Since Heather and I are doing all these squats, my legs and
glutes are getting firmer and more toned. My arms tone fairly easily; I’ve
never had a problem with them. My core on the other hand, even though I switch
up my ab workouts frequently, is stubborn when it comes to obtaining muscle.
I came across this fitness post this morning that demonstrated
different oblique exercises. I am always looking for new work outs, and since
I’ve hit a plateau, it’s important that I change up my routine.
Since I have added some cheese, a little bit of meat and
eggs back into my diet (even though I eat them in moderation) I gained a little
weight around my abdomen. I can tell my body really appreciated my vegan diet,
and drinking a full gallon of water a day helped too. I still drink almost a
gallon of water every day, and I am 85 percent vegan when I eat at home.
Like any body part, I try to work out every part of my core.
Upper abs always come easy to me, but it’s the rectus abdominis and the
internal and external obliques that I need to work on.
Some of these exercises seem a little tough but I am looking
forward to the challenge. Try them out and let me know what you think!
