Happy Thanksgiving - Don't Over Gobble!

How are you feeling about the impending day of feasting tomorrow? I hope you've been faithfully *not* crunching with Crunchless Abs, and are feeling fit, toned and are willing to allow yourself a reasonable helping of turkey and all the fixings without a bunch of guilt. It can really be a pretty sensible meal when it comes right down to it - but I suppose most of us pile it on because we only get the whole feast once a year. I know I have a big weakness for the most fattening dishes - stuffing and gravy. Nothing too healthy about that! Here's wishing you a warm and festive holiday without the traditional belly-bloating overindulgence! Your six-pack will thank you for not taking that second slice of pumpkin pie!

Trade Facebook for Crunchless Abs!

You know what convinced me to commit to Crunchless Abs? The fact that you can invest just 10 minutes a day and see a result. What else can you say that about? The various workouts are easy to get in and out of before you hit the shower in the morning, or in between work and fixing dinner. Really, 10 minutes is such a blink of an eye - don't you spend more time than that on Facebook every day? Or tweeting? And those social dealios don't exactly bust your flab, you know. Here's a challenge for you - trade in 10 minutes of your daily Facebook ration for a Crunchless Abs workout. You will sooooo thank me when you quickly begin to feel your core strengthening, and your abs taking shape. Take the challenge!!

Major Core Strengthener

I'm so thankful for the Crunchless Abs workout program. These exercises seriously are strengthening my core abdominal muscles, tightening my abs and giving me an overall sense of well-being... all without having to endure the brutality of traditional floor crunches - which, by the way, are so ineffective! See my post below about that one.

No Crunches - No Flab

Did you know that traditional floor crunches only work 2 of the 12 muscles that make up your abdominal core? That's ridiculous. Why have we all waited so long to find this out? Got the saggy pooch? Well, those crunches aren't going to help you on your road to sexy, flat abs. Linda LaRue's Crunchless Abs workouts tap muscles you didn't even know you had - zipping in your body's own muscular girdle. Seriously. Floor crunches strain all kinds of muscles that have nothing to do with your abs. Whereas, the Crunchless Abs program calls on innovative exercises that target precisely the muscles you need to tone up, without wasting energy elsewhere.

Flat Abs Without Crunches

So you know I'm a big fan of the Crunchless Abs program. It's the smartest workout series I've ever tried. Crunchless Abs demonstrates workouts for real people - starting from the ground up and getting more advanced as you get stronger. It really pushes you toward flat abs in a supportive way and without crunches. But I just ran across this new product, also from Linda LaRue: Core Transformer. Do you know what it is? I haven't clicked around yet. It looks like a fancy resistance band type of tool - have you tried it?

Healthy Weightloss: Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Haven't you always wondered how much weight a person can reasonably expect to lose in a week? I sure have. And you know what? It isn't much! Only a pound or two. Here's a great piece about healthy weightloss on intent.com. Crunchless Abs creator Linda LaRue points out invaluable pieces to the weightloss conundrum. Check it out, especially if you've been discouraged about your weightloss rate. Turns out, you might actually be doing it the right way!

Recycle Energy

OK, so some of us are the smarty-pants types who are using the Crunchless Abs program at home. Yay for us. Because we're not spending big bucks on gym memberships, driving the gym, etc. But here's the coolest thing. Linda LaRue just wrote about this gym that captures the energy people are spending in cycling classes and using it to power the gym and sending excess energy back to the grid. Way Cool!! We need to implement more of these innovative ways of recycling energy!
