    Oh, this one is great and it looks effective. I need to do ab work but I hate getting down on the floor.

    I usually do this lying down but it’s a great idea standing up because (as he mentioned) you can add jumping jax or squats

    This is great! How many reps should be done though?

      You’ve got to figure out what works best for yourbody. If 3 sets of 20 is all you can do before you start to burn, then stick with that. Once it starts to get too easy, go up by five… 3 sets of 25, then 3 sets of 30… that’s how you do it. :)

A few rules for posting, friends:

  • If you are promoting a product, or posting a sales pitch, your comment will be deleted.
  • If you are trying to dispute something on the site, you will need more than anecdotal evidence (i.e., "My cousin's friend's uncle's girlfriend's boss did it and it worked!" If you've got books or at least Internet links, then we can talk. Otherwise, you risk your comment not being approved.
  • Foul language is discouraged. I'd like people to still be able to read the site at their jobs.
  • Disrespecting me or the men and women who post here is also unacceptable. Your comment won't be approved, and you might be banned. (Actually, I've grown to like embarrassing people who behave like they have no home training. Consider yourself warned. :)
  • Want an avatar? Quick and easy solution. Visit Gravatar.com and sign up for one!
  • Everyone is welcome here. You don't have to be Black, you don't have to be a Girl. I'd prefer you to be human, and I'd prefer you to be kind. We're helping each other, right? :)
  • Last, but certainly not least, commenting here is a privilege. Not a matter of "freedom of speech," but a matter of "approved at the discretion of the the owner." It's how I protect our community. Everyone appreciates this until it's their comment on the chopping block. We simply don't have time for foolishness, here. (And please, don't e-mail to complain. I already know you're mad.)
