It’s been a while since I unrolled my yoga mat and did a Pamela Reif ab workout, in fact, the last time I subjected my abs to such torture was when I did Pamela Reif workouts every day for a week. Yet keen to find out what my favorite YouTube trainer had been up to in the past few months, I grabbed a pillow off my couch and did her 10-minute, intense six-pack workout. Read on to find out what happened.
Why a pillow I hear you ask? The addition of the pillow adds a little weight to the ab workout — despite not feeling like much when you squish into them watching TV, a pillow adds a couple of pounds of weight to the move, forcing your ab muscles to work harder. Of course, if you’d rather you can add one of the best adjustable dumbbells, and hold it between your feet during the workout, but if you’re short on equipment, or you’re worried about dropping the dumbbell and upsetting your neighbors, a pillow is a safer option for this workout!
