October's Aladdin's Lamp Charm Challenge!

The Genie appears through a puff of silver and blue smoke (Dallas Cowboy colors! LOL:) and asks me what my one wish is (yeah it used to be three wishes but that's the economy for ya! LOL:))

I make my wish quickly! "Oh great Genie, can you give me great looking abs,
so that my stomach will look awesome in my I Dream Of Jeannie costume this Halloween??"

To which he replies "Girlfriend, I am a Genie, not a miracle worker!"
(LOL! Great! I find the Genie with the Attitude!:)

He then goes on to remind me that I like to work for what I get, and that's so true!!:), so I ask him for a great Ab Work Out video to use for my October Challenge instead!

And here's what he conjured up:


Rules and other info:

1.) I am using the Lotte Berk Method For Beginners - Hip Hugger Abs!. It is approx. 30 minutes long:) I ordered mine at Amazon.com, as I had not seen this specific video in stores locally.

2.) Starting Wednesday, October 1, and running until the end of October - I will do this video 5 days a week, Monday through Friday.

3.) This time I am working towards earning Silver Aladdin's Lamp Charm Earrings! I had these specially made locally for me:) I will be wearing these with my Jeannie costume!:)

Please feel free to join this fun challenge even if you can't do the same video. Use what ever ab work out video you like!:) Most of all though everyone - have FUN with it!!:)))
 

Back of DVD reads:

"The Lotte Berk Method combines elements from modern & classical dance, orthopedic back exercises, and Hatha yoga into a highly sensual and satisfying fitness system. 

Everyone wants defined, flat abdominals to look good in the new Hip-Hugger and Lo-Ride fashions requires them! 

No exercises are more effective at targeting all of the abdominal muscles - even the lowest ab muscles - than the Lotte Berk Method. 

Specially designed firming tension exercises start working muscles below the bust and firm and strengthen each muscle group all the way down. 

You will love how you look and feel from using this extraordinary workout! "

 

My Challenge rules are the same as last month's - I must exercise every week day through out the month of October in order to earn these special charm earrings!:) Weekends are for general activities, like bowling, walking, wall climbing, etc. Check back often as this page will be updated daily!:)

October 2, 2003: OMG this workout really calls for a lot of stretching and hard to obtain positions! But, if it really works for my abs, by the end of the month, then it will be worth it! LOL:)



October 13, 2003: Best laid plans of mice and men..... have not been able to exercise reguarly due to two ear infections. Missed belly dancing class on Saturday due to illness as well :( After seeing two doctors and being put on three different medications, hopefully I will be able to bounce back this week. :)
