It's Hump Day

It's Wednesday, "Hump Day"....so here's a little ab workout to work on some of those humps and "lovely lady lumps" (thank you Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas).  It's a quick one, but definitely effective so give it a try!

Begin with a Straight Arm Plank- hold for 1 minute
Drop your right knee, then left so you're now on all fours, then straighten right knee then left until your back into your plank.  I like to get a little rhythm going with my knees..."down, down, up, up, down, down, up, up"- Repeat for 1 minute

Hold Straight Arm Plank again for 1 minute. (Watch that form!  Flat back!  If you're not feeling it in your abs then drop your hips a little lower)


After 1 minute, bring right knee up and out to right elbow, now the left knee out and around to left elbow. Repeat, continuing for 1 full minute.

Now relax, you've earned it:)  Repeat the whole series a couple times for a killer ab workout.
As I always say in my fitness classes, do what you can, so if 1 minute is too much to start with, then try 30 seconds.  Work your way up to 45 seconds then 1 minute intervals.


Happy Wednesday!
