    "Where have all the athletes gone?"Observations on Gyms

    You hit the nail on the head. Hi Honeybunch, That is so true. I'm amazed at how few people really workout hard. The eating part has always been hard for me because I have a husband and two kids still at home that don't like healthy food. I try and try. Went out to lunch yesterday and had a...

    RE: planks Hi Windy, Hay, I've done those. Didn't know that's what they call them. I have also heard the Physeo Ball has many good Ab. exercises you can do on it. I was talking to a personal trainer yesterday that was telling me about a course she's taking and the Ab work, sounded intersting...

    Ab work with less reps and more work

    Hi, I've been getting some great advise at my gym about doing ab work with less reps that seem to be paying off. All it is is pulling my navel into my backbone as far as I can.
