Yay! Spreading the Cardio Pump love! I did it just this morning and increased my weights. I'm feeling it! I'm so glad PrairieGem's thread brought it to my attention!
For abs: do you have Caroline Sandry's 30 Days to Flat Abs? (I like it because the 5 min. warmup makes a pretty good stretch and the ab segments are 10 minutes long.) I also like the active stretch and abs from Suzanne Bowen's WW DVD. (I always add extra stretch because KCM doesn't do enough for me.) These are 10 min segments. How about Gilad Express ab sections? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dLF6JJAcjGE https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ThGuz_G4zQ8 And I'm with you on hating abs but recently realizing the need for it. I was actually contemplating a core-focused rotation next... |

Either/or would be fine. Certainly not 15 or 20!
But yeah, if 5ish minute ab routines are effective that would be great. Maybe those old Firm 5 Day Abs? But then, they're all crunches and those aren't great for backs, are they? Quote:
And yay for increasing your weights! I am so much weaker than I used to be and am currently using 10s, 7.5s and 5s. I can probably increase to 8s and 6s but man, those 10s still feel heavy to me, especially on my spine.

My two favorite add-ons from YouTube for ~7 mins of abs work:
Jessica Smith (I skip the intro bit) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKzc97zvnLo Gilad (I skip the first two mins of standing stuff with a dumbbell) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLF6JJAcjGE |
