Abs Assassin

I'm so upset about this workout I don't even want to blog about it.  I was nearly in  tears the entire time because it sucked so bad, and I modified it before I did it, and had to modify it as I went because it was so damned hard.  This one isn't interval training, but you have to count your reps.  Well, part of it was interval training, but I was in no mood for any sort of jumping today, and it's a damn good thing I cut it out, or I might not have made it  through the entire fucking thing.



How the fuck does she make it look so easy?  As I said, I dropped the jumping entirely and just did the abs, but I even had to modify that, and if I am not feeling it tomorrow I just give up!

First Exercise: 30 Sorrowful Reps

It's a leg lift, then a "star crunch" then a reverse crunch.   The only modifying to this I had to do was to put my heels back on the ground after ever one, and then my butt got lower and lower every time.  There was also some weeping near the end.

Second Exercise: 25 Excruciating Reps Each Side

OK, so not NEARLY as easy as it looks.  My back leg remained the same as Zuzana's, but I had to use my front leg to help me push up into the side plank.  I also didn't go straight up because I couldn't.  The only way to get up was to do a slight twist to where I pointed my chest down a little.  I don't know if it worked where it was supposed to, but it hurt and it had to have worked something.

Final Exercise:  25 "Losing My Will To Live" Reps Each Side

There is no "middle" picture for this, but when you are up in the one leg lift, you have to drop your "up" leg parallel to the floor then bring it back up before you drop your butt and touch your toes. Or for me, you reach up and touch your knee. Seriously, is she a robot? I can NOT do this correctly.   I didn't modify much other than not reaching my damn toes, but I did have to alternate them after a while because staying on one leg for two long really hurts.  And it doesn't hurt in a "gaining muscle" kind of way, it hurts in a "I think I may have broken something" way.

Also, do you like my new favicon? Oh...you don't know what a favicon is?  Google it just like I had to!
