I Want Six Pack Abs! Workout

Hi Everyone!
When you scroll down to view today’s workout breakdown you will notice that this one has a few exercises with higher reps than the previous ones I have posted. Don’t worry! You can do it! Take breaks if you need too. J Move from one exercise to the next as quickly as you can, and don’t forget to take a few quick water breaks! I don’t want anyone dehydrating out there!
I enjoyed today’s workout, and I hope you do too. As part of my fitness journey I have decided to incorporate more vegetables into my diet. I love veggies so this isn’t really a problem for me, but it’s been interesting. I have been trying to have at least one veggie with every meal. (IE scrambled eggs with spinach, a sandwich with a side of broccoli, etc). If you’re like the majority of the world you probably aren’t getting enough vegetables either. Did you know half your plate should be veggies, ¼ meat and ¼ starch to meet the recommended guidelines?
I would love to hear about some fun veggie recipes, so feel free to share!

  1. Great workout, and yes we should all have more than five servings of produce daily. When I wake up, I eat a few raw carrots with my water before my coffee and my breakfast to kick start my veggies for the day.Thanks for sharing with us.

  2. This workout was hard! Too hard for someone trying to get back into shape, I'm afraid. I laughed pretty hard on the tricep push-ups. With a 38G/H bra size, I could not even being to push up. My bust filled all the available space! I did a lot of substitutions for this workout. Still got a good sweat, but didn't feel much in my abs, unfortunately.
