Veena’s Abs of August!
-
Missed a couple days.. Life. But still in. 🙂
-
@AllysonKendal I think we might be on the same diet…cookies, pizza…
I often wonder what I might look like if I didn’t eat like a 5-year-old with a credit card.
I don’t wonder enough to change my diet, but I do wonder.
🙂

Ha. I’m glad I’m not alone!
Anyway I’m still hanging in there. I couldn’t do yesterday’s workout because when I got home from work my back was killing me and I took a Motrin and went to bed. So I did day 21 today. Either I’ll do 22 and 23 tomorrow or I’ll skip my rest day on the 24th to catch up.
More than 2/3rds done guys!!!
-
Still here, but like TropicalPole my carbs have crept up…not good at all. Planning to continue these workouts after our 30 days is up. Good way to start the day and it doesn’t take long.
-
Blimey, glad tomorrow is a rest day

Those leg raises! -
These exercises are working. Lifted into my shoulder mount yesterday for the first time..squeeee.
-
That’s great news V!
-
Are any of you lot actually doing 55 leg raises each side without stopping [cries]?
Holy Moly.
It’s working though: got hands free Cupid today and I swear it’s an ab strength thing. (And a butt n’ thigh clench thing)
So yay thanks Veena. 🙂 -
Ok, I’m a day behind (booo!) but… the leg lifts last time were a killer. I muscled through them but by the end they weren’t as high or pretty as they started out. I don’t know if thats better or if I should just stop half way and regroup?!?
Also do you put your feet down each time you do the knee tucks? I try to make it through all of them without lowering completely to the floor, but usually I can’t make it. :/ I can usually do about half in one go though.
-
I actually did half, switched and repeated on the leg raises tropical… Possibly because I am not touching the ground on my tucks AK. Haha we will see if I can make it that way all the way through the challenge though…. Iffy.
-
I touch pointy toes to ground with knee tucks, if feeling bad ass do straight legs or V for first 6. Today I switched over after 12. Then went back for last set. They’re hard but not terrible. But the leg raises slay me; 25 each leg with straight leg is nonstop limit, can do 35 -40 with attitude leg. Switching feels cheaty but I just get to fatigue and cannot.go.on.
The last week is scary :-0
-
You can do whatever variations you need to, in order to make it through with the best form. That’s why I have different options. Nothing wrong with touching the ground if needed.

I’ve only just got my pole set up (yay – finally) and I’ve started the 30 day abs challenge and the kick start programme as I have been off the pole for a while and I really need to build strength. Mine will be abs of Aug and Sept! 🙂 Only worry is that I travel a lot and may struggle with roll ups (even in a door frame) and knee tucks. I usually pop in a Switch for good measure. Any other suggestions?
(I’m just imagining doing the roll ups in a hotel door way in the Middle East …. Guaranteed to be labelled as the “more-crazy-than-usual” foreigner!!!) -
I agree Tropicalpole, those leg raises are tough! I can’t do them without stopping. Congrats on your hands free cupid…yay!
-
I usually do the workout in the morning, but this morning I had to be at work early so I skipped it. Planning to do it tonight and just noticed 220 twists and 60 leg raises….aaaggghhh! My shoulders get tired during the twists and my legs just won’t cooperate if I try and do the leg raises without stopping. For those of you who did your workout this morning, please send positive vibs my way!
