Which is Your Goal This Summer: Toned Tush or Flat Abs?
We've all got our goals for summer (like get over fear of sharks)... For many of us, especially if you're reading FitSugar right now, that goal is to be comfortable (and looking good) in a bikini but that can be different for everyone.
So which is your goal from your workout this summer: Toned tush or flat abs?
Move It: Full Sit Up with Bridge
In a recent poll, I asked you all if your summer fitness goal is to have flat abs or a toned tush. Now, while the majority voted for flat abs I thought I'd share this exercise with you all that works both areas of concern.

Beyonce's Trainer Reveals 5-Minute Preparty "Body Blast"
When I'm totally wrapped up in Thanksgiving cooking, prepping, organizing, shopping (need I go on?), there's hardly a fighting chance that I'll make it to the gym for a full-on workout. Usually, I'll try to squeeze in a set of push-ups while prepping dinner preparation, or an early morning yoga session, if I can. So, I was excited to see Marco Borges, the trainer credited with whipping Beyonce, husband Jay-Z, and Gwen Stefani into tip-top shape, sharing an easy and no-equipment-needed workout with US Weekly.

Ever Try a "Crazy" Fitness Product That Actually Worked?
When I came across the "Snuggie Sauna" as a possible weight loss tool, which claims it can help you burn 600 calories in only 15 minutes, I maintained the same stance I usually reserve for products that seem too good to be true — they probably are.
So, it's been my fitness philosophy that the best weight loss results come the old-fashioned way, eating right and working hard. Still, I've definitely had some friends who buy into a quick fix every now and then — some who claim they've seen results using the portable thigh toner, and even the ab toning belt.

Lindsay Lohan Is Flat, Firm, and Nowhere Near Labor
It's a rare thing these days to see a celebrity's stomach and not hear speculation about a baby bump, but if there's one tummy that won't start a rumor it must be Lindsay Lohan's. She flaunted her toned abs yesterday on the LA set of Labor Pains, proving that the bump she sports in the film is totally fake. Always the leggings lover, it looks like she was able to convince the movie's wardrobe department to integrate her favorite item into her baseball uniform — perhaps it's a piece from her upcoming line?
