FCG: Great Way to Get in ABS
Hi everyone, Hope you had a great week and stayed true to your fitness and health objectives while still enjoying yourselves. I have to admit I've been doing my fair share of icecream eating recently, but do my best to cut back a little in any other indulegences that day if possible and stick with the workout program I have been doing. That being said, I've been doing this neat little trick to kick up my ab workouts and while at the beach the other day noticed that my abs are looking pretty toned and I think it's a good trick worth sharing: So, in between sets of lifting weights (for upper body I'm mostly at the cable machine area of the gym or free weights but you could do this anywhere) I do some ab exercise.mymaria's workout log: Mon-Sun Oct 22-28th
Another week has totally flown by! Wow. Very sad to report that I forgot to try out this week's fitness challenge move, I will try it out next time I lift, which will be this coming Thursday...Madonna's Trainer: How to Lose 20 Pounds in 6 Weeks
Two pounds a week is the typically advised weight loss, but pro Tracy Anderson says she has worked out a way to safely shed even faster! “It’s perfectly healthy,” the former dancer, 33, tells Us of her plan. And the results of her regime speak for themselves in the super-fit physiques of clients Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna, not to mention her own transformation (the 5-foot mom dropped from 140 to 95 pounds).Workout Tid Bits

The mid-morning sun shone brightly through the thoroughly modern webbed-glass and white steel-beamed roof onto the shiny marble floors, freshly waxed and polished the prior night by dutiful cleaning crews. Rows of desks bedecked with the latest design in office lamps and LCD computers screens sat crisply among the signage and banners informing customers of the latest interest rates, saving bonds information and other banking products. Portraits of the financial institution’s founders, dating back over 100 years, sat high and mighty on the cherry-wood walls.mymaria's workout log: Thur-Sun Sep 20-23rd
Well my log is not going to start out very good but trust me, I am working to redeem myself this weekend, I promise! Thurs - usually I go to bellydancing, but class was cancelled, instead I went to a local fair with my parents and had a bit of fair food and people watched Fri - so not proud of Friday night, got home from work and went straight to bed...I was in a total funk, watched two movies in bed, ATE in bed minus a quick walk to the store for snacks (at least I got two healthy snacks), not a good night for fitness at all... Sat - woke up in the morning and decided I had enough of being a piece of crap - not working out and eating poorly is not a way to feel better about anything.mymaria's workout log: Mon-Wed Sep 3rd-5th
Ok, so I really want to get in a post before I run out of time before I leave tomorrow before dawn for my trip to SLC for my friend's wedding. I am very proud to report that I have exercised as I planned for two weeks, every day (I will double check later to make sure that's true) since my boyfriend's visit! Who hoo!mymaria's workout log: Sat Aug18th - Tues Aug 21st
Oh geez, this posting is going to be a little weak. Doing what I can though, so here it goes: Sat - started by lifting first instead of cardio after reading a post by fitsugar. Did a whole bunch of strength moves, for every body part.mymaria's workout log: Sun-Mon July 8-9th
Journaling these down two at a time seems to be working pretty well. If I wait any longer I have a hard time remembering what I did since my workouts have been so varying recently! Sunday - my original plan was long cardio and lifting.Consumer Reports Does Dieting
I've definitely consulted Consumer Reports when I bought my car and I even think I checked them out when I bought my cappuccino machine, but I would have never thought about looking to them for dieting advice. Until now, that is...
In their June 2007 issue Consumer Reports rated eight popular diet plans that have been studied in clinical trials.
