Is this exercise better than sit-ups?

By -
It's been a while we talked  talked about exercises. Apart from exercise keeping you fit, it is  an important addition to any fat loss program. 

From experience,  most women want a flat stomach,  not only that,  we also want an hour glass figure.  

This exercise I'm about to show you works just great for those purposes. So if you need an exercise for your abs and waist, try Russian twist. 

How to:
Sit with your knees  pulled up towards your tummy,  bend your back slightly backwards so you create a  V and twist from side to side reaching for the floor as you do so.  
You can start with 2 to 3 sets of 10 repetitions and work your way upwards.

This exercise works your  obliques, upper  and lower abs and according to tone-and-tighten.com, doing Russian twist with your feet elevated actually works better than regular sit-ups in toning the stomach muscles.

  • There are several variations of the Russian twist but the one shown in the video is okay for beginners.

Garnishing with carrots  But that's not all about carrots. They are an excellent source of beta carotene and fiber not forgetting Vit A, C,  K, B8, pantothenic acid,  dilate,  potass...

Get rid of acne naturally and fast!

Hi!! It is such a beautiful day and the day is too beautiful to not to love your skin! Your skin is the largest organ of the your body. You like your skin. Your skin likes you. It protects you from the elements that can harm you and it keeps you together (imagine what you'd look like without the skin...  Ewww right?) . So you should do your best to protect it from any kind of damage. Let's paint a typical scenario : One morning you wake up to see acne breakouts on your face (oops!) and you suddenly hate your skin. You turn to harsh chemicals, and expensive scrubs. Isn't that is a very terrible way to reward a friend who’s been there for you since day one? Your epidermis isn’t at fault here-it can’t help that your hormones are causing all that extra sebum to block up your pores, or the fact that bacteria is running rampant. If your skin could talk it would say why are you punishing me for a crime I didn't commit... That’s just a guess anyways. The point is, na...
