This week has been absolutely nut-burger! Like in a really good, but crazy kind of way; 2016 is off to such an epic start for Nourish Move Love. I have so many exciting projects and announcements in the works you guys that I’m dying to share with you {keeping secrets is so hard for me}.
But one thing I can share with you is that I won the Twin Cities Live potluck club contest. Yay! So I filmed with the lovely Kelli Hanson this week, and my cherry wild rice salad with spinach and walnuts will be featured on Twin Cities Live January 28th {tune in}.
So between filming, updating the blog {check out my new menu and about page}, meetings, teaching classes, getting lost in camera research {i’m getting a new camera!}, doing yoga with ‘the Rachel Brathen’ {@yoga_girl on instagram}, and a couple other surprises I can’t share quite yet — it’s been a great week. I feel super accomplished but also very behind; hence writing this blog at 8pm the night before it goes live while sipping a chai tea and eating the Starbuck’s Spinach Egg and Feta wrap for dinner. Just one of those days, but I do recommend the wrap if you’re in a pinch and starving while at Starbucks {no it’s not 100% clean but close enough for tonight}.
On that note, who doesn’t love to feel accomplished? Am I right? How does crunching 500 ab reps into less than 10 minutes sound for accomplishment? This barre-inspired ab series is the perfect routine to add to any workout to slim, cinch and sculpt your abs. I recommend adding this to your regular workout routine 3-4 times per week.
This is a real barre ab burner consisting of 5 exercises, 20 repetitions per exercise x 5 sets. That adds up to 100 repetitions per exercises for a total of 500 repetitions. And the first two exercises included stretching with core work making it the perfect way to start or finish any workout.
If 500 repetitions seems a little out of your range, scale back and aim for 100, 200, 300, or 400 repetitions total. Keep striving for a few more repetitions each time you do this and slowly work your way up to 500 {#yesyoucan}.
See video above for complete workout and proper exercise form.

My abs hurt just looking at this post! Seriously…..epic week for you my friend!!
We can do this one together on Tuesday morning! 🙂
This workout looks awesome and intense! My classes always want extra ab work, so I might need to sneak this routine in one day at the end of class!!
Yes getting all 500 reps in is a bit intense but my favorite way to end my barre classes! I’m sure your class will love you for sneaking it in 🙂 I know mine always does – ha!
