1 And 2 And 3 And 4 And Get Them Sit Ups Right!

Disclaimer: I am NOT hired by the producers of 8 Minute Abs to promote the video!!

In reference to the title of this post, this is one of a VERY select few times where I will recommend listening to what Kanye West has to say.

I have been told by numerous people that the way I talk about my abdominal workout is borderline infomercial- like and annoying, but from a college student perspective, I think it's important!  I guess I can only speak for myself, but I can't hold myself back from that extra cookie or slice of pizza.  So, I take my ab exercises very seriously.

Despite the 80's vibe the video gives off (don't get me wrong- it definitely was made around the time I was born.  See below), the exercises are timeless.

At this point, I have repeated them so often that I have the sequence memorized and it is my favorite workout to do at the gym!

The story I always tell is about the Halloween costume I wore my senior year of high school.  My group of friends decided to split up and dress up as the Clovers and Toros from the movie "Bring It On."  This came along with buying actual cheerleading uniforms from an actual cheerleading website, which came along with skirts that ran VERY small.

In the weeks leading up to the exciting holiday (after I realized how small my skirt was on me), I did 8 minute abs twice a day for about two weeks, and I miraculously fit into the costume.

I walk around my house telling everyone to stop wasting their time on machines and just do 45 seconds of each of the exercises explained in this video!!  With all the various things we have going on at Lehigh, 8 minutes is really all we have to devote to our abs.  And I promise, it's 8 minutes well spent!
