I actually HAVE been doing a mini abs workout.
Two weeks ago I shared this image from a friend:
And this post: http://www.thetiredgirl.com/2013/03/gym-poster-life-change.html
The image (and swimsuit season) got me thinking about my abs as well.
So what I've been doing:
I lay flat on my couch and reach my hands above my head to hold on to the arm of the couch. I keep my legs together and lift both legs in the air bending at the waist. I lower them (but not all the way) and repeat.
I like this because it's an exercise that truly involves laying on your couch. Watching tv, getting my abs awesome (maybe), watching more tv. I think it only involves some of your ab muscles, but I'm okay with that for now.
It hurts like crap so I am either injuring myself or about to get ripped (or realistically somewhere in the middle). I do three reps of between 10-15 and each time I do just one extra crunch - to push myself - so I have better tomorrow of course (see image).
Unfortunately when you push yourself physically you have a more painful tomorrow - the poster left that out.
Here are some possibly ill-conceived images of me demonstrating these super complicated moves. I put a filter on them to make them more interesting and less weirdly personal.


If you know that this is a terrible way to work your abs, or these moves will permanently injure me - please let me know so that I can stop.
