View this post on Hive: ULOG 20181115 | U-FIT | Week 1.2 | 'No Longer An Excuse'
Well, I'm off to a great start for my fitness program. My ABS workout was planned for Wednesday however it completely (or conveniently) slipped my mind until it was way too late.
Even though I enjoy working out, the ABS is one area that you KNOW is gonna hurt and for that reason, I wonder if my mind is quite purposeful when it forgets about this workout.
For encouragement, my daughter whipped up a Mango Banana Honey Cinnamon Smoothie which was delicious, to say the least.

The other reason that's causing my schedule to run behind is that I need to purchase some new trainers... yes, I know I don't really need them but it helps me feel like I'm 'dressed for the occasion' and IMO, there's nothing more motivating than putting on new trainers to start a workout.
Update: Just got home from shopping and managed to pick up a pair (featured in my thumbnail) with 30% off, so this is no longer a viable excuse.
Under instruction from my trainer (daughter) I subbed out a couple of the exercises for ones that she suggested. She also suggested that I included a forward reach with the plank, however, since it was only my first Ab workout, this will be reserved for when I start to feel like I need the additional move.
THURSDAY - ABS
- Basic Crunch - 15 reps / 3 sets
- Oblique Crunch - 15 reps / 3 sets (left, right)
- Straight Leg Reach - 15 reps / 3 sets
- In-Out Crunch - 15 reps / 3 sets
- Plank - 60 secs / 3 sets (well, maybe it was only 2.5 sets lol... shh!)
Anyhoo, I'm starting to get into the swing of it and already feel better for having started.
Thanks for stopping by and reading my post, I really appreciate your time.
And remember to keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you're thinking!
