Deep Down Abs With No Crunches

This is a Workout #3 kind of a day. It's such a great feeling, spending just those few minutes in the morning to really get my body woken up and aware of itself. The downward dogs felt really good this morning and you know which exercise I find really interesting? The one where you lie on your bag, legs straight into the air, toes flexed and pointed outword, lifting head and shoulders off the ground. It reaches deep down into the floor of the abs. It's kind of amazing the way it taps muscles that normally don't get very worked.

Hey Clara-I am happy you are feeling and seeing results too by my training methodologies. I recommend you sign up for my Make Healthy A Lifestyle for more great training and weight loss articles and tips. I will be posting some healthy holiday meal makeovers and recipes by my friend, Robyn Goldberg, R.D. and me.

Did you know on studies show on average American gain between 5 to 10 pounds every holiday season?

Fantastic!! Thanks, Linda. I really appreciate your work. I hope folks take your advice to heart about guarding against the Holiday Hangover, as you call it ;). http://lindalarue.blogspot.com/2008/10/avoid-holiday-hangover_22.html
I find Tip #2, about taking a pre-emptive strike against naughty eating at parties, to be so helpful. It really works for me.

Hey Clara-We must be on the same wavelength, as my friend Stacy Small, www.elitetravelinternation.com, and I were just yapping about this in yoga class at Equinox yesterday!

I am posting on my Make Healthy A Lifestyle, http://www.LindaLaRue.com/club.html newsletter a Pumpkin Pie with Pecan Crust recipe that is only 125 Calories per slice. I believe it's about cutting Calories (and costs in this economy)--not taste.

Off to the farmers market then, yoga. Have a lovely Sunday.

Namaste,
