Made in the kitchen!

So I have been asked a few times about what ab workouts I do and was told to blog about it, so here I am!
First thing you have to remember is, abs are made in the kitchen! If you are eating shitty the first place it's going to show is in your belly! You can do ab workout after ab workout, but if you have a bad diet they won't show through! Veggies, lots of water, complex carbs and low fat protein are best for your diet! Body fat is also a number you should be watching on your scale. I have heard (not sure if this is right or not) but having a body fat of 20 or lower is about when abs will start shinning through:)
Ok on with my workouts! I usually will run 3 miles (about 20 to 30 mins depending on how fierce I feel) after my 3 miles are done I continue to run or jog to keep my heart rate up, but jump off the treadmill every so often and do different types of abs. I usually start with crunches end with some sort of plank then back on treadmill for a few mins. Then repeat with a different ab exercise:) Here's my routine.......

Treadmill 3-5 mins
Crunches
Plank
Treadmill
Bicycle crunches
Side plank hip lifts (R)
Treadmill
Leg lifts
Side plank hip lifts (L)
Treadmill
Oblique v-ups (R)
Plank
Treadmill
Oblique v-ups (L)
Plank
Treadmill
End with Russian twists

I know I know it's a lot!!! Do as many reps as you can and the moment you feel the burn and want to stop do 5 more cause those are the ones that count!!
I don't only do those for abs though! I will add in Ab Ripper X by Beach Body when I don't do that routine. Abs are my favorite to workout so I tend to do those A LOT!! (Probably more than i should) Once my gym is finished I will be doing lots of arms and legs:)
