With the holidays around the corner, I’m starting to keep my eye out for gifts.

They say you should get things for other people that you would like to receive yourself. So rather than give you a list of bland fitness equipment, I actually thought really hard about what I’d like to receive as a fitness lover.

My high school cross country team had a funny saying.

One of the girl’s moms made AMAZING chocolate chip cookies. Like, unreal. I’ve never tasted anything like them since.

When this teammate brought the cookies to our races, we’d all practically foam at the mouth.

So our team’s saying used to go, “The faster you run, the faster you’re done…and get cookies!”

I’m all about fitness challenges!

I don’t know about you, but I love to push myself. And since you’ve found your way here, I’m guessing you probably do too!

Or maybe you’re just tolerating the challenge part to get to the abs part – but either way, I’m glad you’re here!

Ab workouts are some of my favorites to do. Strengthening your core helps in all areas of exercise and even in daily activities.

So I decided to write a 30 day ab workout challenge, not only to tone and define, but also to strengthen this crucial area.
