I have always wanted a six-pack, and I’m not talking about the kind you buy at your local liquor store. Nope. I’m talking about abs. Killer abs to be precise. But even though I’ve spent most of my adult life dreaming about looking like the gals that are splashed all over the media, I completely lack the time and energy it takes to get the look I so desperately want.
Why?
Because I’m the lazy mother of a 4-year-old girl who is busier than The Tasmanian Devil himself, and I am just plain tired at the end of the day.
Of course, I’ve TRIED to get into a good ab workout routine, but I inevitably want to put a fork in my eye after the first 20-minute session of sit-ups, crunches, and squats, and I can’t fathom the idea of doing it again. Ever.
But after seeing one of my mom friends sporting an AMAZING body at a pool party a couple of weekends ago, I decided it was time to get off my duff and start applying myself. So I spent some time weeding through different exercises online, and I was surprised to find there are so many easy, fast, AND FREE (!!!) ab workouts I can do to get me closer to my goal to look good naked again.
And since I want YOU to look good naked as well (I made it awkward again, didn’t I?), I decided to compile all 10 of my favorite videos so you can watch them in one place.
