The video below was recorded for a home office fitness challenge that I created to help my fellow work at home moms and dads incorporate fitness into their busy work days. I thought that you would enjoy this abs workout as well.

Abs Workout At Home

Here are the exercises in this at home abs workout:

1) Side Plank
2) Plank with Side Crunch
3) 1 Dumbbell Twist
4) Stability Ball Sit Ups
5) Jackknife
6) Butt Ups with a Twist
7) Shoulder Lifts
Reverse Crunch
9) Ball Pass
10) Pelvic Tilt

Perform 10 reps for each of the above exercises. If you don’t take any rest between exercises you should be able to complete this abs workout in less than 9 minutes. Yep, it’s a quickie

In most cases I only train my abs twice per week at most. On occasion I will over-train them for a week just to shock the heck out of them.

If you are serious about sculpting a tighter tummy you will need to clean up your eating habits and adopt a more active lifestyle overall, especially if you want to maintain a flat stomach for the long term.

Enjoy the workout! As usual, your comments and feedback are greatly appreciated.

You ROCK!

Long duration cardio does have it’s place in an active and healthy lifestyle and it certainly does contribute to an effective fat loss program. But when it comes to seriously boosting your metabolism it’s the shorter, more intense, interval type cardio combined with resistance exercises that really does the trick.

But the success of any fat loss program all boils down to compliance… Sticking with it and following through for the long term. I have found that the best way to comply with a fat loss program is to add the ‘FUN’ element to it. If you do something that you enjoy it will be easier to stick with.

One of the ways that I like to make at home cardio fun is by turning it into a challenge. Here’s one fun at home cardio session that presents a fun challenge as well…

Fun At Home Cardio Challenge

I absolutely love it when I see one of my blog readers take me up on a challenge and share how the experience went for them. The video below is by a gentleman who goes by the name “Fat Old Man”.

As he states in the video, “this workout is more difficult than it looks”. I like to hear that because at first glance some people may brush off one of my home workout videos because they’re not convinced about the impact that it will have. That’s why I encourage you to at least perform the workout once and see how it feels.

Video Response To 100 Rep Squat Challenge

The 100 rep squat is just one way to make at home cardio fun. There are so many different ways that you can progress. You can begin by using just your own body weight and then use some light dumbbells and progress with the weight each week. You can decrease the rest period and try to complete the workout faster than you did the previous week. Or you can do a combination of the two.

Another way that you can create a fun at home cardio challenge with squats is to see how many reps you can do in 10 minutes. Again, you can progress by increasing the weight a bit each week, or increasing the number of reps that you are able to do in 10 minutes by decreasing your rest periods.

Give the 100 Rep Squat at home cardio session a try. Time yourself and see how quickly you can complete it while still using proper form. During the next three weeks I’m expecting you to progress in one way or another.

Keep me posted on your progress and share your experience with the rest of us here by commenting in the box below.

What am I talking about? I’m talking about the TRUTH. Let’s face it – most of us are not completely honest with ourselves when it comes to what we are eating. Do you really tell the truth when someone asks you what you are eating to lose weight? Usually not. This is the problem. If you want results, I mean the REAL DEAL, you need to be completely honest with yourself.

I want to tell YOU that I am eating totally clean today. There I did it. I am going to tell my husband too. Why? Because I know that once I tell you, now I will do it. Simple as that. Wow, it feels so great now that I just made myself accountable to all of you.

I’ve been totally rockin’ it with my home workouts. I’m working out 5 days/week, yet still picking at snack foods that I know are not good for me! They are only in the house for lunches for the kids and I do like to bake them cookies for their lunch. I know I just need to get myself in the right mental frame to make the changes.

I’m telling you though, once you speak your goals OUT LOUD, you will be much more likely to stick to
your plan. TELL SOMEONE TODAY. It’s powerful!

Have a great day and weekend!

If you are joining us live there is a chat box where you can have a back and forth conversation with us. I’m really interested to see what you think about the live video broadcast and if you find it any more helpful than webcasts or the traditional teleseminars that you may have been a part of.

The thing that I like about the video broadcast is that I can demonstrate an exercise or movement and you can visually see it, rather than me trying to explain it over the phone.

We are really looking forward to answering your questions tonight and plan on doing many more of these live video broadcasts to deliver the best possible quality information to you.

Have an absolutely amazing day!
