I need a good ab workout video. Any ideas?
I am currently alternating every other day between Jillian Michael's "Trouble Zones" and "TurboFire Greatest HIITS". However-- I want a video that is all abs. I am getting small everywhere else and toning everywhere else, but I need my abs to be tighter. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I don't anyone should eat this...
Canned whole chicken. BLECK! The Sweet Sue trademark is by Bumble Bee Foods; (I guess they thought, "canned tuna, why not canned chicken?").

I need to drink more water-- help!
When I was pregnant with my daughter, I had an aversion to water. I would drink it plain and it made me queasy. Well...here I am almost a year since her birth, and I still sometimes get that feeling. I tried drinking VitaminWater Zero to have something with flavor, but I still don't always finish a full bottle. How do you…

Music that gets you motivated!
What music do you listen to most when you workout? My favs: Deadmau5 and Daft Punk. I also love Beastie Boys.

Question on sodium intake and calories
Here is the silly question for the day: Let's say you consume a meal high in sodium (ie: Chipotle), but you are still under your calorie intake for the day. Will that high sodium meal make you gain weight, or does it not matter since you are under your allowed calories? TIA!

A little motivation gift from my kids
I got this beautiful necklace yesterday from my kids. It has each of their birthstones (diamond for April for my son, peridot for August for my daughter), and their names engraved. This necklace reminded me that my body changed for a good reason...to have my beautiful babies! And--- even though I have a little fat around…

Another way to get fitness in: Abs & TV
My cousin has really nice abs, and I could not figure out how because she barely works out. Well-- I found out as she watches her tv shows at night (usually an hour to 2 hrs of tv), she lays back on her exercise ball or on her mat and and does abs! Not the entire 2 hrs, but she said she usually does it during the…

How can you determine calories burned?
How can you determine calories burned on an exercise video that is half cardio/half weight training? I do Jillian Michael's video "Trouble Zones", and keyed in 45 min of cardio, but that probably isn't accurate given some of it is weight training. How do I figure this out? TIA!

Let's discuss late-night snacking
My biggest issue is late night snacking. We eat dinner early-- usually 4:45pm or 5pm, and then I do my workout around 8pm, and after 8pm I am STARVING. I don't want my 90 calorie snacks...I usually crave something more savory (pizza, sandwiches, etc). So my question is-- what do you normally do about late-night snacking?…

Jillian Michael's "Trouble Zones"?
I have been doing this video for about a month and a half, and it's REALLY good. Anyone else try it and get good results or thinking about trying it? It's a 45 minute video broken down into 6 circuits. It focuses on all the "trouble zones" us ladies have: saddlebags, muffin tops, back fat, etc.
