I just tried to do a sit up.....

jackson290721 · January 2014

.....tried being the key word. Where did my abs go????

jackson290721 · January 2014

Pretty sure the dog was laughing in his head as I tried to pull myself up. I imagine I looked like a flipped over dying beetle.

atlvol · January 2014

Ha! I tried this 2 weeks ago. Haven't tried since

jackson290721 · January 2014

prepregnancy I could do 100+ sit ups in two minutes

blairwitch · January 2014

I have Jillian stuff on my computer...I watched them...an my muscles were sore.

I havent been brave enough to actually try anything yet. DH is talking #3...excuse to put it off some more

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. .

stephyfaith · January 2014

I need to exercise....

jackson290721 · January 2014

Gotta do 53 in 2 mins for Army

Pretty sure right now that would take two hours. ugh.

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.

summerchild · January 2014

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.

fabk · January 2014

I loathe sit ups. I like standing ab exercises.

rondokye · January 2014

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!

@jackson290721, this seems reasonable.

I've never been good at sit ups or any exercise.....

F you, DH.

I was just doing some planks and I have been doing 3 reps, adding a second per rep per day. I'm currently at 20 sec per rep.

"That doesn't look hard."
He just did one for 2 minutes.

......nut punches. so many nut punches.

@NKaeding, tell him to put a bowling ball behind his abs for 6-8 months, have a surgical extraction or squeeze the bowling ball out of an orafice. Then tell you how easy they are.

valstulas · January 2014

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.

hollandmama · January 2014

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

MRads · January 2014

Thanks to this thread I did ONE sit up yesterday. And now my stomach hurts. I'm so out of shape.

rondokye · January 2014

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.

Want a personalized experience?
