Ouch! I tried out this new workout I got in my most recent edition of Women's Health magazine during lunch on Tuesday. As I was doing the exercises, I was thinking "this isn't really doing much." I didn't really feel much of anything but awkward when I was doing them. Then Tuesday night rolled around. My abs already started talking to me. They have only gotten worse since then! Last night I couldn't even lift my head in bed because they hurt so bad. This morning I just coughed and nearly fell out of my chair. So, I guess it is safe to say the workout is effective. I am going to switch out exercises #6 and #7 for other similar exercises because I fell off the ball and landed on my coffee table when trying #6, and #7 just didn't do it for me. But, I'm taking the challenge! They say if I do the workout 2-3 times for a month I will have noticeable results. My coworker Roxzan is on the "Rock Solid Abs" bandwagon too. We will see how long this actually lasts, but so far, so good, and so painful!

That is you, right?
But then again I am a full time fitness professional and Pilates trainer.
LOVE the side planks!!!
Ab pain is the worst-- you think it's not going to come and then it knocks you on your hiney. I'm sure you'll be doing that stuff with ease in no time. And you DO have nice abs.
Not that I've been looking or anything.
