Fab Ab February continues!!!

As we get into Day 7 of Ab-Solutely Fabulous February, I wonder - is everyone doing the work???  I was pushing a long great through the 5th (which was a rest day anyway) until I got smacked with a sinus infection.  So, sadly, I did miss yesterday's and probably today's Ab exercises.  I do plan to get back on the horse tomorrow and push through to the end of the month.

I also wanted to share with you a quick & easy recipe I pulled out of Cooking Light - it's got bacon it in, so you know it's good, good stuff.  Here's the link...  http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/fettuccine-alfredo-with-bacon-10000001949744/

Doesn't it look delicious??  I can tell you first hand, it absolutely is!!!  Here's the nutritional info, if you'd like that before you try it:

Welcome to the first installment of Zinful Jill's At Home Workouts.  

This is for people who "don't have time" to work out.  It's going to put together a combo of things I do at home.  I may include some reviews of workout videos I do, I'll share some stuff I find on pinterest and make up my own workouts.  I am NOT a trainer, just someone who's been working out for a while with a desire to get fit.  I'm a 40-something mom of 2 super-busy tween boys who just needs to figure out how to fit this into my schedule.  Those are my qualifications, such as they are...

So, my first challenge for myself is my AB-solutely Fabulous February Challenge.  In addition to some cardio and yoga thrown in, here's my plan for Week 1, beginning Friday, February 1st:

1st - 10 sit ups, 4 push ups, 10 seconds plank
2nd - 15 sit ups, 5 push ups, 15 seconds plank
3rd - 20 sit ups, 6 push ups, 20 seconds plank
4th - 25 sit ups, 6 push ups, 20 seconds plank
5th - REST DAY
6th - 25 sit ups, 7 push ups, 25 seconds plank
7th - 30 sit ups, 7 push ups, 25 seconds plank

Are you up for the challenge???
