  1. Holy damn girl, that is an AWESOME core workout! I love the Pedestal one too!! And my stomach is SO my thing that I compare to other people- ALL the time. It's funny, because it's my most self-conscious area, yet people will always tell me how lucky I am to have legs/arms/back that I do… and all I can see are my lovehandles! I wish I had you to run with (and when I say this, I mean run way the hell in front of me so I can stare at you).
    I'd rather be a snail, their shells can be fab.
    My favourite ab exercise: running plank! In a plank (on your hands), start stomping your feet left and right. Then add the SAME hand to your stomp and alternate left and right!! Killer!!! I also love partner leg push downs!
    I know that I shouldn't do any oblique workouts where I don't twist… but I love doing side bends sometimes 🙂

  2. look who stopped by, it's some smoking @$$ chick who puts all that hoopla over hilary swank's training for million dollar baby to shame! 😉 that was a mouthful…lol. thanks for the feedback on the workouts and i'm the EXACT same way as you. the first thing i look at on anyone is their stomach and then i get a mean case of stomach envy on those flat as a pancake girls. don't make me name names here. but like u i've gotten compliments on my legs/butt but it doesn't do anything for me. side note, u and i need to work on that one…lol.

    ok i'd LUV to be ur runner buddy if u act as my yoga yoda and my core master. i've never even thought of the running plank! omg i love it, it's sort of like those ski-runners but kicked up a notch. those things where you just alternate bringing your feet up by your hands then back…but i like yours more, gonna steal it! 😉

  3. ahhhh. blogger deleted my comment. that was rude. basically i just said that you ab workout looks AWESOME and I really want to give it a try. Second…mail story. I hate walking to get the mail even though it is a mere 50 ft away. So, I park at the mailboxes on my way home and then drive the 50 ft back to my parking spot after i have gotten it. pretty lazy and i am pretty sure I am the only one that does this. i get weird looks. I do not care. haha!

    i agree with your snail reasoning! cool house wins.

  4. dang that blogger! i'm sorry and thanks for posting again! :/ glad u like the core workout and omg ur mailbox story is the EXACT same thing my mom does! (i would do too if they let me drive down the hallways in this complex.) 🙂

  5. This ab workout looks like a killer! Something to incorporate into my new routine after the half marathon is over 🙂
    Love the 'Low Intensity Complainer' you would not believe how many times I hear the exact same comment from some of my patients. Bless their little cotton (and non-sweaty or sluggy) socks.

  6. thanks amy and glad u like the workout! let me know wat u think but AFTER your race, don't want to mess with what's already working there. 🙂
    oh i know, sometimes i feel bad about the cute little old man doing about one pedal a minute on the bike, like u said, bless their hearts but they need to kick it up just a tad. 🙂

  7. Haha oooh, slug or a snail…I'm not sure I could pick one of those! But with your definition of slug above, I'd definitely say that I'm more that way. I SWEAT when I workout!

    I LOVE pilates for abs but with my back injury I haven't done enough of it lately. I might have to try to get back into it – thanks for the reminder 🙂

    I've definitely been known to run too many days in a row and not give myself a rest day. Can't help it though! When you love it, you love it 🙂

  8. haha…maybe super sweaty powers is something all cait's posses…it's just part of our coolness. 😉 i hope that back of urs is behaving, maybe some of those pilates moves will actually help it too? oh and i agree with you 110% about the running. 😉

  9. Um who spends this much time on their abs?!?! I really need to start focusing more on my stomach. It's probably the one area I neglect the most, probably because I feel it's where I need the least work. I don't have a 6-pack by any means but I tend to spend more time on my legs and arms.

    When I have 7 hours to spare I will try your workout because that's how long it'll take me!

  10. haha…i SWEAR it really doesn't take all that long it just looks like a lot because i over-explain things way too much! lol. shush, i'm sure u're able to crush cans on ur abs, but core work is really for you, and not just the abs. a stronger core will make u faster, more resistant to injuries, avoid back issues, and parlay into better strength in other parts of ur bod. all stuff katy can tell ya or u prolly know, but a quicker thing u can do is the pedestal core routine i do…under 10 mins i promise.

    that said, i've seen some of those leg/arm workouts u've got going on, and i need to take notes! 🙂
