This is the 7 Day Ab Challenge found on skinnyms.com and I am going to give it a go. As I have completed my 5k challenge I was searching for some new challenge and I think I have found it here.
Beautiful defined abs are possible for anyone and at any age. For the next 7 days you will be doing workouts designed to challenge you and your midsection. There's more to creating toned and defined abs than crunches...a lot more, read on.
This challenge is designed for 7 days. After completion of the challenge, continue doing an ad routine 3 times weekly, with rest days in between.
I have listed each days work out followed by a videos of each exercise.
