Sculpted Ab Routine (Just 3 Exercises)

As I mentioned yesterday when I shared my meal plan, I'm currently 12 weeks out from my first bikini competition and this week, I start doing my ab exercise routine everyday. I have definitely seen improvements in the last two weeks in the toning/tightening of my stomach. I'm sure it's a combination of my clean meals, workouts/cardio, ab exercises, and perhaps this cream I've been using. The picture below was snapped on Monday morning (April 15, 2014).

Now that I'm 12 weeks out, I'm doing my ab exercises every day. I do 3 exercises in a row, and repeat them 4 times. These exercises can be done in the comfort of your own home too.

1. Leg Raises- 20 reps

When I'm at the gym, I do leg raises on the roman chair.

At home, you can do them lying on the floor.

2. Medicine Ball V-Ups- 15 reps

These are really hard, but I'm getting better at them.

3. Russian Twists- 20 reps

I don't use any weight, I just sit on the floor and touch my hands to the floor on either side.

40 Day Fat Loss Challenge

At the beginning of last year (2014), I challenged myself to get in shape for my first ever NPC bikini contest and reached that goal after 5 months of training (July 2014). Since then, I'd been pretty much slacking on the diet and workouts, but by October 2014, I was not liking how I felt physically when I had gotten used to being in great shape. My weight was creeping back up and my muscle was turning into fat. In November, I started back with my trainer and by December had started embracing my bikini meal plan again, but not nearly as strictly and not without lots of "cheats". It was the holidays after all. And I like to eat as much as the next person. Read more »
