Change up crunch time
Even the best-conceived abdominal workouts get old. When was the last time you did something new during tummy time? Adding variety or intensity to your routine can not only help you stick to it, but also enhance your results. Today, challenge yourself to push your ab workout to another level by:
• Increasing everything you currently do by 5-10 reps.
• Tacking on a core stability exercise to the beginning or end of your usual reps (e.g., a plank pose).
Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine.
I challenge myself to change up crunch time. I will allow myself 6 minutes a day to reconstruct the appearance of my abs.
i will stick to 10 mins a day to finally get rid of my tummy fat
It is so easy to get stuck in a routine… I am challenging myself to be more creative with my crunch time… I will start by increasing the time I spend on my ab work!
I do 100 crunches every night but I also incorporate Pilates 3 nights a week into my routine. It helps to work different muscles of the abs.
I will commit 5 minutes every day to my abs to help get back to my pre baby tummy faster! : )
I challenge myself to stick with doing a set of crunches every night
Another way to add intensity to the ab workout is adding weight. When doing situps, hold a 5-10 pound weight on your chest. A stability ball adds so much to the ab workout. Plus, you can use it for other strength training exercises.
Do as much as you can in one day, then add one more everyday. If you can only do 20 crunches starting out, you’ll end up doubling that amount in 3 weeks. If you are really committed, you will most likely be able to increase by more and will triple or quadruple the amount by then.
i have the AbRocker so I am up to 50 aday probably not as hard as regular crunches but my tummy feels the pain but I know it is helping me reach my goals.
I’m going to start with 25 crunches a night, then add 5 more each night until I’m up at a good level. Maybe I’ll have a better tummy than I did before baby this way!!
I do about 4 ab exercise per day, I will add 2 new ones, starting with 15 reps of each one and increase reps by 5 every 3 day!
before i go to bed every night, ido crunches and every week i add 10-15 more
Today I did high bicycles on a Roman chair at the gym for 30 seconds. ouch.
I to 125 crunches and leg raises every night.
adding in a stability ball can vary up your routine in a good way.
I challanged myself to crunch time and it has made me feel better about myself. I think I will keep it up for a week or so.
I have a standing 10min ab workout on video. I challenge myself to commit to this three days a week. Plus 10 of other ab workouts the rest of the week.
I challenge myself to start doing crunches and leg lifts four days a week. I want to build up too using the wheel stretch.
I commit to completing crunch work out before sitting down to watch tv.
