So I thought; "this home workout videos are wack", but you know what; this Ab Ripper routine got my attention.. At first I thought it was a tiring workout more than one that would actually work. Guess I was wrong… Its tough and for the first time in about 6 weeks I’m actually sore. You really got to try it at least once; the workout is listed below and it should take you about 15-16 minutes max:

The workout itself:
11 exercises–25 reps of each exercise in this  order:
In and Outs (picture being in boat pose and moving your legs in and  out)
Bicycle-Same as in and outs but with a bicyle movement
Bicycle in  reverse
Crunchy Frog- In and outs with your hands out at your sides bringing  them in and wrapping your legs close to your chest
Fifer Scissors-lying on  your back one leg hovering over the floor, one up and a 90degree angle both feet  flexed and changing them scissor style
Hip Rock and Raise-sort of reverse  crunches
Pulse-ups/Heels to Heaven-Reverse crunches with straight  legs
V-up roll ups-Similar to a teaser
Obliques-side lying lifting legs  and shoulder up at same time, kind of an oblique crunch
Leg climbs-lying on  back one leg bent, one leg extended rolling up to top
Mason twist-Oblique  twists done VERY quickly with legs raised up off the floor

So I’ve always wanted a way to implement sprinting into my workouts.. Problem is it take some time; not to run but just stretching and warming up… So I’ve never stuck with it… You see I tore my hamstring in HS so I need to take good care of it, I just can’t start sprinting out of nowhere without warning. I have to warm that leg up and really stretch it.

Just resently, a few friends and I started getting together and playing Flag Football. It turns out to be a great workout. My calves and legs were sore the next day.. So now I implement football as my second leg workout which serves as great cardio as well. Anyway, I’m looking forward to next Sunday morning for some more football and hopefully an interseption… Ha!

For all you guys that don’t follow Track and Field; this might not mean a thing to you.  Track became one of my favorite sport after I started participating it.. Once I found out how tough and mental track and field was, I felt I had no choice but to take on that challenge. Fell in love with the sport; I did hurdles, triple jump, and whichever relay I was needed in..

Anyways, if you saw this weekend’s Grand Prix meet in New York; you probably witnessed one of the best performances ever. Usain Bolt broke the 100 Meter World record with the time of 9.72 seconds.. Big props to to him I wish him the best. Except at the Olympics; either American Tyson Gay or Jamaican Asaffa Powell will take the gold. Ha!

Well, gotta sleep… I’m tired..
