I appeared on live television at 11 AM this morning. I, for some reason, thought it would be a really good idea (relaxing, maybe?) to workout very early before my kids woke up, so that I'd have it all done for the day before I even had to head to the station. Apparently, a 4:45 AM wake-up call makes for a REALLY dumb blond.
The "Abs" portion of my morning workout, which is listed below, was cut just a bit short when I smashed a 10 pound weight plate into the tip of my already-twice-broken nose...instant bloody nose and all! When I say I smashed it, I really mean that I SMASHED it. Luckily, I hit the flexible cartilage portion of it, instead of the bony part, but still, I was looking for black eyes all morning long. Just what I needed before appearing on TV!!
Anyway, here's the workout: (advice - don't swing a weight plate around while doing the tuck-ups)
