If you bend over vacuum your entire floor with a handled coming up ever 10 seconds will that be a great ab exercise? Instead of doing boring toe touches this seems to keep the mind busy on the task

    That's the one weird trick that trainers hate because the calorie burn is so incredible that it equals 100 workouts and it is putting trainers out of business everywhere. True story.

    Yes. You can spend 30min a day doing toe touches or 30 mins doing this. Might be silly but I'll try it after work and see

    So you're saying all I have to do to get a glorious six pack is touch my toes every day?

    Before we even begin to discuss the abdominal implications of this astounding development, let me ask: Have you ever TRIED vacuuming an entire floor with a handheld? Hint: the battery will probably give up before you do unless you are truly out of shape.

    But if toe touches bore you, maybe you should put a magazine by your feet so you can read and work out at the same time.

    The real question is, who would do toe touches for 30 minutes?

    Crazy people, that's who.

    Is he talking about vacuuming as in cleaning? And bending over and then standing up? I think some HIIT might get you that 6pack quicker and a calorie deficit

    You have 125 lbs to lose, but think that touching your toes will get you visible abs?

    Aaaaa, now I get it! OP, do you realise than when doing crunches and sit ups you are working your abs because you are lifting your upper body from the floor, working against gravity? It is not the touching your toes part that is working your abs!!!
