Beginner Ab Workout #1




Exercise: Crunches
Sets: 3
Reps: 25
Rest: 60-90 seconds of rest between each set
Advice: Lie flat on your back on a mat with your feet flat on the ground. Place your hands lightly on either side of your head keeping your elbows out. Push the small of your back down to the floor to isolate your ab muscles. Begin to roll your shoulders off the floor. Continue to push down with your lower back. Your shoulders should come up off the floor only about four inches, and your lower back should always remain on the floor. As always, make sure you let your abs do the work in a slow and controlled fashion.

Get personal with your reps

Get personal with your reps - To get more one-on-one time, try exercising with your spouse or life partner. Not only does it keep both of you healthy and strong, but it can also bring you closer together. A shared workout is a great way to bond, and you will often find yourselves talking a lot more than if you had stayed home and watched TV.

Harness the power of visualization for fitness

Visualize how you look - Take a picture of your body and have it "morphed" at a photo shop. Want to see how you look 10, 20, 30 pounds lighter? Have the graphic artists edit the picture into an image you like, then take home copies of it and hang them everywhere. Harness the power of visualization

Pregnancy Fitness Tips

Pregnancy Fitness Tip: 
During the later half of pregnancy, your body releases a compound called relaxin. As the name implies, relaxin helps relax the ligaments in the pubic area and helps the cervix soften and enlarge in preparation for delivery. This can increase your chances for injury if you lift too heavily. 

After your third month of pregnancy, you should not perform any exercises that requires you to lie flat on your back, as this can also decrease blood flow to your uterus. If you are just starting out, here are some great exercises to try to help maintain your fitness during pregnancy:

-Prenatal Yoga – Either a class or video.
-Pilates
-Stationary Biking – you should avoid a traditional bike as you risk falling over and injuring your belly.
-Swimming
-Walking or light jogging

Don’t forget… before starting any exercise or fitness program it is vital you talk with your doctor to assess your health risks. Only begin a fitness program if it is safe for you and your baby! And remember, the focus should be on feeling good, not losing weight!

Reward Yourself

Fitness Tip: Reward yourself - People tend to be hard on themselves when they fail to accomplish a goal, but also when they DO accomplish a goal. When was the last time you took a moment to reward yourself? Whenever you reach a milestone, have something special in mind, like a massage, new shoes or clothes, or a great day planned with a friend. Remember, food rewards can be great, as long as they don"t sabotage your weight loss and fitness goals.

Miracle Fat Busting Extract...

Green Coffee Beans have been shown to inhibit fat absorption and also stimulate the activation of fat metabolism in the liver, both major supporters of weight reduction. The Chlorogenic acid found in Green Coffee Beans is a natural phytochemical that is found in a wide array of plants, with very high concentrations in Green Coffee Beans. It has been found to inhibit the release of glucose into the blood, particularly after meals, and appears to help people lose weight as a result. Chlorogenic acid may also be able to induce body fat loss by increasing body heat produced, thus promoting thermogenesis, the natural burning of fat for energy. It is also believed to reduce the generation of new fat cells due to its superior anti-oxidant effects.

What To Expect From Green Coffee Bean Capsules:

Rapid Weight Loss (Average of 17lb loss)
Found to increase metabolism, boosting weight loss by more than 800%.
