I earn my beer one crunch at a time

The unusual ab workout.

I was looking for a nice abdominal routine to do today and I know there are plenty of ab-exercises out there on the net but it wasn’t quite what I was looking for. I wanted to be challenged and all these standard sit-ups and crunches just weren’t going to do it for me today.
