I was watching an infomercial this morning (Ab Coaster) and I was thinking, if this was a year ago, I would have bought it. Just like that! I was so ab obsessed (still am), but now I know that I can get beautiful-bodacious-glorious six pack abs at home... with barely any equipment. And it's basically free!
Tonight is the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.. So go to a party, watch the awards show, and gorge yourself... because we starve ourselves starting Monday. Just kidding!
But we do start our cleansing and detoxification program. So, although there will be no strict daily food intake regiment this week. Eat old school, eat your three big meals daily. And it is very important not to skip meals, the detoxification program consists of a three step formula of: packets, capsules, and powders. The program highly recommends that you take them with food. So eat up! And poop your hearts out. Haha... Just kidding!

It's Saturday... do you know where your workout is?
Ha! It has been a successful week for the SuperStarter Workout Plan.
I must tell you that I have did this workout every single day. And I am sore! I'm thinking we will do the same next week? Hmmm. I haven't decided yet.
But, we will definitely and finally start the "Raw Cleanse" which is the ultimate standard in cleansing and detoxification. Again, as I stated in previous posts... the brand name is Garden of Life and it's a fast acting (but not blow yur butt:) 7 day, triple detox formula. It supports healthy elimination and bowel health. Okay, okay I'm done. So go out and buy your detox today (you can find it at your local drug stores or health food stores), because we will definitely and finally start it Monday-February the 28th.

Ouchy McOucherson
My hamstrings are killing me so, I now have the swagger of an orangutan.
And I feel like someone shanked me in the obliques, in the prison courtyard. Ouch. Ouch! Anyways. I now say take it slow (to feel the stretch) and bend your knees a little, when doing the Toe Touch/Sky High Five move. It will relieve the stress and pull you put on your hamstrings, so you don't get hamstrung!
peace.

The idea behind my new workout.
Okay, so the SuperStarter Work Out is my creation.
I wanted something easy and simple to ease into. I definitely started this blog with some extreme big time goals with too many rules and other things to think about... ahh, that just frustrated me and made me give up too fast. So I chose to start out easy, like Sunday morning :)
Of course as you read in previous post. The SuperStarter Work Out consist of:
1st- Twist.
2nd- Toe Touch/Sky High Five.
3rd- Twist.
4th- Bicycle.
5th- Twist.
6th- Toe Touch/Sky High Five.
I chose the Twist, because I love to hate this move (you'll see), and it hurts a little. But I can feel it working my upper abs and obliques. This move will definitely trim your sides and give ya that cut down the center, that will keep your packs in place. And the faster you do it... you also get a cardio workout.
The Toe Touch/Sky High Five is something I came up with one morning while messing around. We all remember toe touches in grade school gym class. I wanted something a little more fun, so I modified it a lota bit. This move will tone your abs at the bend and give you a nice ssstretchhh... nice. Really reach for the sky on this one, trust me this stretch will soothe those abs. And also the faster you do it... you can get a cardio workout... and a cool breeze.
And the Bicycle is a classic move. I recommend starting the first set slow and controlled and then speed it up (for a cardio workout, of course). This move will tone your entire abdominals. You might even get a nice quad workout from this move.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember, drink plenty of water during and/or after this workout.
I have not yet timed this workout, I'm guessing it should take 20-25 minutes, but it doesn't matter how long it takes for ya. Just do all of the sets! Take your time. And enjoy!
Thank You.

Ready, Set, Go (A new start.) The new work out plan!
Okay, are you all still with me?
This workout plan starts tomorrow morning (2/21/11).
It's called the SuperStarter Workout (aka SSWO), it is a simple at home WO that combines AB workout & Cardio & Stretching all in one. It's easy & fast and it's perfect, well I think so. This workout will seem a bit on the bore side, but we will not move on to something else until we have determination and dedication and, and ahhh, it's just really a form of punishment for not being able to stick to this tummy melting adventure! There, I said it... but you were thinking it!
But, truly I am sincerely excited about this new work out! Here goes.
SuperStarter Workout:
1st- Twist.
2nd- Toe Touch/Sky High Five.
3rd- Twist.
4th- Bicycle.
5th- Twist.
6th- Toe Touch/Sky High Five.
1st- Twist= Abs engaged. Stand with legs shoulder width apart, bend knees a little. Arms curled, in front of chest, arms also shoulder width apart. And twist. Twist torso left to right. All while keeping head still and keeping feet planted. And Twist at a moderate speed. Twist to the Left and to the Right =count one. Exhale when to the left or right. Inhale in the center. Do three sets of twenty reps.
2nd- Toe Touch/Sky High Five= Abs engaged. Stand with legs a little more than shoulder width apart. Legs straight, don't bend knees. Arms straight out to sides (airplane like). Bend at waist, while taking right hand to touch left toe. All the while left arm and hand are reaching up for the sky. And up, into airplane like pose. Then bend at waist again, this time taking left hand to touch right toe. All the while right arm and hand are reaching up for the sky. Then while still in stance. Back into airplane pose. Reach right arm and hand diagonally into sky towards the left side, as if high fiving the sky. All the while left arm and hand goes out behind. And back to airplane pose. Next reach left arm and hand diagonally into sky towards the right side, as if high fiving the sky. All the while right arm and hand goes out behind. (For more of a stretch, your head and gaze can follow the arm) And back to airplane pose. Now start from the beginning. And alternate, and alternate. Left toe touch =one count, right toe touch =two count. Left sky high five =three count, right sky high five =count four.... Exhale at the bend. Inhale at the airplane pose. Exhale at the high five reach. Inhale at the air plane pose. Do three sets of forty reps.
3rd- Twist. Same as above.
4th- Bicycle= Abs engaged. Back on floor. Hands on side of head. Shoulder blades off floor. Legs up and off ground. Knees at about a 45 degree angle. Right elbow to your left knee. Extend leg... Then left elbow to your right knee. Extend leg... all while keeping legs off ground (doing a pedal like motion).Elbow to the right knee =count one. Elbow to the left knee =count two. Exhale with each elbow to knee touch. Inhale on the leg extension. Do three sets of twenty reps.
