Ready to get your core in shape and lose the pooch?
The 30 Day Abs Challenge is for you!
The 30 Day Challenge Series is off to a good start so the 30 Day Abs Challenge is the perfect addition to keep the momentum going! The launch of the 30 Day Push-Up Challenge in May attracted over 1300 participants and almost 1000 organic Likes on FaceBook – Yay!! My SkinnyTinis page that I’ve had for years only has 450+ fans, so you can imagine my excitement. It was such a success, that I’ve decided to keep that an on-going event as the community is so supportive and the challenge is good!
But in the spirit of the challenge mindset, I’m on a mission to keep those 1300 people motivated and excited and ready for a new challenge. Hence – the birth of the 30 Day Abs Challenge!
What we learned from the push-up challenge is that the focus needs to be excuse free and simplicity is key. No equipment required, no large time commitment, any skill level can participate and the activity needs to generate RESULTS!
Well, it’s summertime and the beachwear is busting out of the drawers and I’m sure you don’t want your gut to be busting out of them! So get on it – get after it – and sign up and commit to the 30 Day Abs Challenge!
Here’s the 30 Day Abs Challenge, every day you will do:
You don’t have to do it all at once, you just need to do them all every 24 hours. It may take you 4 min, it may take you 40. You might be able to hold a plank for 15 seconds and it might even be modified, or maybe you can hold it for 90 seconds without even trying. What you can do today does not matter. What matters is your commitment to getting stronger! No matter where you are today, you will be fitter, slimmer, flatter and more confident in 30 days if you commit to the 30 Day Abs Challenge Today.
Sound fun?
I hope so!

What do you mean when you say “You don’t have to do it all at once, you just need to do them all every 24 hours”. Is there a daily plan on which exercises we must do on each day? Thanks.
Teresa
It means you can do crunches first thing in the morning, bicycle crunches on a break, the scissor kicks at lunch and so on. But the goal is to get in all 5 exercises and hold your plank for as long as you can for every day for 30 days. Does that make more sense? I hope you enjoy the challenge — We Can Do This!

what do you mean by hip extensions for the ab challenge??

This should clarify it for you — I prefer to call them hip “lifts” 😉 http://youtu.be/7mFckm5npk8

What sort of diet do you go on if you are doing this challenge?

Hi Jagaad — I don’t actually recommend any particular diet to go along with this challenge. But I do advocate healthy eating all the time, which is why I created http://www.21daydietdetox.com which is a detox from dieting 🙂 Check it out and let me know if you have any questions!

I need motivation, and more! I’m sixty-six I’ve had 2 back surgeries, find it difficult to walk sometimes, due to the pressure I feel in the lumbar, but I continue with all my daily tasks. I sometimes regret having had back surgery, I get down but then carry on. I must!
I will do the superman pose. Thank you for reading.
