Exercise of the Week

Here is this weeks exercise(s). Many people think that doing hundreds of sit-ups will give them "perfect" abs, but the truth is that unless you have little body fat, then it won't work. You definitely will strengthen your abdominals but you won't see any definition. The best thing to do is to incorporate cardio, and a variety of exercises that will work your whole core. Your core is a term often used to describe not only your abdominals but also your obliques (aka love-handles), and lower back. It's important to have a strong back! Here are a few exercises to try out. Also check out my new article on the core, The "Core" Problem( http://neowide.com/the-core-problem/) There is also a link on the left hand side of the screen.
