Weekly Wednesday Workout: Cross Crunches
It’s my birthday, I am now officially 31. TRIENTA Y UNO! I am so happy and blessed to make it this far in life, some people don’t. Today I am taking a rest day because unlike last year I refuse to get my butt kicked on my birthday–besides I have been lifting some crazy heavy weights this week and my body is TYAD.
Without further adieu, lets work on those abs shall we?

Now, this is a pretty basic move. One you will see everyone doing in the gym and in every class. However, I think I have a new love for this move because of the awesome and amazing accent this guy has simplicity of the move and the ability to target many muscles. I have been slacking majorly on the abs workout and its starting to show, everywhere is getting smaller except my abs, so I better get to work if I plan of wearing lots of bodycon dresses this summer. 🙂
Have you ever tried Cross Crunches? Did you enjoy the view accent?

Ahh Happy Birthday!! Hope you’re having a lovely day so far!
And I am a big fan of those kind of crunches. I’m working on implementing the hanging windmill exercise into my abs routine, but I can’t do it yet. One day!!
Thanks so much Bridget! I bet you will be doing them one day soon!!
First, Happy Birthday again.
And yes, i have tried these and do them often. It’s the only reason my abbs haven’t caught up with my thighs.
thanks so much!! I need to follow your lead for sure!
Happy Birthday to you I would tell you to eat a cake but don’t instead keep up the good work in losing that weight and just have a half of a cupcake
I had carvel ice cream cake. It was delish!!!
Happy Birthday!! I hope you had an amazing day! I am feeling rather happy right now…I have done cross crunches!!
yay!! You are ahead of the game Michelle 🙂
I have done them. I didn’t realize I wasn’t going over far enough until my workout with my trainer this weekened. I like how this guy explained them as well.
Its definitely not as easy as it looks! I did the same. There is reach involved!
[…] is another move from Nellie (Brooklyn Active Mama) and her Weekly Wednesday workouts – cross crunches. […]
Wishing you a VERY happy belated birthday! Thirty-one seems so young to me now…even though it wasn’t really all that long ago for me either. I’m sure the belly will be gone soon. We all have those places that the body gives it up last. For me it’s my hips and butt!
I am so ready for it to go Leslie!
Lol at Allie, those were my thoughts as well. Hope you had an amazing day!
It was awesome. and that guy was some serious eye candy I knew you would appreciate!
Happy Belated Birthday! I’m such a crappy friend I thought your birthday was on Saturday!!! I’m so sorry! The one day I don’t long into facebook I miss important dates! Hope you had a great birthday! xoxoxo
No worries Patty!! Thank you so much!
You will be doing crunches in no time!! 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
