The Ninety-Nine by hana At first glance at this jpeg, all I see is the number 99 next to a lot of unappealing words. Words like: crunches, leg lifts, seconds to do a wall sit � You must be joking. In the middle of my office, I yell, "How the hell can you do 99 jumping jacks without dying?" My co-workers reply (practically in unison), "It's easy." Well, there goes my support team.

I smiled and laughed all the way through this--sounds too familiar. By the way, what IS a mountain climber?

I wouldn't try any of these to get back into shape, but I like that the writer was honest about them.

Some of these workouts sound like they would be fun to incorporate into my workouts. Although I am agree with editor a lot of these demands that theses workouts demand seem a little unrealistic for the average women especially for ones with a life outside of the gym. She did a great job of being honest and having a great sense of humor!

I'm a skinny-fat person too. It's always nice to see a non-fitnessaholic person's take on workouts. It certainly makes me more inspired to give them a shot.

I might have to try the 5-4-3-2-1 workout.

Yea I don't think I can do any of this without panting my buns off. Like the editor I do not exorcise at all and cannot seem to give up bacon. 99 workout? I don't know...

As my news years resolution is to drop some pounds, I will definitely be trying out some of these work out routines.. the skinny b***t and the 99 workouts seem as if they show results quickly.

Wow, I'm going to show this to my co-worker. She said she's ready to get in shape starting now for the summer. Let's see if she's up to the challenge!

I think that I might try the 99 workout and see how that goes.

Funny enough, I literally spent half an hour just yesterday looking over exercises on pinterest! I did see some of these, but I was definitely daunted by the 99 workout.

by LittleBunny Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 06:18PM Report as inappropriate
