It’s summer time once again and hitting the beach is probably one of the most enjoyable and important activity one cannot allow to pass. It’s when people show off their hard-earned sexy bodies through their chosen exercise and diet. But do you ever think how they were able to achieve those perfect curves and really impressive abs? Abs is sexy and that cannot be denied, and how to achieve that washboard abs fast a.k.a six-pack is the question personal trainers are being asked.
Washboard abs actually consists of sections called upper, lower and mid-section. One big misconception however is that people think of working on each of these sections separately. You have to understand that these muscles are not divisible and working on the so-called six pack means working on the sections together.
Together with the work out you are planning on doing comes a good and proper eating habit. The diet you choose is vital so you have to keep in mind that the foods you take contributes to the kind of abs you want to obtain. The more fats you take, the more it is to cover the muscles of your abdomen. So keep in mind that there are two factors that come together in achieving the ideal abs and they are proper diet and appropriate exercise.
While knowing that different sections are not contracted separately when working out, you should consider that there are however different exercises for each of them. Contrasting statements I know, but there are just exercises that focuses on a certain part while still helping the others to contract.
Another important thing to keep in mind is to modify the traditional methods of training that you were used to. This muscle building isn’t about how much exercise you dedicate every time or how much burn you feel, but it is actually about working on as much fibers as possible. Have you ever think what benefits can a stability exercise ball do for you? Well the truth is, it actually decreases your balance making your crunches works faster than doing them on a well-balanced position, like the floor. These exercise balls can also be used in common exercises such as push-ups. Try placing it either under your arms or feet while you do your usual push-ups.
There is however exception in using those exercise balls and that is when you are lifting very heavy weights as you don’t want to decrease your stability at these points.
With these guidelines, I believe you are on the right track in achieving the ideal washboard abs you’ve been wanting for long. 

Freaky Friday – Tuesday Couch Potatoes

Oh, I’m not a big fan of movies, but I want to be! That’s why I joined TCP. LOL. I know I will learn so much from them and from my co-couchers most specially.

So for this week’s theme “School is Fun”, my pick’s Freaky Friday. It’s only a day in high school and a mom was able to see how much different it is from then and now.



Here’s the movie synopsis from tribute.ca:

Dr. Tess Coleman (Curtis) and her 15-year-old daughter, Anna (Lohan), are not getting along. They don’t see eye-to-eye on clothes, hair, music, and certainly not in each other’s taste in men. One evening, their disagreements reach a fever pitch — Anna is incensed that her mother doesn’t support her musical aspirations and Tess, a widow about to remarry, can’t see why Anna won’t give her fiancé (Harmon) a break. Everything changes when two identical Chinese fortune cookies cause a little mystic mayhem. The next morning, their Friday gets freaky when Tess and Anna find themselves inside the other’s bodies. As they literally walk a mile in each other’s shoes, they gain a little newfound respect for the other’s point of view. But with Tess’s wedding coming on Saturday, the two have to find a way to switch back — and fast.

While watching the movie, I’m torn between both being a parent and a daughter. I can’t imagine myself being the mom who doesn’t understand my own daughter because we got that so called “generation gap”. Indeed highschool days and age is fun, but parents have to be understanding of what teenagers are going through. And the same goes with the kids.
