Sit-ups
I do this sit-up
routine that Anissa "The Assassin" taught me. Guess what?
It's KILLER! I've been doing this routine for about a year and it
works. There are seven exercises in all. Do one right after the
other. No resting until you're done! It only takes about 10 to 12
minutes to do the whole thing! Since you probably won't do this
while sitting at your computer - here's a printable
version.
No laughing
at my pictures.
1. Bottoms
Up: Legs up, lift your bottom off the ground for 60 repetitions.
The key is to keep your legs going as straight up as possible, don't
swing them towards your head. Straight up! Use your stomach muscles
to lift your bottom off the ground. This is the hardest one. Really.
2. Bicycle:
Knees bent, feet off the ground, hands behind head, elbows to opposite
knees. Quickly do 30 repetitions.
3. Side Crunch:
Left leg up on right knee, right hand behind head, right elbow towards
left knee, for 30. Now do the other side. Try to keep you chin pointed
towards the sky, don't pull too hard on your neck.
4. Crunchy
Crunch: Legs up, hands behind head.
Crunch up just
barley lifting your shoulders off the ground for the count of 1
and hold for a second and come back down, shoulders to the ground.
Lift up again for the count of 1, hold, and back down.
Crunch up for
2 lifting your shoulders a little more off the ground "Up,
one, two, hold, and down." Is what I'm saying to myself with
each repetition. Repeat.
Crunch up for
3, again lifting a little more towards your knees with each count.
"Up, one, two, three, hold, down." Repeat.
Up for 4, "Up
one, two, three, four, hold, down." Repeat.
Continue to
10, doing each number twice, and with each number pulling (with
your abdomen not your neck!) your elbows and your knees closer together.
5. Side 2
Side (feet down): Feet apart and on the ground. Hands behind
head, elbows to opposite knees. Quickly do 30.
6. Side 2
Side (feet up): Lift your legs off the ground, elbows to opposite
knees quickly for 30.
7. Last one!:
Legs up, elbows to knees for 60.
