Crunchless Abs Strengthens Core

You know what I've realized lately? That the Crunchless Abs workouts seriously strengthen my entire core. When I'm out taking a swift walk, my whole torso is activated in a new way - a way I wasn't aware of before doing crunchless abs. It powers me through the walk with strong abs, strong back, strong obliques, strong posture, strong everywhere.

Crunchless Abs Check In

How are the old abs treating you? Are you feeling like your core is toned and powerful? Have you found a particular rotation with the crunchless abs workouts that really works for you? Any favorite recipes in the SouperSlim recipe collection that you're integrating into your summer kitchen regime?

Walking for Weight Loss

Check out Linda LaRue's entry on Intent.com about Walking for Weight Loss. It's good. I myself have been walking a ton lately - walking the dogs, walking to work, walking for errands, etc. As summer creeps in, it's a nice way to feel the season. The Crunchless Abs guru talks about adding an incline to your route for help with the old butt. I hear that! Sometimes, though, I feel a distinct lack of internal energy on the walk - like it's an effort to put one foot in front of the other - I feel all out of whack, like my posture is off, my breathing is inadequate, etc. I wonder if it's related to diet, mostly, but could be low-lying asthma strain, I guess. Anyway, I wonder if other folks feel that, too, sometimes. Is that normal?

Salmon Does A Body Good

Oh, baby! Members of Make Healthy A Lifestyle really oughta hit the recipe page today. Wasabi Salmon Burgers... um, ok, I'll take three, please.
Salmon is the food that makes my whole body feel good, and it makes my brain feel alert. And, wasabi helps with that general sensation, too. Doing the Crunchless Abs workout all day long wouldn't be helping if I was eating schlock. But, eating so well - not just nutritiously, but also with flair and delight, well, that makes the whole experience more than worthwhile.

Crunchless Abs on a Leash

So I was just looking at the SOUPer Slim diet book and have decided that I'm hungry!! It's too late, perhaps to start eating dinner right now (eating schedule was really out of wack today) but I've got to do it - I can't go to bed hungry. I do wish I had some soup on hand (admittedly, matzo ball soup sounds good even if it isn't the smartest), but it'll have to be something scavenged from the fridge and pantry - prefab nasi goreng and chick peas? Doesn't sound too bad, actually. So, I have found another core workout that does not actually involve putting the Crunchless Abs DVD into the player. It is this: walking a dog who isn't leash trained. That's right! Keeping a firm grip on the leash at a steady distance from my body and regularly correcting, using my core instead of my bicep, for the most part - kind of cool! Now, I am hoping to get the pup trained up soon, but until then, my core - my abdominals, the whole body, really, is getting a little extra workout.

I. O. Yoga

So the yoga studio called this week to say I had unused classes on my card that were going to expire because i purchased them many months ago. I guess the crunchless abs workout has been keeping me busy and not feeling the need. But I can't stand for them to go to waste - and really everyone is so nice there - so I'd better get my butt in gear and go take a class this week.
