[makingthebest09]

haha...good to see you mixing it up again! ~ahmad

[LUFCRACE]

i dunno about mixing it up, more like starting again! mr burns couldn't wait until the new year to start torturing me again..

[songbird4u]

Favorite this one,,

[makingthebest09]

smiling :)~ahmad

[djsoufian]

I use my 8 kilo weights i dont know if that is as effective its pretty tiring for my arms but i dont have a medicine ball so..

[makingthebest09]

the trick is to do what is fun and works for you...try different objects...~ahmad

[JaytheFitjunky]

wow adding this to my workout,thanks man am not into fat loss much but muscle gain and abs.GREAT JOB

[makingthebest09]

this one is great to do if you are looking for a change from the traditional crunching...~ahmad

[nosebone69]

this guy always puts the best tunes to his vids

[makingthebest09]

just saw this...hey thanks!!~ahmad

[kdbI990]

looove this workout!!

thank uu

[makingthebest09]

thank you for the feedback!

[joy30906]

Great video, you make it looks so easy!! That was so hard!

[makingthebest09]

LOL...I know you breezed through this too! It is tough after holding plank for 90 seconds....try it!

[LUFCRACE]

as if it wasn't difficult enough already?!

[MusicNestor]

What is a ''rep''?

[makingthebest09]

A rep is equaled to one count of a movement....

[LUFCRACE]

Day 7: 6 reps, still burning hard, but not making it impossible to complete. Day 8 will see me hit that 7th rep.

how is everyone else getting on?

[makingthebest09]

Anna...so how are you doing with this...did you revisit it recently?

[LUFCRACE]

ah you caught me, busy week, didn't do anything. trying to get back to it this week!

[LUFCRACE]

Day 6: 6 reps in before major burn, i'll get that 7th rep yet!

[makingthebest09]

proud of you...:)~ahmad

[LUFCRACE]

:) (those halloween treats just nearly killed me!)

[LUFCRACE]

Day 5: Wow! That was weird. The most painful bit is always the standing ab twists, my arms were burning through rep 3, and ready to give up during this bit of rep 4, but by rep 5 it was almost like Mr Burns had run out of steam, it was still hurting, but I wasn't willing you to stop like I usually am because it is unbearable! I even made it through a 6th rep -

[LUFCRACE]

felt i could possibly even get through a 7th - but that's for another day!

Can't beat noticable progress! :) Keep at it guys, it gets easier!

[LUFCRACE]

Day 4: Mr Burns is in the house again! He comes to visit most nights now, but seems in a meaner mood on 'Day 26' nights. The more I do this clip the more I like it.

Ab Circles, they're fun (and ease you in nicely. Both sets of squats burn the quads, but they're getting easier (or at least slightly more bearable). Leaning Ab Crunch and the chair move are also fun, if tricky because of balance. Don't the like the standing ab twists though, my arms really don't agree with hold a weight at arms

[LUFCRACE]

length and swinging it around for what seems like a week. Mr Burn's heaven!

This is doing me good, right?

[makingthebest09]

Anna you are doing perfect with this! I will do another Day's Workout clip with the ball for abs since you like them... Glad Mr. Burns is helping you sweat more!~ahmad

[LUFCRACE]

*note to self: be less enthusiastic, it only leads to more blood sweat and tears.

[valcan99]

doing this after week 2 cardio + cardio/arms can barely move my arms anymore, feels great tho ;DD

[LUFCRACE]

Day 3: I'm in pain. My arms and quads are burning like crazy. BUT it was definitely slightly easier today, wasn't totally unbearable until rep 4.

Don't think Mr Burns plans on leaving just yet though - off to hit the Wii Jog :(

[makingthebest09]

Anna thanks for the feedback! Just use a lighter weight, or try a few sets w/o weight...smiling at your progress!~ahmad

[LUFCRACE]

Trying my best Boss! :)

[enigmaticveil]

ok day two of doing this and well the text did say be safe but i just had to try the chair bit.... yeh fell off and nice bruise that im telling all its a hickey lol!

Ahmad these vids are beyond awesome thanks so much for letting me in on your skill..... oh last bit that lean move is insane lol dude ouch!

[makingthebest09]

Lol! My pleasure...PLEASE keep me posted!~ahmad

[mark9868]

Great routine, nice work!

[makingthebest09]

thanks!

[phoebaxtr]

I did this again this afternoon 5 times..gets better each time. Love this video. I slightly added onto the abs swing thrus by walking sideways during the release with 20lb kb. Keep the videos coming Ahmad...more people are quietly watching you than you realize.~sheshe

[makingthebest09]

Your last sentence is what plays in my mind as I record these clips. I really want to keep improving them. Glad you got creative with the move. Might mimic that move in my day 27 clip. Headed to the gym to record in a bit!~ahmad xoxo

[fromnytopr]

Great workout like always! Impressive strength and motivation. Keep pushing Ahmad because you push others on the way!

[makingthebest09]

I will because you say so! Hey I love how your eating is rubbing off on your family! You are doing perfect, superstar!~ahmad

[angienicholas]

cool I am going to have to add this in I can so do it. Angie

[makingthebest09]

did you try it yet? If not...try it asap and let me know how you liked it! Your drive is what keeps me going...how are things?

[LUFCRACE]

Ahmad! You said do this every other day, so today was the second day. Did the Cardio & Arms and World's Fastest clips as a warm up.

I can't tell you how much I wanted to kill you by the end of rep 3 of this! Somehow pushed through to the 5th rep, feels more like I've done closer to 45mins than 15!

I still have to do my 20min Wii jog. You are a cruel man Mr Baari!

Forget your abs guys, this will push your arms and legs to their limits!

[makingthebest09]

Anna... I love the feedback! Yeah it is a great overall body blaster! Wow you are even doing wii jog...impressed! Will be making day 27 tomorrow...~ahmad

[LUFCRACE]

is that going to hurt too? lol

[1983AK]

thanks

*****

[makingthebest09]

thanks for the 5 stars!

[YTBT]

I like this A, i'll be sure to add those "Ab circles" into a session next time. This a good ab workout right here man.

[makingthebest09]

You have to let me know how it goes!~ahmad

[phoebaxtr]

Thanks so much for this combo for abs Ahmad. I did this 5 times straight, no break. 10lb db for all moves used, except for abs swing thru and seated twists, used 20lb kettlebell. Very effective workout and very "user friendly" . Worked up a nice sweat too.

You're looking better with every video. Keep up the great work and again, many thanks.~sheshe

[makingthebest09]

I have your voice in the back of my head...everytime I feel like quitting! Thank you!~ahmad

[securingmysexy1]

oooh... excellent idea! I need to get me a medicine ball 4 real!

I love your vids as always!

[dayzbehard]

I used my 12 pound dumbell it worked well...

[makingthebest09]

Glad you liked! You can use any sort of resistance with this...if you can't find a medicine ball...ok?~ahmad

[LUFCRACE]

oh i ache this morning!

[DALECHAN]

You have a beautiful bod... and i am still working at mines... i started jun 1st @ 195... i am now 152... my ultimate goal wt is 130... and you have helped me tremendously with the videos... Thank you Thank you!!! ~Chan~

[rachfaceeee]

thanks for posting this, im getting so much more toned with your vids

[DatCaliGurl]

hi ahmad i was on ur website looking for ur e-book on diet do you have one cuz i couldnt find it ..please help!

[makingthebest09]

Hi,

The ebook link is there at the top or click on the image of me at the very bottom of the site... I only have one ebook now available...thanks for asking!

[SaraCanDoThis]

great workout...sweet music

[makingthebest09]

thanks for the positive post...:) ~ahmad

[mzebony]

Thanks boss...was looking for something to do with my abs and my medicine ball!! It's only 2 lbs but I'm sure it will do the job!! Can't wait!! ~ Trish

[makingthebest09]

Yes that will do the job...especially in a cardio type of way...watch :) Hoped you would like it...instead of the squatting just do the military press with a twist to each side...alternate...as if you were pressing to each corner of your room...the whole workout can be done seated...~ahmad

[artistnme4life]

Thanks I will keep u posted.

[TreseMason]

oooh, these are good. I've been struggling with crunches, so I'm swiching to these.

I'm gonna start today! Thanks Ahmad!!!

[makingthebest09]

Thanks for posting! Let me know how it goes!!

[LUFCRACE]

jeeez! i dunno about my abs, but after 5 rounds my legs aint having any more squats! off for a wii fit jog now, i think they may be more unhappy when i'm done!

[makingthebest09]

Yes using the legs like this will create the right blood chemistry for burning fat long after you have stopped the workout...the key is to psh yourself safely into your own personal zone...push just a little further each time you do this workout...~ahmad

[theallnaturalme]

DUDE.

The last move is killer. O_O

[makingthebest09]

Glad you liked...keep doing it!~ahmad

[nenew123]

Nice!! man i really need to get some wights and stuff.. most of ur videos u have that.. XP try to make a video were u dont need and wights and fancy stuff.

[makingthebest09]

Yeah I try to change it up...I get a lot of emails asking for both...weights and non-weight workouts...so I will try to make the next day a non-weight workout...ok? Thanks for feedback!

[purexpression]

hey man do u really mean we're suipposed to repeat all those moves like u did seven times without a break?? yes i can read.. but damn lol

[LUFCRACE]

oh he meant it, he's one of those sadistic personal trainer types ;p

but if you can't do it, build up to it slowly.

[makingthebest09]

Oh how I wish you did not live across the pond...would be knocking on your door for daily workouts...lol:)~ahmad

[LUFCRACE]

Some days I need you knocking on my door!

[makingthebest09]

Yes...lol...just work up to the 7 sets...you will have a very strong body by then...don't give up!~ahmad

[artistnme4life]

Thanks for this video because I have been working on my abs,glutes,and legs alot more along with cardio.I have lost three pounds and I have yet to check the inches lost..I need to get a ball to workout my core more and glues and a weight ball.

[makingthebest09]

My pleasure... If you can't get the ball...use something else for resistance...like a gallon of unopened water...or use a phone book...just as good! You have to let me know how things turn out...~ahmad

[LUFCRACE]

5-7 times? my abs are screaming already! look forward to giving it a try later.

[makingthebest09]

I love challenging you ANNA! ~ahmad

[LUFCRACE]

You love torturing me you mean! Lol!

[dayzbehard]

OOOOO, my body feel whooped!

[makingthebest09]

Let me know how things go after 2 weeks of using this, ok?

[YayErzS]

That ball workout ain't no joke lol 8lb ball turns into 100lb ball very quickly ;)

[makingthebest09]

Yeah the heavier the ball...the more you work the core...but be smart and safe about it...~ahmad

[MustacheVerra]

Great tip Hammad.

Cheers.
