Detox Day...
Question of the day:
Is a detox day dangerous when your aunt Flo is visiting? Nah, I doubt it... just go with the flow. Hehe...
I wanted to change the workout plan, (but... in a nutshell, I got lazy. Can't blame time, right. I work like 50 some hours a week, party maybe 14 hours every other week, work out like 2 hours a week, and do creative writing many, many hours a day :) Oh, I guess I can blame time! Time is, of the essence!)
But, there is one thing I want to add to the SuperStarter Work Out.
Add a basic crunch after the Bicycle. And now we'll call this Work Out SuperStarter+
Basic Crunch= Abs engaged. Back on floor. Hands on side of head. Knees bent, feet on floor. Lift shoulder blades off floor (use your abs), as if trying to bring chest towards your feet. And crunch. And slowly lower shoulders back to floor. Exhale on the crunch. Do three sets of ten reps.
SuperStarter+ Workout:
1st- Twist.
2nd- Toe Touch/Sky High Five.
3rd- Twist.
4th- Bicycle.
5th- Basic Crunch.
6th- Twist.
7th- Toe Touch/Sky High Five.

A night with Oscar.
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.

*Take a couple swigs of water (also drink plenty of water during and after WO).

*And... start your day.
REMEMBER always engage your ABs (meaning keep stomach/abs in and up) all day long.
