April Ab Adventure. aka. AAA
For the next month I have another marvelous plan to get into shape...a good shape hopefully :) and preferably not a circle....not a fan of that shape...it's to circly. I prefer a trim hourglass shape. Anyway. I am very serious about this plan. It's a month that I focus on my mid section. So I have put together this ab workout with the help of the the glorious internet and a schedule that I am going to do Mon-Fri with a one day break during the week if needed, for the whole month of April. My exceptions are sickness, emergencies or ab injuries.

Workout Plan: The Super Set

This technique uses two exercises in combination. You perform the first ab exercise, and then move immediately to the second ab exercise with no rest.
After you complete the second ab exercise rest, before repeating the sequence again.
Example: crunches, plank, rest, crunches, plank, rest, crunches, plank, rest.

Super Set 1:
Crunches and Leg Raises. Do 10 crunches and then move directly to 20-30 sec of leg raises.

Super Set 2:
Russian Twists and Oblique Crunches: Do 10 repetitions of the seated Russian Twists and then do 10 oblique crunches, then rest.

Super Set 3:
Bicycle Crunches and Plank Pose. Do 10 repetitions bicycle crunches then without rest do 20-30 sec in plank.

I can change up the exercises if desired.

Do a super set three times through then go on to the next super set until you finish all three sets or do all three sets in a row three times...its a lot of work but it will pay off. I plan to add another super set when I feel ready. You should join in and do it too or make your own April Ab Adventure!!!

Also, I finally for once in my life found someone who I can start a running plan with. I really want to do the Freedom 5K on July 4th. I believe I can do it.

Here is the link to the plan I am following.
It's called The Couch-to-5K Running Plan.
