOT of work with Planks to do....
I feel great now and I'm sooo ready for this 15week challenge!

Shari said...

I totally FORGOT to do this! Wednesdays are NOT good for me to do workouts like this at all. Ugh!! Oh well. Congrats to everyone else who did it. You all rock.

Lost and Found said...

The workout was just what I needed to wake up my core. Thanks!!!

Here's also a link to recipe that I made for the week.

Not technically my recipe, but it's a new one to me and will be using the technique of adding pumpkin and applesauce to make some baked goods (and these cookies again!!) for 4th of July weekend. Thanks!

Prin said...

Just fininshed and boy am I tried.

Syl said...

Lainey said...

A Haiku for Amy:
Whittle my Middle
Such an easy sounding task
The Pain, oh the Pain.

I was out and about already celebrating Canada Day when you posted this. I will be doing it tonight before my run, and I don't think I am looking forward to it ;P

I have a question (You must be getting sick of those! LOL) -- do we actually have to do this ON Wednesday for it to count? Or can we do it anytime by the end of the week? I definitely plan to do it either way but I just didn't have time yesterday. :)

Karen said...

Didnt get a chance to do the workout. Couldnt remember it when I got home and don't have internet at home.

Posted my recipe on my blog www.karenevolving.blogspot.com.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Plank KILLS me, so I know it's gotta be good for me!

chezjulie said...

Amy, you're not kidding around! That was a serious ab shredder. I hope those of us who can't do it on Thursday still get to count it.

Krista said...

Amy: Just reporting that I didn't do it. Sigh... I did run my first 10K ever though on the 4th of July. Thanks again for inspiring us all.
