The dream is not the destination but the journey

Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become.
Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be;
your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil

Courage is not the towering oak that sees storms come and go;
it is the fragile blossom that opens in the snow

And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to Blossom.

By your own soul, learn to live
And if men thwart you take no heed.
If men hate you have no care.
Sing your song, dream your dream,
Hope your hope and pray your prayer

Each of us has a fire in our hearts for something.
It's our goal in life to find it and to keep it lit.

Courage is doing what you're afraid to do.
There can be no courage unless you're scared.

Courage is very important.
Like a muscle, it is strengthened by use.

Hi Dawn!

I am 10 weeks out from my competition....figure. Or maybe bikini depending on how I look at about week 4. My question to you is would doing abs 6 or 7 days a week be too much? I do ab movements for 5 minutes at a time...without weights. I seem to have a shallow look with my abs and I'm hoping maybe doing abs for 5 minutes 6 or 7 days would at least help define them a bit more.

I obviously won't build muscle as I'm dieting but I'd like more ab definition come showtime. Currently I'm doing them 3 days a week for 5 minutes but I thought maybe a bit more wouldn't hurt?

What do you think?

there's no reason to do abs that often
Iris has got me doing 1 exercise every other day 4 x 25
Palumbo last yr abs only a couple exercises 2 x's a wk
and off season little to no abs
the definition in your abs comes from being lean (DIETING CORRECTLY MAINLY & CARDIO TO GET YOU LEAN)

are you doing your own prep for this show?
either post a pic or PM it to me or you can email (fitbody@telus.net) if you prefer let me see where your at

Whatever course you have chosen for yourself,
it will not be a chore but an adventure
if you bring to it a sense of the glory of striving,
if your sights are set far above the merely secure and mediocre

The ultimate measure of a man is not
where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience,
but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy.
