The problem: our schedules are the same &lsquo;ole stressful, time consuming routine that allows us little time for our newly found urge for exercise. Is that about right? That said, many of you have emailed me looking for answers as to how to fix this. So, how can you easily fit exercise into your work day? It&rsquo;s much simpler than you may think. In this week&rsquo;s episode, I demonstrate exercises you can do without stepping outside your office or cubical. Even better &mdash; you don&rsquo;t necessarily need equipment, either! My video shows you creative ways to use your office chair&hellip; for exercise that is (get your mind out of the gutter!). I also demonstrate movements using objects that are most-likely right on or inside your desk! So, grab your stapler and water bottle and let&rsquo;s get to work!<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/" >bridesmadefit</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/body">body</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/didonato">didonato</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/exercise">exercise</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/fit">fit</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/fitness">fitness</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/full">full</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/jennifer">jennifer</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/job">job</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/made">made</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/mail">mail</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/office">office</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/tv">tv</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/video">video</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/viewer">viewer</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/work">work</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/workout">workout</a></p> Wed, 07 Jan 2009 06:59:02 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/38/ body didonato exercise fit fitness full jennifer job made mail office tv video viewer work workout bridesmadefit The Office Workout - Ep 30 - Made Fit TV http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/37/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/37/" title="Brides Made Fit introduces Made Fit TV!" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_81282d87_v3.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Brides Made Fit introduces Made Fit TV!" border="0" /></a></p> Hi Everyone!

Not only does January 1st bring a new year, it is accompanied by the urge for people to get in shape. But jumping in too quickly into a fitness program that you haven't done in ages may do more harm than good. Starting out slow is a guaranteed way to help you pick up the pace through the next few months. A good way to ease into your fitness program is to learn how to warm up properly and stretch. There are several different ways of stretching reserved for different activities and movements. One of which is static stretching. Static stretching is most common where you hold a position for a period of time to relax and elongate the muscles. The reason this is good for the muscles is because it helps keeps muscle fibers elastic and keeps the blood flowing to prevent tears, strains and injuries. It's important to note that before you perform this type of stretch, you must warm up. Stretching stiff, cold muscles is like trying to stretch a rubber band that was left in the refrigerator -- it snaps. Ouch! If you are doing cardiovascular exercise, walk at a brisk pace for five minutes and then stretch before getting back on the treadmill for your run. If you're wanting to stretch a muscle that has been stiff from weight-lifting, always stretch it AFTER your workout. Studies show stretching before weight-lifting may inhibit muscle contraction performance because the muscle has been elongated. Make sense? To see some good stretches to incorporate into your routine, check out this weeks podcast. The notes below will also help you follow along. Seated Hamstring (Leg) Stretch: Sit with one leg extending in front on you and the other leg tucked close to your torso. Lean your chest forward while keeping your leg straight. You should feel the stretch behind your straight leg. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and repeat on other leg.

From now until January 1st you will most likely be eating three times the calories your body burns in just one day. That said, we should probably cut corners where we can -- and I'm not talking about cakes! Good habits to live by during this "season of splurging" is to avoid drinking your calories, cutting back on portions, and not going back for seconds. Notice how I'm not telling you to avoid the sweets? Cutting it out cold turkey -- especially during the Holidays -- may prompt you to completely lose your mind from sugar-deprivation, steal the entire pumpkin pie, and down it in two minutes while hiding out in the hall closet! So instead of doing away with the sweet-stuff, watch this week's podcast and try whipping together this healthy dessert recipe that's both tasty and satisfying. If you love peanut butter, this one's for you! Peanut Butter Protein Balls Ingredients: 1 cup plain instant oats 1 cup honey 1 cup natural peanut butter (drained) 1 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder 1.) With peanut butter still in the jar, drain the oil off of the top 2.) Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl with a spatula 3.) Wash your hands and continue mixing the ingredients until there are no dry spots 4.) Roll up balls of the mixture about the size of a half-dollar and place them on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper 5.) Cover with wax paper or parchment paper and refrigerate Optional: You may also melt down two cups of semi-sweet chocolate morsels and dip one side of each ball in it before refrigerating Servings: approx. 24 balls One serving, plain= 103 calories 3.5g fat 11.5g carbs 7.5g protein 6g sugar One serving w/chocolate= 138 calories 5.5g fat 17g carbs 7.5g protein 10g sugar<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/" >bridesmadefit</a></p> Wed, 24 Dec 2008 07:00:06 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/34/ bridesmadefit Recipe: Healthy Peanut Butter Balls - Ep28 - Brides Made Fit http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/33/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/33/" title="New Ways to Use Your Ab Roller - Ep 27 - Brides Made Fit" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_5659ec8c_v2.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="New Ways to Use Your Ab Roller - Ep 27 - Brides Made Fit" border="0" /></a></p> Tired of your Ab Roller taking up space? Tired of trying to sell your Ab Roller? Tired of looking for your Ab Roller? Tired of being tired of looking for your... Alright! I know, you get it! I just thought I'd slam you one more time with some of that infomercial garbage -- because that's where you got your Ab Roller through, right? Well, if you think it's just an out-dated piece of metal that used to give you the fantasy of having your own "six-pack" someday think again! There are many ways to use your Ab Roller to exercise other muscle groups besides your core... and I'm going to show you! Now, pull that baby out of the closet. First of all, you should never use your Ab Roller other than what's intended of it. But we're going to make an exception on that (wink, wink). I came up with some simple moves you can do by incorporating your Ab Roller. Check out this week's podcast for the step-by-step instructions on how to perform new movements with an Ab Roller. They include incline push ups, tricep dips, elevated split squats, and inverted back rows. Just make sure you follow along carefully so you don't get hurt!<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/" >bridesmadefit</a></p> Wed, 17 Dec 2008 05:10:04 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/33/ bridesmadefit New Ways to Use Your Ab Roller - Ep 27 - Brides Made Fit http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/32/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/32/" title="The Really, Really Good Leg Workout - Ep26 - Brides Made Fit" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_b1dd0323_v2.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="The Really, Really Good Leg Workout - Ep26 - Brides Made Fit" border="0" /></a></p> So, after showing you The Really, Really Good Arm Workout two months ago, I figured that you'd want to administer the same amount of awesome-ness to other muscle groups, right? So, I'm making it a series and continuing with this week's podcast devoted to legs. For most of us, our legs are what we depend on to get us around most of the day (unless you have a really helpful assistant willing to carry you to wherever you need to go. We can dream...) That said, I still can't quite understand why people -- guys and girls -- feel the need to forget about strength-training them! Sure, you say that you run or rock-climb or walk three miles a day. But the only way to keep your legs injury-proof, strong, and toned is to condition the specific muscles that all work together that allow you to do your running, rock-climbing, and walking. In this week's Brides Made Fit podcast, I show you three compound leg movements that are sure to deliver the results you want (as long as you also keep up with your cardio and lay off the junk food -- I always have to say it!) These movements are great for beginners all the way to the advanced. The plie squat to calf raise activates the hamstrings, quadriceps, hips, glutes, and calves. Isolating the glutes and quadriceps to the point where you feel the burn is the alternating reverse lunge to squat. Pliometrics (jumping) is another unique way to challenge the muscles, and I show you through jump squats. All of these movements can be made more challenging by adding dumbbells or barbells.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/" >bridesmadefit</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/advice">advice</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/didonato">didonato</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/good">good</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/jenny">jenny</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/jump">jump</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/leg">leg</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/plie">plie</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/really">really</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/squat">squat</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/tips">tips</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/video">video</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/workout">workout</a></p> Wed, 10 Dec 2008 04:29:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/32/ advice didonato good jenny jump leg plie really squat tips video workout bridesmadefit The Really, Really Good Leg Workout - Ep26 - Brides Made Fit http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/31/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/31/" title="Tips For Healthier Grocery Shopping -Ep 25 - Brides Made Fit" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_534af034_v1.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Tips For Healthier Grocery Shopping -Ep 25 - Brides Made Fit" border="0" /></a></p> This Weeks Referenced Links www.askohdoctah.com www.poledancefactory.com I may preach and live the healthy and fit lifestyle -- but that doesn't mean that it's so easy for me all the time. I'm just like you; I can't get in all of my fruits and vegetables every day. I can't stay away from non-whole grain carbohydrates all the time. And I sometimes can't eat just one portion. Now, these are innocent humanly flaws. But if they become a constant habit, then I may be headed down a slippery slope of malnutrition and love handles! The trick that keeps me level with my overall health and fitness is that I try to control the situation with options that are best for me and my lifestyle. Because nutrition accounts for 75%-80% of the results we see from exercise, starting with your shopping cart is the best way to gain control of eating healthy, without really feeling like you are. Another important variable is understanding and following the serving sizes and nutrition facts on the food labels. Only you can control what you put inside your body -- and how much. Check out this week's video for some simple and easy ways to clean up your grocery list and nutrition habits while staying within your comfort zone.

Read these words: you CAN eat carbs!! Complex or simple carbs in minimal portions.

Muscle gain will be minimal because you're training in higher heart rates, which tends to burn muscle slightly over time. But it's a great intense cardiovascular workout to throw into your program for a change. See this week's Brides Made Fit podcast for a killer circuit. I show you four movements that you're going to repeat five times each, with little rest:<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/" >bridesmadefit</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/advice">advice</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/bpm">bpm</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/cardio">cardio</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/exercise">exercise</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/female">female</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/fitness">fitness</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/heart">heart</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/home">home</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/how">how</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/lifting">lifting</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/loss">loss</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/muscle">muscle</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/tips">tips</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/to">to</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/weight">weight</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/workout">workout</a></p> Wed, 29 Oct 2008 10:46:05 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/25/ advice bpm cardio exercise female fitness heart home how lifting loss muscle tips to weight workout bridesmadefit Quick & Intense Home Cardio - Ep 20 - Brides Made Fit http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/24/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/24/" title="Jenny's Healthy Recipes: Protein Pancakes - Episode 19" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_d3c9c320_v1.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Jenny's Healthy Recipes: Protein Pancakes - Episode 19" border="0" /></a></p> Watch this week's podcast to see me demonstrate how to make protein pancakes.

The main muscle groups I target in this video are the arms aka biceps, triceps, and shoulders. Sexy arms in that wedding dress is the goal here, so the key is to use heavier weights and lower repetitions to muscle failure (i.e. until that uncomfortable burn doesn't allow you to do anymore) to challenge the muscles. This is the only way to promote growth and tone up quick.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/" >bridesmadefit</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/biceps">biceps</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/bride">bride</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/cardio">cardio</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/didonato">didonato</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/female">female</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/fit">fit</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/fitness">fitness</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/health">health</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/jennifer">jennifer</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/muscle">muscle</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/strength">strength</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/video">video</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/wedding">wedding</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/women">women</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/workout">workout</a></p> Wed, 08 Oct 2008 07:39:02 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/21/ biceps bride cardio didonato female fit fitness health jennifer muscle strength video wedding women workout bridesmadefit The Really, Really Good Arm Workout -Ep 17- Brides Made Fit http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/20/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/20/" title="Sculpting Sexy Shoulders - Ep 16 - Brides Made Fit " ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_39e0befa.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Sculpting Sexy Shoulders - Ep 16 - Brides Made Fit " border="0" /></a></p> A set of smooth, sexy, toned shoulders can be the perfect accessory to the perfect wedding dress. If you're working hard on toning other parts of your arms, toning shoulders will accentuate all the hard work you've been doing -- so don't cheat yourself! Ladies, I know this muscle group may be easy to forget. That's why I'm getting you started on the right track with a simple shoulder workout to sculpt your arms for your big day and honeymoon! Fella's, I also encourage you to check it out so you and your lady can get firm together! Watch my latest podcast to learn the exercises step-by-step. Here are some notes: 1.) Front shoulder raise to press Hold a set of dumbbells in front of you with your palms facing your body. Raise your arms with your palms facing down until parallel to the floor. While keeping your elbows parallel to the floor, bring the weights to your chest and then press out straight. Slowly lower arms straight to starting position. Keep your core activated for control on the downward movement. Perform 3 sets of 12 - 15 repetitions, resting one minute between sets. 2.) Single arm leaning lateral raise Find a sturdy wall or beam and rest the side of one of your shoulders against it. Position your feet on an angle opposite the wall. Hold a dumbbell in the arm opposite the wall. With your palm down, raise your arm sideways (laterally) until your arm is parallel to the floor. Slowly lower it back down to your hip. Perform 3 sets of 10 - 12 repetitions, resting one minute between sets. 3.) Upright row Hold dumbbells in each hand with your palms facing your body. While maintaining your hands hip-width apart the entire movement, raise your arms vertically to your chest, bending at the elbows and leading with your elbows. Slowly lower your arms to the starting position. Keep your core activated for control on the downward movement. Perform 3 sets of 12 - 15 repetitions, resting one minute between sets. <p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/" >bridesmadefit</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/bride">bride</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/cardio">cardio</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/chicas">chicas</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/didonato">didonato</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/female">female</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/fit">fit</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/fitness">fitness</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/health">health</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/jennifer">jennifer</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/muscle">muscle</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/sculpting">sculpting</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/shoulders">shoulders</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/strength">strength</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/video">video</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/wedding">wedding</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/women">women</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/workout">workout</a></p> Wed, 01 Oct 2008 04:31:04 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/20/ bride cardio chicas didonato female fit fitness health jennifer muscle sculpting shoulders strength video wedding women workout bridesmadefit Sculpting Sexy Shoulders - Ep 16 - Brides Made Fit http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/19/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/19/" title="Booty-Ful Bride Workout - Ep 15 - Brides Made Fit" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_fccfec08.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Booty-Ful Bride Workout - Ep 15 - Brides Made Fit" border="0" /></a></p> Exercise tends to make people place emphasis on being skinny. But as women, we should not expect to shrink our assets to the point where we lose the very accessories that men love most about us, right? I believe that there can be a happy marriage of firmness and curvaceousness. Speaking of marriage... a wedding dress should show off those healthy assets of a woman. Whether you're using your dress to accentuate your body or hide it, don't ignore the power of your own booty! And that goes for your workout program, too. The legs and buttocks are commonly ignored by many because it's assumed these muscle groups get enough exercise through cardio. But if those muscles aren't trained with resistance and weights, they will never look, nor perform, at their fullest God-given potential. So, having trained many a bride, try the following movements in my video for optimum leg and butt firmness and tone. I've also added some workout notes below. Don't forget, though, that the best results are accompanied by a lean nutrition program and consistent cardiovascular training. 1.) Stability Ball Wall Squats- Place the ball between the small of your back and the wall. Stand with feet slightly wider than hip-width apart and with toes further out in front of you. Lower your butt into a 90 degree seated position and stand through the heels. Perform 3 sets of 20 repetitions, resting one minute in between. 2.) Split Squat- Stand in a deep lunge position with one foot slightly in front of you and the other straight out behind you. Your front foot should be flat, and you should be on the ball of your back foot. Lower your body straight down to make a 90 degree angle with the front leg. Then, stand up through your front heel, but while keeping the foot flat. Perform 3 alternating sets of 15 repetitions on each leg, resting one minute in between. 3.)

Working out with a partner not only makes the time go by fast, but it can also help you challenge your workout more than by going at it solo. Having someone there to spot or support you can give you that extra "oomph" you need to get a great workout. Plus, there's someone there to yell at! Even before we were trainers, my sister Nicole and I would always push each other when we exercised together. She motivated me to lift heavier, run longer, and train stronger -- which helped me develop my focus to always push it even if I was on my own. So, find a partner and check out my podcast for a few movements designed for pair training. Nicole and I show you how to perform a pike throw-down for abs, incline military press for toned shoulders, and body-weight back rows for a strong back!<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/" >bridesmadefit</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/Brides">Brides</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/Fit">Fit</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/Fitness">Fitness</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/Fitness">Fitness</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/Made">Made</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/bride">bride</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/bride">bride</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/exercise">exercise</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/exercise">exercise</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/female">female</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/free">free</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/free">free</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/muscle">muscle</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/pair">pair</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/pair">pair</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/strength">strength</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/strength">strength</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/tips">tips</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/tips">tips</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/training">training</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/training">training</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/workout">workout</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/workout">workout</a></p> Wed, 17 Sep 2008 00:05:05 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/17/ Brides Fit Fitness Fitness Made bride bride exercise exercise female free free muscle pair pair strength strength tips tips training training workout workout bridesmadefit Pair Training Workout - Ep 14 - Brides Made Fit http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/16/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/16/" title="Isometric Ab Workout - Ep 13 - Brides Made Fit" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_caf50986.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Isometric Ab Workout - Ep 13 - Brides Made Fit" border="0" /></a></p> Raise your hand if you hate working your abs. Oh, me, me!! Yeah, I admit that devoting time specifically for my core muscles is not my most favorite thing to do, but I get by. How, you ask? I try to mix in different movements to avoid the typical "crunch." In case you still don't really know what your core is, it comprises of basically your entire torso (front and back) under your chest and at your hips. So, we're not just talking your potential "six-pack!" Think of it almost like a girdle of muscles that wraps around you. Keeping this area strong is not so much about looks (although that's a pretty good motivator), but about function, stability, and posture. Having a balanced and conditioned core is importance because it allows your body to function at its fullest potential with a lower risk for injury. So enough of the science behind it. Time for action! In this week's podcast, I demonstrate a few different exercises that you can try right along with me in your own home. They're more challenging than the boring stuff you may be used to, but I guarantee you'll feel and see the difference!<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/" >bridesmadefit</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/Ab">Ab</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/Abs">Abs</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/Brides">Brides</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/DiDonato">DiDonato</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/Fit">Fit</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/Fitness">Fitness</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/Jennifer">Jennifer</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/Made">Made</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/cute">cute</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/girl">girl</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/in">in</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/isometric">isometric</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/lose">lose</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/shape">shape</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/trainer">trainer</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/weight">weight</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/tags/workout">workout</a></p> Wed, 10 Sep 2008 01:04:05 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/bridesmadefit/videos/16/ Ab Abs Brides DiDonato Fit Fitness Jennifer Made cute girl in isometric lose shape trainer weight workout bridesmadefit Isometric Ab Workout - Ep 13 - Brides Made Fit
