Weekend Fail

So I went against my schedule of working out 5 days a week and giving myself two days for a break -- except for this past weekend.  I worked out Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... and that was it.  I decided friday would be my hangover/relax day, and then Saturday came and went without a workout. Whoops!

Sunday rolled around and I knew I had to get my ass in gear. Sunday is my day for upper body and abs. I dragged my friend to the gym and we started out with a simple warm up on the elliptical for 10 minutes and then got down to business. I went harder than usual because of the days I'd missed. Safe to say, I really felt it.

My friend also showed me a really good 8-minute ab workout that made me want to stab her during but totally worked. But here's a good tip: if you can't use your abs and find yourself using your neck, stop! Doesn't feel good the next day.

Add this video to the end of your routine and your abs will get a serious workout (sorry for the link, but for some reason it doesn't want to embed properly).

And just remember, kiddos...
