Lazy Girl Fitness – Microwave Abs

Raise your hand if you are so busy most of your meals (healthy or not) are made in the microwave. I know that mine are!

Now, Raise your hand if you want Abs of Steel, luckily I’ve got two fab ab workouts that you can do while you microwave your dinner.

Exercise one: Abs Twists – Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, stand up as tall as you can and squeeze your abs. Twist back and forth as many times as you can, the more you do the better your abs will get!

Exercise 2 – Leg Lift Twists – After you burn out your abs twisting, try it with a leg twist. Same stance as the first exercise but then I lift my opposite leg with the twist and “crunch” down a little.

  14. I do a wall sit while I brush my teeth. Also I flip my hair over to blow dry, so I do a squat while doing that. While the baby is playing the bathtub, I put my hands on the counter behind me and do reverse push-ups.

  15. Reblogged this on Mom in Reality and commented:
    Found this by accident on Pinterest…love it. I started doing it during dinner tonight (not even a microwave meal) and can definitely feel it in my abs. :-)
