Kate Hudson's abs are looking fab these days, but can you get abs like that by using the ab machine at the gym?
Ab machines will definitely give your abs (and back) a decent workout, but I wouldn't rely on this machine for head turning abs. The problem with the machine is that it only allows you one position and if your goal is abs like Kate, a good idea would be to work your belly from all angles.

I have been a fan of Gabrielle Reece for a while, and after talking to her recently I would love to work out with her. Why? She doesn't believe in crunches.

I gaze out past the middle finger of my left hand into the Hollywood Hills as my right quad quivers holding Warrior 2. This is when Bob Harper, trainer from The Biggest Loser, says, "You might be feeling a bit of heat in your thigh right about now." He's teaching a yoga class to a few bloggers and ladies of the press, and we all laugh as our legs burn.

Drawn to the title Get Extremely Ripped, I must admit I was excited to try this DVD with this text gracing the bottom cover: "Scientifically proven to burn fat 3x faster." I am a fitness geek, what can I say. This hour-long DVD is full of classic strength-training moves — lots of squats, lunges, overhead presses, and biceps curls.

Surgery
Kyphoplasty, a surgical technique used to treat spinal fractures, does not improve a person's back pain or quality of life, according to a review published in 2006 by a nonprofit health services research agency. Kyphoplasty should only be done if bed rest, medicines, and physical therapy do not relieve back pain.
Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to deliver gentle vibrations to an area of the body.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. It is a joint disease caused by the breakdown of cartilage -- the firm, rubbery tissue that cushions bones at joints.
Healthy cartilage allows bones to glide over one another, and cartilage absorbs energy from the shock of physical movement.

Looking to squeeze in a quick workout on a busy Monday? When I'm in a crunch, one of my favorite timesaving tricks is to focus on exercising the big muscle groups (chest, back, butt, and legs) in my body. Working the large muscles is a fabulous way to boost your metabolism since the bigger the muscle, the more muscle fibers activated, and therefore the more calories burned.
