AB Workout (upon request)

I actually found it in a magazine a long time ago, it'd called the "beyonce ab workout"!  

1. You start by doing 50 regular crunches (with your feet in the air or on the ground)

2. You do 25 side crucnhes (bend your legs 90 degrees and turn them to one side. One leg is on top of the other one but your back stays flat on the ground) and then your turn your legs to the other side and do 25 more.  

3. You do 100 bicycle crunches (regular crunch form only you twist your upper body trying to touch your right shoulder to your left knee and extending the right leg parallel to the ground, and then doing the same for your left shoulder and right knee). You count to 100 by twisting your right shoulder to your left knee as one and then twisting your left shoulder to your right knee as two).

4. You end with 50 "froggie" cunches. You are in the regular crunch form only the bottoms of your feet are touching each other and your knees are bent out to the sides of your body (ie you look like you have frog legs when you do this one...which is usually why I do it in my room before I go to bed...and not in public)

5. LASTLY you do a 30 second standard plank.

It's pretty hard the first few times you do it but it definitely gets easier!

MY STAY IN SHAPE FOR SUMMER PLAN

So I'm not exactly a workout-aholic,  I certainly don't deprive myself of yummy treats and I'm certainly no nutritionist but when it comes to staying healthy and getting in shape for summer I'm all about it and I don't go to any extremes to do so.  I just figured everyone was doing the same so I thought I'd share my skinny  secrets with the world.  

#1: I drink 15 glasses of water a day...I know "they" say 8 but you can never drink too much water.  The blood in the human body is 83% water, the brain is 74% water, and the muscles are 75% water.  That's a lotttta water...so you can only imagine how much of an "H2O hoe" your bod is (especially in summer)!  Drinking lots of water not only speeds up metabolism it completely hydrates your skin as well.  You'll be skinny, you'll metabolize food much faster, and your skin will glow.  DRINK WATER.

#2: I run 2 miles at least every other day.  Running is an "all-over" body workout and so good for you. 

#3: Tea!  I drink GREEN TEA 3 times a day!  Trust me, it's rich in antioxidants and again, this one helps with the food digestion process.

#4: I attend group classes at my gym.  There's something motivating about working out with 5-10 other people at once....because no one wants to be the girl that wimps out of a 60 minute workout or the girl cheating on the squats...so when I go to these classes I know I'm working hard.... treadmill incline level twelve's got nothin on this girl!

#5:  I do a 250 crunch  ab workout every night before I go to bed.  I kid you not, really I do and it takes me 5 minutes.  There are 4 different types of crunches in the workout so it isn't a tedious 5 minutes, and the cherry on THAT sundae is the 30 second plank after the workout.

That's all I do.  Nothing too crazy.
