Upper Body + Abs Ladder Workout

Okay, I am gonna be honest with ya. My abs were sore for days after this workout.

It was awesome!

I love it when my abs are sore, don’t you? (Hate it when my tush and calves are sore though.)

Now, the one thing I know that made those abs of mine work double time was the use of a stability ball in the workout.

However, if you do not have a ball – no worries! I show how each exercise can done using the ground.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s go!

Low Impact Lower Body and Core Workout

35-Minute Low Impact Lower Body and Core Workout

It is way more fun to workout with a friend. Don’t you agree?

Yeah, most of us tend to workout alone (due to schedules, busy lives etc). But… when we can workout with a buddy it just makes the workout that much better.

We’ve got someone to sweat with, laugh with, commiserate with.

Someone who can take our mind’s off what we are doing.

And, today’s workout I have myself a workout buddy.

My co-pilot for today’s workout is Steve Dotto (www.dottotech.com).

Steve’s a good friend of mine, a member of The Studio, and one of my mentors who helps direct me, and my business, in the right direction.

I had fun filming this workout (more than Steve I think), and I hope you have fun too!

Lamest Excuses [not to exercise] I’ve Heard in 24 Years of Training

I just had my hair done.
I’m too old.
I get too hungry after a workout.
I’m too tired.
I don’t have time.
I need to get fit before I join with you.
It’s too painful.
I’ve already showered and don’t want to shower again.
I had garlic last night and don’t want to stink up the gym.
I just don’t feel like it.

All Levels Strength & Abs Workout

All Levels Strength & Abs

This workout is perfect for all levels of fitness and only requires one pair of moderate sized weights – and pretty much everyone has a pair of dumbbells lying around.

TIP: If you don’t have any dumbbells, head to Varage on Facebook, or Craig’s List to pick some up cheap. Or, don’t bother with the fuss of hunting a pair down second-hand and head to your local fitness store. Expect to pay $1.19 – $1.49 a pound.

In my All-Levels Strength & Abs Workout I have set it up so if you don’t have time for my special ab drill you can cut the workout short and skip the abs.

But… if you are cutting out early cause you just don’t feel like doing the abs, know that for every ab crunch not performed an angel loses its wings.

So, don’t be responsible for angel cruelty.

Hehehe.

Cardio and Upper Body Workout

This workout is a:

20-minute low impact cardio workout

20-minute upper body and abs workout

43 minutes of fitness fun

Loving husband is back with me, moaning and groaning his way through the whole thing.

It’s pretty funny.

What doesn’t kill you

I am a big believer in pushing your limits (loving husband would be my yin to my yang).

This is how we see change in the body. And that, my friend, is why most of us workout.

With that said I urge you to ensure you are using a heavy enough dumbbell for this workout (and for that matter for all of your workouts), so that you are truly challenging yourself.

This principle applies no matter what fitness level you are at.

Because to see change we must challenge ourselves.
