I’ve been home a little over a week visiting my parents and sister in Fairfax, Virginia over the holidays. It’s great to be home for awhile to visit family, friends and eat lots of moms homemade goodies - especially her baked desserts.

It’s also been a time where I got to try out my new Flip video camera so I could show you some of the workouts that have helped me get a flat stomach and 6-pack.

I like to do full-body workouts, that are quick, but intense. Much of my training philosophies are shared in Mike Geary’s The Truth About Six-Pack Abs. It’s worth a read.

Both of these workouts require no equipment, except for a jump rope. You can do these workouts anywhere - I prefer doing them outdoors, no matter what the temperature is. And both of these workouts took about 12 minutes. So no time excuses! : )

OK, the first workout I performed 100 turns of the jump rope, 20 lizard crawl push ups and 10 squat jumps. My goal was to perform as many rounds as I could in 12 minutes. This workout was great for my entire body. My abs were rocked, heart rate was through the roof, and my upper and lower body were on fire by the end of the 12 minutes.

The second workout was 30 mountain climbers each leg, 10 jumping lunges each leg and 10 T-stabilization push ups. My goal was to do 4 rounds as fast as I could. So get your stop watch out. Again this rocked my entire body, especially my abs.

Below you’ll see video of both workouts. By the way, my mom filmed both videos. How did she do? : )
