- [Voiceover] What happens to a comedian
when you take away their audience?
This is a show where comedians perform in an empty theatre
while the audience watches from the rooftop.
(laughter)
So the comedians have no idea how the audience is reacting.
- Welcome to Seven Minutes in Purgatory.
Please put your hands together for Mr. Adam Lustick.
(applause)
Adam!
Look at this guy.
I love it. What have you been feeling
leading up to this week?
- I've been feeling adrenaline.
I've been feeling tightness in my abs.
Tightness in my hamstrings.
We're going to rectify all that stuff right here right now.
You stick with me, we're going to get fit!
- Alright let's send him on down to purgatory. See you soon.
- [Voiceover] Meanwhile, his fellow comedians
will be watching in the green room.
- [Woman on Left Onscreen] Very nice
- Alright, Adam is coming down the stairs.
- Hope you brought some lemon-lime sport drink
'cause we're about to shred.
Alright. Let's get started.
(cheering)
Welcome to Adam and Lisa's Seven-Minute Abs.
Get the beach bod of your dreams
in the time it takes to boil an egg.
Let's get going, yeah?
(laughter)
Everybody, spread out your mats.
The first exercise we're going to do today
is just a basic crunch.
We're going to keep our feet flat on the ground
our booty flat on the ground, lower back,
we're going to lean back like this,
put our hands behind our head and it's simply
engaging the core, isolating the abdominal muscle
and up. Nice and simple. Up.
We're going to be shredding like this for the next 7 minutes
so get it on!
(laughter)
So, I used to do these videos with my fiancée Lisa, but uh,
Alright, guys, a couple more seconds.
We're going to work this out. Here we go. Keep shredding.
Nice. So this next exercise is a variation of a basic crunch
it's called the suitcase crunch.
The reason it's called the suitcase crunch, same setup,
booty on the ground. Alright,
the reason it's called the suitcase crunch,
We're going to fold our body like so,
as though we're a contortionist fitting into a suitcase.
Right? And, Suitcase. Suitcases can fit a lot these days.
I've been living out of one recently actually
Because, I don't want to get into it, but Lisa did leave me.
So, we are separated now, which is, I know
I'm as stunned as you guys are.
Keep that suitcase nice and tight, right?
(laughter)
I mean, I thought we were soulmates basically.
Now, push through it, right?
(laughter)
That's good advice all around.
We're going to get on our feet, up on our tootsies.
And we're going to work those sexy obliques.
We're going to start with the right side.
You want feet shoulder-width apart.
Invisible dumbbells just like this
And we're twisting. We're tapping the knee to the elbow.
This is that sexy oblique muscle that's going to turn heads
on the beach at your next vacation. I swear.
Lisa was always, always
bugging me about going on vacation.
What's your problem, right? What's your problem Lisa?
And we're going to switch sides.
Bingo, go to the left oblique.
No one likes uneven obliques, right?
Symmetry is sexy. Don't make it uneven.
As uneven as this separation has been. Frankly, you know
she took the apartment and the car. Which for me is fine,
it's like,
"thank you for unburdening me of my earthly possessions."
I've been crashing in my 18-year old cousin Dakota's dorm
for the time being, which is so nice of him.
Throwback style. College vibes. Right?
The kids on campus are like:
"what are you doing here old man?"
I'm like, "I'm doing my best. I'm doing my goddamn best."
(laughter)
Keep it tight. Alright.
We're going to do the standing leg lifts now,
this is a fun one. We're going to want to put our, again,
feet shoulder width apart. Hands, right above the...
Here's the thing. All of our friends were her friends.
You know what I mean?
(laughter)
But that's OK. For me, that's awesome.
It's like, how many 36-year-olds do you know
that get to make a fresh start,
blank slate, square one, right?
I get to get a new car. I get to find a new apartment.
I get to find all new friends.
Like Chad. Dakota's roommate, who I took for coffee
and is 17.
Okay, so for this last one let's just punch.
We'll just punch, right? Sometimes it feels good.
You want to keep that core engaged.
You also want to find a healthy outlet for sadness,
and madness, right?
So, this is kind of what this is about, right?
And it doesn't even...
(laughter)
I got all worked up here so my thing fell off
and that's going to happen during your workout
And during life. Unexpected surprises and left turns
that you didn't see coming.
- Good recovery. Good recovery.
(laughter)
(whimpering)
- It got dark. It got dark.
- Oh my God, this is so sad.
(laughter)
- OK. Thanks for watching Adam and Lisa's
Seven Minute Abs.
You're one step closer to the beach bod of your dreams.
(laughter)
(applause)
I love fitness and I'm not sad.
- Gotta let Adam Lustick hear it.
(applause)
What a treat, right?
- Hey!
- [Brunette Woman] Did you mean for the mic to come off?
- [Adam] No, unfortunately, no.
- [Brunette Woman] Oh, because I was going to say...
- [Adam] It was a little vigorous
- [Brunette Woman] That was a great save.
- [Adam] But it was OK, yeah?
- [Man] Yeah.
- [Adam] Great.
