Thanks for the demo and the reminder! I need to do these more regularly!

I just recently started taking dance classes again — Jazz Dance at the local community college. Let me tell you, it’s kicked my ass into better shape so quickly it’s crazy! And my abs (including the sides and back muscles) are getting very strong– and not a single crunch in sight. In fact, not much real focus on exercising the abs, we just end up using the core a lot to do the warmup and dance moves. I also recently changed up my diet due to health issues and that’s made a big difference as well….

I’m not big on doing exercise for exercise sake– I can do it for a while, but I get bored, so doing something I really like that “happens” to work out my body is what works for me!!

crunches or sit-ups. ? . I dunno. I know I should do them, do I, no. But – you make it look so easy, so I will push myself to add them. 5 a day can’t hurt, can it?!

BUT…I noticed you didn’t do a full sit UP. You just did a crunch. Those are better? My trainer always has me do a crunch too, and mixes it up like you recommended but just wondering what happened to the sit-up!

Okay, you got me down on the floor! I haven’t done these in ages… Learned proper form and breathing in Pilates, so I really have no excuse.

I love your floors!

You look so awesome doing those! Now I’m getting all motivated. 5 a day, hm?

My big problem is I spend hardly any time in the kitchen doing stuff, so I don’t get to do kitchen exercises. And I’m not sure there’s room for me to lie down on the floor…

Hi Miz!

I remember you talking about your 6 mini meals which I put into practice…but my middle is still in need of “whittling” and that is what I am doing!

I AM doing planks and love it but some days I feel it more in my shoulders..so I think I am seriously needing to watch my form.

I don’t care if I have “packs” just not “smoosh”!

working on it!

Thanks!

We were on the same page today! Crunches!!! I do so many different ones with & without weights, stability ball & not, BOSU & not, planks of all varieties, obliques, ones that target the lower tummy more… sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many! I commented to a question from SB Steve about this & how I have an arsenal of ones I choose from…. I like to mix it up BUT I always keep the planks in there.

AND YES, YOU HAVE TO GET OFF WHAT IS OVER THE ABS TO SEE THEM… MEANING CLEAN UP THE FOOD!

I do crunches. I do plank. I have no 6 pack abs. I don’t think age and gravity are on my side in this. I keep at it though. One of these days I might be surprised that all remaining flab has fled. One day … I dream.
