"Absolutely Amazing Abs"

I don't have them, and I'm not sure I ever will. But we can all dream. The only real way to try and achieve amazing abs is by exercising them. I don't know if anyone really enjoys working out his or her abs, but for me it's all about variety. I get bored doing the same exercises for too long, and luckily that's apparently a good thing. I've read that after you do the same exercises for about 4 - 6 weeks, your muscles get used to them and they're not as effective. Time to change it up.

I got an email this morning from Athleta Chi, an inspiring blog written by various women athletes (and connected with Athleta, a great fitness clothing line). The link in the email brought me to a post with pictures and descriptions of a handful of exercises for Absolutely Amazing Abs. I tried a couple of them today and the balancing ones on the Bosu were killer... hopefully that meant they were working.

I think if I had her view on the beach I might actually enjoy the exercises more. Instead, I get to look at myself in the gym mirror... trying to look like I know what I'm doing!
