I'm still not back at the gym: sometime this coming week, I hope. But I pulled out the mat, and did some bicep curls (8-pound dumbbell, 3 sets of 20 reps each hand), and then 4 sets of 20 crunches and 3 sets of 16 back arches. It's a start.
Where did you get your workout plan? I joined Curves, and it's a good 1/2 hour workout, but I also do abs stuff at home and have 4 free weights, which I work out in front of the TV with.
Talked to a regular gym a couple of weeks ago, and that would be more of a workout, but I have to be working full time before I can afford it. But they had a personal trainer, and I don't really know what I'm doing. I just know I would like abs.
I've more or less made it up as I go along, with a bit of help from the trainers at my gym. I got one free hour when I joined, and if it's not busy they're usually happy to answer questions like "how does this work?" or "can you show me something for my grip?" or "could you check my form on this?" Sometimes they come over and volunteer things--that's how the lateral raises got into the mix.
I have here at home one each of 3, 5, and 8-pound dumbbells (buying the single mixed weights seemed like a good idea at the time) and a mat.
