Bumming... Today I did not run. I set out, had all my gear on, and my calf was at it again. It feels like someone is trying to slice through my calf muscles with a knife when I run on it. So six miles turned into a 45 minute strength session. I heard a rumor that it is impossible to drink beer and have a six-pack. I call bologna, and I would like to prove it wrong. Just kidding. I have never had a six-pack, and quite frankly don't desire one. I would like to have slim "sexy" abs though, with just some subtle lines. Since I'm not giving up beer, I will have to prove that this can be done with on a moderate diet of booze. I actually found an excellent ab workout on Pinterest and have been doing it three times a week for the past two weeks. I would like to think I can see some difference, but that could be my imagination. Does anyone else start looking at themselves in the mirror way too soon after doing a few hard work outs? I do. I catch myself checking out my abs or legs or whatever after a particularly hard workout, thinking that my muscles are all of a sudden bulging. After I snap myself out of my delusions, I realize it still is a confidence boost and makes me feel good about working hard. Here is the ab workout if you would like to try it yourself: 30 Crunches 20 Bicycle Crunches 30 Toe touches 20 Reverse Crunches 15 Side Plank Crunches (Right Side) 30 Crunches 15 Side Plank Crunches (Left Side) 40 Russian Twists 30 Bicycle Crunches 15 Oblique V-Ups (Right Side) 20 Reverse Crunches 15 Oblique V-Ups (Left Side) 10 Leg Lifts You can find the whole segment following this link: Or by following @YouMeFit on Twitter Hopefully by tomorrow I will be able to run around on this leg. Until then.
