Day 3, I have to say that this evening was an awesome Session! Bent-over row really started to get the heart rate up and then the One-leg romanian deadlift really took things up a gear. My lower back and cheeks have never felt so worked out and for the remainder of the session my arse had the shakes Riki Martin style. Good Abs workout! Gym ball jackknife twist was a little extra on the no twist version and the hanging knee raises are a little tougher when the entire body is feeling it.

Day 5, Was a bit of a squeeze today, had to fit the workout in over lunch as im out celebrating a mates newborn. This made rattle around the circuit though with short rest periods, no let up in effort though. Top exercises were the overhead squats and the jackknifes. Its amazing how much adding a bit of stability really enhances an exercise and introducing legs to an abs exersice really gets the heart rate up. Also took the stairs twice.

Ever read those workout routines in the magazines and wondered, who actually does that? Or, did did anyone really do it to check it lives up to its promise? I want abs of steel! In fact its the remaining part of my body that I think it needs sculpting so, Ive paid my 2.99, got the app and shall follow the videos exactly for 6 weeks.
