Even though I got sick of doing the same ab workout three days a week for 10 weeks of P90X, I also liked how good of a workout it was. To mimic the awesomeness that is Ab Ripper X, I created the below ab circuit. It takes about 10 minutes to go through twice, and my core always burns so good throughout the whole thing.
The only exercises I haven’t featured in a workout on this blog yet are the Modified V-ups and Oblique V-ups (click each to view a video demonstration). For any exercises you aren’t familiar with, check out my exercise guide page for more examples!
Now, I would like to share something really exciting that happened yesterday in addition to the rest of this week’s favorites…
These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
Samsung Galaxy S5 – Okay, so I can’t say much about this so far because I got it last night, but yay I have a smart phone!! That’s right, I have finally entered the 21st century. Now I can actually post stuff on my Instagram and not have to use Matt’s technology! Woo! Next stop: Get an Otterbox to protect my phone against my accident-prone self.
Planters Cocoa Peanuts – I don’t know if I want to recommend these because they’re kind of really addicting, but I’m going to anyways because they are absolutely delicious.
Milk Frother – Bought this bad boy from IKEA last weekend. It was around $7 and beautifully froths milk in approximately 5 seconds to make my coffee seem more fancy. Love it.
Smoked Sea Salt Grinder – This stuff is Matt’s and my weakness. It’s so delicious. Our favorite thing to put it on is edamame.
Best Friend Necklaces – I bought these recently – one for my sister, one for me – as an adult version of friendship necklaces. I love how they turned out and highly recommend the madebypepper Etsy store if you’re interested in something similar!

I’m going to do your ab circuit right now (I just came back from a run, so as good a time as ever!). I wish that I had gotten the Galaxy S5. I got the HTC 1 M8, and I just wish that it was a) smaller b) had a button and c) was waterproof. LE SIGH
Katie says
Woo! Awesome. Hope the workout is to your liking. 🙂
Ashley says
Aww. Haha you crack me up. A milk frother?!
Katie says
Chyea! It’s a good time. I found the same one at work one day, and that’s when I decided I needed one for myself.
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
ooh milk frother-yes! need one of those. Great core exercises-those are some of my go to’s as well.
Katie says
Yes! I highly recommend this little cheapo milk frother. Gets the job done and makes beverages slightly more exciting. 🙂
