I have told ya’ll in several posts about my workouts and what I typically eat throughout the day, but I still am getting lots of questions about my workouts, and I love talking about health and fitness so I figured I would show you my favorite ab work outs that I do!!! Please leave a comment below if you have any questions or if there are any other body part you would like to see my exercises!
Before my workout I eat a LARABAR. I am addicted to these things! They give me just enough energy but without making me feel so full that I don’t want to work out! I go to bed thinking about my morning LARABAR! They were so generous to send me 4 LARABAR flavors to try that I can not find in stores here. My Favorites are Peanut Butter Cookie, Carrot Cake, Coconut Cream Pie, and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip!!!
If you can not do the 2-3 sets to start, you can do just 1 set of each exercise and slowly work in the other 2 sets!!! 🙂
Also, I know its hard, but on the exercises where you are laying on your back, focus on keeping your abs in and your back flat on the ground. To reset your back, tuck knees to your chest and then restart exercise!
Side Plank with a Dip (2-3 Sets of 12) Each side
Focus on squeezing your abs the whole time!
Side Plank with a Kick (2-3 Sets of 12) Each side
These are going to burn right after your side planks with a dip..KEEP GOING!
Reverse Crunch (2-3 sets of 20)
On this first picture, you can see my back is too arched, I should have reset my back here!
Bicycle Crunch (2-3 Sets of 20 (10 each leg))
Do these slowly but without stopping, your abs are supposed to be burning!
Regular Crunch (2-3 Sets of 20)
Again, my back is too arched!!!
Leg Lifts ( 2-3 Sets of 20)
If you put your hands under your booty, it will help keep your back on the ground, I sometimes like to challenge myself and place my hands to the side!
(yes. my son is playing in our moving boxes!!)
Table Top Toe Touch (2-3 sets of 20)
Place your legs at 90 degrees and slowly lower them to the ground keeping them bent and touch your toes to floor. Slowly raise back up to 90 degrees. This is great for lower abs.
Twist and Touch (2-3 Sets of 20 (10 each side))
Try to keep your feet off the ground the whole time! You can modify this by placing feet on the ground with knees bent, stay reclined.
Inclined Crunch (2-3 Sets 20)
Stay elevated. Do not lay all the way flat.
Stretch out Abs and work lower back (2-3 Sets and hold for 20 seconds)
You can always swim it out during these 20 seconds. Try to not spread your legs super far apart!
HYDRATE! HYDRATE! HYDRATE!
Drink water in between each set!
Glitter Headband and Hairtie: C/O MaddyLoo
Sports Bra: JC Penny
Exercise Pants: Old Navy
I do not know why, but when I do arm and ab exercises, I love to work out barefoot!

Hey doll!! Thanks for following!!! I am headed to yours now!!!!
Excellent idea! I love the concept. It demonstrates what the industry is prepared to. For me, personally, the question does not arise how to make it cheaper, but how to make it better!
