10-20-30-40-50 Ab Workout

By Courtney 26 Comments

I’ve got a great ab workout for you all today!

Sooo, about that To-Do List from today…

  • Two clients at work
  • Meeting with a head pastry chef(!) <—more info to come! TONS of fun!
  • Picking up baking supplies
  • Baking some goodies
  • Attempting to figure out something for dinner(?)
  • Some decision making
  • Hopefully grabbing a little extra Vitamin D

Five out of seven ain’t so bad, even though I was really hoping to get some of that Vitamin D. BUT, I  did realize what else I was forgetting…my workout!

Shortly before that happened though, I was in need of something for lunch. The sun was shining, the weather was warm, and a craving for a smoothie bowl hit hard.

Today’s creation was my favorite Strawberry Almond Smoothie, bowl style, topped with some Kashi Go Lean Crunch and granola.

I think someone was upset that I wasn’t sharing…

IMG_4493

Sorry, bud. Smoothies aren’t for kitties.

Workout

Once that digested, it was time for a workout. I took yesterday off, thanks to some super sore muscles, courtesy of BodyPump. Today, however, I was back in the game! I wound up doing a variation of Brittany’s 10-10-10 Quick Interval Workout (same format, just switched up some of the moves), followed up with a quick and fun little ab workout.

10-20-30-40-50 abs

What To Do: Do 2-3 sets of the following exercises.

  • 10 sets of 10-second planks (resting knees for 3 seconds in between)
  • 20 floor leg lifts
  • 30 stability ball crunches
  • 40 side plank hip raises with dumbbell curl under side (20 per side)
  • 50 bicycle crunches

My entire core was on fiyah after that one. Winking smile

Post-workout snack…

IMG_4497

A piece of whole wheat toast with PB + PB (peanut butter + pumpkin butter). Simple, yet so delicious.

Dinner

After finishing up a little bit of baking this afternoon, it was finally time for dinner. I took some chicken out of the freezer earlier and marinated it in some Italian dressing, so Jay took care of cooking that up while I put together a couple salads.

IMG_4499

Nothin’ like a salad full of fresh veggies and a little cheese, am I right?

IMG_4501

I had Jay cook up my chicken with a little cheese, which I was planning on eating plain…

IMG_4503

But then this happened…

And it was a fabulous decision. Smile

Now it’s about time to go relax and hang out with the boys…have a good night everyone!

    Thanks for the great workout suggestion! And I agree with your chicken ON the salad decision… sometimes plain chicken bores me to tears, but throw it on top of a salad… delish! :)

    Bicycle crunches are one of my favorite! I also love jack knife standing crunches – they kick abs* <– see what I did there ;)

    I did your whole workout, just not the 30 stability ball crunches, since I have no ball at my house! Bring on the flat abs!

    Love smoothies in a bowl, I always have to add some crunch on top to make it more filling. Plain smoothies never fill me up properly. Great ab workout!

    As a certified personal trainer it seems best to do all those abs to failure if you can if not then when starting off make sure you take it easy or you won’t be able to get out of bed the next morning because your abs are so sore.
