Cough yourself a six pack?

For the last two weeks, I've had an acute and persistent cough. As a result, I've been putting a lot of effort and energy into clearing my airways. In the past few days, I've felt a strange burn around my abdomen, a '300 sit-ups a day' type of burn. Upon closer inspection (in a mirror), I noticed that my ABs have become a lot more muscular and toned. It's a remarkable achievement, because I didn't have a six pack beforehand.

After experiencing such brilliant results, I've decided that I'm going maintain this exercise plan. Its easy. I can do it on my chair while I watch TV. I can do it in my bed. I've even done it in a car while I'm driving. The only drawback is that I occasionally experience abdominal cramps as a result of excessive coughing.

Has anyone ever experienced this?

I suggest that you start smoking. It really induces a lot of coughing.

You're going to cough all day to get some abs? :mute: That won't do your throat much good....

And no-one who wants decent abs should need to do 300 sit ups a day.

Do weighted ab exercises for more time effective results, or at least some varied cruches.

This falls under Category 8. Seriously, you're going to do yourself some real ****ing damage if you go through with this.
