  • Sit ups are not good an excercises. They can separate your ab muscles more (which is the opposite if what you want after pregnancy!) I recommend planking and the like.
    I hate sit ups, but Army. They like them. .

    I grew up an Air Force brat...and felt I was would/should join probably until I was a freshman.  Then I realized how much I hated push ups...sorry Dad...
  • I've been doing a 30 day plank challenge since 12/31. They suck. I forgot yesterday. Do I start over? Quit? Keep going?

    haha I hated running the most. By the end of AIT I fucking loved it. I really need to get a jogging stroller.

  • Yup abs gone, butt gone...I have literally no muscle anymore except in my arms which are forced to carry LO day and night. I got through half a post pregnancy workout video before I gave up. Tomorrow is another day....

    at that time I didnt like to run...but it was more tolerable than push ups.  But I also have issues with my wrists since gymnastics in Jr High.  
  • I loathe sit ups. I like standing ab exercises.
  • I started taking classes at the local MMA gym and part of the workout is always ab work. My first class I just laid there and laughed. The teacher came over and asked me if I was ok, and if I needed her to explain the exercise again. I said,"What do you mean, I'm doing it right now - cant you tell?" Weirdest feeling ever. The abs below my incision were working, or trying to. The ones above - nuttin.

    I've been doing 5 minutes of plank (I divide it between plank and side plank), 100-150 kettle bell swings (15 lb) and some other exercises 3 times a week. Yeah, I can feel my abs.


    They're under the fat somewhere...
    @mystererae. Wow! I was fine with 30 and 60 seconds of plank. I struggled with 90 and at 120 I had to use my knees. :(( you are rocking 5 min?! Go you!

    Edit: tag

    Lately my answer has been "fuck it I'm hungry" 

    @jackson290721, this seems reasonable. ;)

    Dude, I'm ripped. Underneath my soft fatty protection suit, made possible by GSC.

    S/O, I ordered 10 boxes of those bad boys this year.

    Edit: They'll be in in March. My birthday is in March. I'm going to justify it to Mr. Vals by telling him they are my birthday present :)

    @Eaglewife not all at once! I do 45 seconds twice on each side, then 10 seconds once on each side to get to 5 minutes. No rest in between. But I think I could do 60 seconds. 
    Well damn, @mystererae... I thought you were holding a plank for 5 minutes straight. Side planks are stupid hard, though. I haven't messed with those yet.

  • @eaglewife what is the 30 day plank challenge?
    If you don't mind me asking how far in are you and do you see any results?

    @Clyde013 - it's holding the plank pose for a set amount of time each day. I'm up to day 18. I definitely feel a little something happening in my torso, no real visible results, but it's nice to have some "exercise" happening again. I'll post a new thread with the details.
  • LOL! I don't think I will ever try to exercise my abs again (traumatic c-section recovery)....

    For now I am happy if I can swim 15 minutes hahaha

  • Lol @theblairwitch01 - best cartoon over. That's me doing any form of exercise. Though I did find an awesome under armor bra that kind of contains them.
