Let's Talk A Little About Ab Exercises

By Gerald Holt

I'm sitting here eating a huge plate of spaghetti and meat sauce and thinking to myself how great the whole combo tastes----angel hair pasta, tomato sauce with green peppers, celery, onions and beef sauteed in it, and an overlay of grated cheese. Yummmm. And the next thought drifting through my hedonistic mind is, "I wonder what this meal is putting in my system as far as calories go, and will I have to increase my ab exercises just to take care of this meal."

I've started doing some recommended ab exercises that my trainer suggested I try, because my midriff is getting flabby and I need to build up my core muscles and strengthen all the muscles that make up the core area so I have better support. Exercising is not much fun, and I'm having a tough time sticking with the program----hence the big plate of spaghetti now and then.

So, I have my medicine ball and all the other accoutrements that go with doing a good set of ab exercises; and I try to stick to a routine that stays pretty much the same every week, but I just can't get my head into it. For some reason, I am just not motivated enough to put a whole lot of effort into it and I'm beginning to think I am just plain lazy when it comes to exercising. I start off with a bang, but as the week wears on, I think of all kinds of other things I would rather be doing. Those exercises are a real drag for me, and I wish there was another way to get the same results without having to do all that work.

The fact that the ab exercises that I'm talking about have to be done without fail 3-5 times each week is a downer in and of itself because I have never been good with sticking to routines---to me, that's like living a regimented life, and I don't like that. I really need to have someone in my life that cares about me and how I look, and maybe then I would show a little more concern about my midriff and get down to brass tacks and start doing the exercises for real. But until that happens, my midsection is on its own.

Most of the ab exercises I've read about or come across at the gym, are designed to be done 3-5 times a week and on a pretty regular basis. That means you have to set up some kind of a routine so that you can stick to it and get yourself to the gym or to your exercise area at home, whatever; and do it without fail, week after week. Doesn't sound like much fun to me. Why do you have to dedicate so much time to exercising every week just to get fit.

And where does it get you----I have several friends that don't do any trips to the gym or exercise much at all, and they are in relatively good shape----so I figure I can go the same route and maybe follow the same diet as they are on and try to work out a little, and then I can shelve these ab exercises once and for all.

Another thought just crossed my mind; I really need a love interest to spark some life into my meagre existence----and with a new love carrying on with me, that should provide a little motivation to keep looking good and staying in shape. Nothing like a little amore to keep your engines humming and your antennae tuned, I always say. So I guess I should get off this couch and start looking for someone to pursue----and I will, just as soon as I finish this pasta before it gets cold. - 17268
