Let’s Talk A Little About Ab Exercises

I’m laid out here on the couch,very comfortably I might add; with a plate loaded with steaming angel hair pasta and gobs of yummy meat sauce cooked for hours with onions and green peppers and celery and beef—-and the smell of it is soporific. I just love pasta, and when I have it with a homemade sauce like this that has simmered half the day, well; this is seventh heaven, bud—for sure. But, as I twirl my fork in the heavenly stuff, my conscience just won’t leave me alone and it keeps jabbing me to tone it down with the pasta, and get back to doing my ab exercises. What a drag.

But, what a drag. I’m getting just old enough that my midriff is showing its age and beginning to flab out here and there, and the trainer I’ve started working with tells me that I must keep up with these ab exercises so I can develop my core muscles and tone up my middle. Without a good strong set of core muscles, you don’t have much hope of getting a good 6pack that will wow members of the opposite sex and give you the working strength for lots of other activities like sports.

So I get on the medicine ball and do what exercising I can on that, work a little with the dumbbells; but I tell you, this is just not for me. I want to look good and I want to be strong and attractive, but I’m just too lazy to put the effort into it; I wish there were another way of attaining the same end point without having to work and sweat so much. These ab exercises are a real downer and I tell you, I am not thrilled at all thinking about all the work I have ahead of me.

I bet things would be different if I had a girlfriend, a person of interest, or any kind of a friend that was interested in how I looked—-then I would feel the need to get up and get moving and start exercising for real. But, when I’m told I have to do these ab exercises for 3-5 times a week, and keep that up for every week without fail; I say—-nuts to that. And without anyone around who really cares what I look like or any kind of a goal that I’ve set for myself, then I don’t see much on the horizon for me as far as developing my midriff. Isn’t there some other way without having to exert all this effort.

So, I guess the secret to sticking to a regimen of ab exercises that work, is just to do it faithfully, without looking for a way out, or whining about how much work it is. I know all the psychological aspects of exercising in the fact that you have to do it for yourself and all that stuff, but if you want to look better, but not badly enough that you have no motivation to exercise, then what. I’ve never been very good with routines either, or sticking to them for that matter.

I’ve been doing some thinking lately, and the thought occurred to me that I should start hanging around more with my friends that are eating the right stuff so they stay healthy, and they don’t seem to be exercising all that much or go to the gym, and they seem to be in pretty good shape. Maybe just being more with them will help, and if I follow the same patterns that they are, I can ditch these ab exercises and just hang out and look good.

I probably should go out and see if I can drum up a love interest and that would be enough to spark the desire to want to do ab exercises so I can finally get in shape and look like a million bucks for that special person in my life. That sounds like a plan—I need to think about that a little more and figure out just how I’m going to pull that off and where I should start looking. Meanwhile—I’m going to finish off this plate of pasta—it’s starting to get cold.
