# Adding more to the fitness routine πŸ’ͺ 

It takes approximately 22 days to form a new habit. This may sound easy enough to create a new routine, but the initial few weeks can be quite difficult. This is especially true for physical exercise. 

My favorite fitness YouTube channel is [Athlean-X](https://www.youtube.com/@athleanx) with Jeff Cavaliere. He has been providing useful information for many years, most of which I have been using at the gym consistently for well over a year now. I'm stronger than ever at present time and going to the gym is one of my favorite parts of each day.

One area that I have been neglecting quite a bit is ab exercises. I haven't managed to be consistent with this and now it has become the most difficult part of working out for me. Back when I taught aerial yoga classes around 2017, this was not the case since that job was so ab-intensive. Since then I've packed on quite a bit of muscle, but also some fat. I haven't been able to see my abs in years now. Luckily, I still feel strong and don't mind having the extra weight on my body, I was a bit underweight back then anyway.

One of Athlean-X's latest videos was an ab routine that is perfect for all levels. It claims you'll have a six-pack in 22 days, but obviously, that is not true for everyone. It depends on where you are starting as to how quickly you will have a six-pack, if ever. One thing that is certain for all though is that this is an excellent thing to commit to doing daily.

I have already done this for a few days in a row and I can say that it certainly is not easy, but I think pretty much anybody should be able to commit to doing it. Making a public blog post committing I feel is a great way to ensure that I don't give up before I get the routine established. I've got a few weeks before this becomes just another part of the day for me, but I have faith.

If you are curious about which exercises I will be doing, I have turned each one into a gif so that you can just scroll through this post every time you are doing it. I think that is a lot easier than watching the video every single time, especially since there is added commentary that you don't need every single time you do the exercises.

X-tinction means do it until you can’t do it anymore. Meaning do 10 reps or 45 seconds (depending on the exercise) and then take a 10 second pause. Start back up and keep doing it until you can no longer reach 10 reps or 45 seconds. At that point the exercise becomes X-tinct and you can move in to the next one.

**There are a total of six exercises within this routine. Let's take a closer look at each one:**

Be sure to hold for a second once you reach the top to give your lower abdomen that extra bit of challenge and engagement.

Take this motion slowly, there is no reason to rush from side to side.

Don't forget to get that slight lift before switching to the other side.

### 6. Sunrise Sit-Ups

**45 seconds to x-tinction**

This is the easiest of the exercises, which makes sense why it is saved for last when you are much lower on energy.

# Time to grind πŸ‹πŸ»

I know it is going to be a few months before I start to see any major development in my abs, but I know I will feel it more each day. I also need to probably lose a tiny bit of weight so that there isn't so much fat on my belly. Don't get me wrong, I feel like I'm in great shape, but there is always room for improvement.

**I challenge you to get in the routine of doing this x-tinction ab exercise every single day!**
