Killer Abs
“Longest 10-minute of my life,” people commented on YouTube.
Since the pandemic started, my teenage kids and I have used YouTube for our exercise.
At first, it felt weird not to be in a studio setting, but soon it had become a convenience to have Pamela Reif, my daughter’s favorite trainer, lead us into a workout.
Today my daughter decided that we were ready for the 10-minute killer six pack ab workout. We lay on the soft carpet in her bedroom and started doing continuous crunches, bicycles, obliques until we were on the brink of exhaustion. To our surprise, the plank was the easiest and felt like rest.
“No kidding! This is a killer ab workout!” I told my daughter, breathing hard, as if the air were laden with mothballs.
“If it’s hurting, it means it’s working,” she replied.
