Remember how one of my New Year's resolutions was to do more ab work? Well..er...um..yeahhhh. That kind of hasn't been happening. Not because I don't want to do ab work. I really do. But I find myself forgetting to do it and then remembering at the most inconvenient times, like right as I am going to bed for the night. It is kind of like me and stretching, although I think I show stretching more love.
My goal was to do my ab work in the morning before work. Only a few minutes. Nothing fancy. I was hoping to work it into my routine right after brushing my teeth, but before putting on my makeup. Yet, it has not become part of my routine - not in the least bit.
Why am I so resistant to ab work? I mean I want abs of steel. Who doesn't? Could it be that it is, well, just plain boring? Another chore to be done like scrumming the NYC grim off the outside of windows that seems to reappear five minutes after washing?
The one thing I have been a little more into is using the big orange foam roller I got for Christmas. I haven't exactly watched the DVD that shows you how to use it yet, but a friend taught me, and I will admit, my leg muscles do feel looser after rolling on it (or maybe its just in my head). It hurts oh so good.
By the way, anyone doing the Aflac Iron Girl National Women's Event Series? Active.com sent me a $10 coupon code if anyone is interested. Just use CCIGSOE09 when registering.

Ah, the dreaded ab work. I try to throw in a few planks every now and then, and try to get on my ball...but that's like once every two weeks!
Yeah, I just got suckered into doing Ab work for the entire month of February. Apparently, my running pals think I'd break 3 hours in a marathon if I had a stronger core...whatever that means.
I'm the same way with abs. I can make time to run 10 miles, but I can't find 10 minutes for abs. Shameful, really.
Perfect timing -- National Ab Month starts tomorrow! http://marathon26.blogspot.com/2009/01/national-ab-month.html
