Feb. Fab Abs Challenge- with ab workouts in #63 (UPDATED 2-6-07)

Ok Last Feb. we had our first Ab challenge so I figured why not again. 

10mins of exercise focused on Abs each day.  Take your waist Measurements on Feb 1st, post them here and we will retake them the last day of Feb and see how everyone did.

If you are interested let me know and I can/will post some great ab workouts for beginners up to some more challenging exercises.

10 minutes is all Im asking! and if you are doing the Minutes challenge, this gives you an extra 70 mins a week! :)

Ok its a challenge for sure now!

Here is a link for taking measurements(if anyone knows a better site, post away!)

I'm interested.

I need to work on the love handles too.

I'm in! I do 10 minutes of abs about 4 times a week as is, but this will motivate me even more! :D

ok gals!!!! Let me know what level you are at and if you have any ab workouts that would benefit others- POST them!!!

I have never done ab's, sorry.  I am a newbie for that.  I walk 1 hour everyday fast pace level surface.  I bike too.  Other then that, I need to learn proper excercises for the abs.  So yes, I'm a newbie.

canadianchick...you know I will get some exercises to you! :)

Oko- dont get overwhelmed by the info on these post, there were so much info, I thought it would be easier to just copy the threads over.  Tons of exercises and links listed.

Slappy you rock thank you!!!!

Off to get that tape measure.

Cool!  I promise you will drop at least 1-2 inches!

k I know a few others are going to get in on this...Rahana? Obsydian? 

I in and a newbie. please be kind!!!!

10mins Julielet!  You will do great!

10 min of abs a day. That is a great way to get my back into the exercise routine.  Sign me up. I will post my measurements on the 1st. This sounds great!

AWESOME!!!!

FYI>>>>>

WE dont have to wait til Feb. 1st to get started guys.  If everyone wants to we can start  This coming Monday and continue thru Feb.

Why wait????

I started tracking this when I started really working my abs hard months ago. I have been doing 15 minutes of ab work, 6 days/week. I have added weights in the last month and had phenomenal results (almost a six pack). My stats are posted in my profile. I have a great routine right now, but improvements can be made.

Maybe I can tweak my routine and add extra weight work or new exercises. I will join in on this. I don't have a lot of inches to lose, but anything is good!

great job shill!  I know you have worked hard!  if you have any tips or exercises you think others will benefit from please share! :)


When I started Last Jan. my waist was 36 inches and I dropped it down to 30 and now Im back up to 31.5 so I want to see those 20's!!!!

Im going to get that six pack back!

I will have to post my daily routine. A trainer at the Y gave me a plan and I have tweaked it and added or changed things to maximize my results. I think I will add it to my profile some time today. (Note to all that I have drastically changed my diet to lean foods and stick closely to a 30-30-40 balanced diet ratio. Also, I lift weights (great effort) 3-4 times a week.) These things are key to truly great abs!

Thanks Shill!

I'm totally in.  The problem is, my waist seems to stick at 34.  So is it ok to focus on the midriff?  10 lbs up, 10 lbs down, waist was still 34.  Hmm.

I am up for this. I just need the exercise list so I have some idea what I am doing. Will measure this weekend and "Start Monday" if that is ok with u all.

sounds good flag and pooh!

If you guys are comfortable I will post your start measurements by your name.
