It's Tuesday which means we give you a big w00t! for making any small changes or actions that move you a step closer to your health goals. We're all about "anything is better than zero" here. Hey, even giving someone a simple hug can pay huge dividends for both you and the other person.
Today, let me introduce you to the Clam Crunch. I learned this ab exercise from Jackie Warner's current Ab workout in Comcast's On Demand Exercise channel. I've been taking advantage more of Comcast's On Demand Fit Channel since it's included in my cable bill.
I love this crunch because it works the lower abs more and it's fun, at least to me it is as doing abs is one of those things where I get, "Do I gotta?" I know. But hey, we all have certain body parts that we don't care to workout as much. I do love doing leg stuff though.
During the day, since I work mostly at home, I've taken 5 minute breaks to do some kind of moving around or exercise to get the blood pumping. Lately, I've been doing these clam crunches. As well, TV commercial breaks are a good time to crunch out 30-50+. In the Comcast On Demand video of the full workout, Jackie also shows versions of the clam crunch for beginners and advanced.
The great thing about ab exercises is that you can do them almost anywhere, and even spending just 5 minutes working that core of yours can reap some good benefits. So, let's get crunchy!
