The stomach
muscles are often some of the weakest in a woman's body
and they tend to make up for this fact up letting the
back take the strain. Our back can end up hunched, tense
and overarched as a result- doing us a double
disservice, as this results not only in bad posture but
can lead to permanent injury, too. When you strengthen
the stomach muscles you take pressure off the back and
get a flat tummy in the process. Check out this week's

To perform Shoulder rotation, sit cross-legged & raise your shoulders towards
your ears. Pull the shoulders back so that the chest is expanded. This will help
you to strengthen your upper back muscle called trapezius. This will also help
you to relieve pain in the upper back and the neck region. This will help to
prevent rounded shoulders and humped back. Also rotate your shoulders in
circular motions. The exercise also provides support and uplift to the breasts,
maintaining their form in the long run. |

"My will
shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall
be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can
clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the
maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I
hold the key to my destiny."

Grilled Halibut with Tomato-Herb Sauce

1 lb. halibut fillet
-
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
-
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
-
1 tsp. dried crushed rosemary
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil 2 Tbsp. finely chopped scallions

1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
-
1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp. grated orange rind
-
A pinch of cayenne pepper, if desired

Fresh rosemary for garnish, if desired
Direction:
-
Place the halibut in a large, shallow dish. In a small bowl, mix together
the lemon juice, oil and rosemary for the marinade. Season it with salt and
pepper to taste. Pour the marinade over the fish, turning to coat both
sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
(Marinating gives great flavor but also helps protect animal protein from
forming cancer-causing substances on the grill.)
-
Drain the fish and discard the marinade. Place the fish on a greased grill 4
inches from the heat source and cook, turning once, until opaque throughout,
about 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
-
While the fish is cooking you can prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, mix
together the tomatoes, basil, scallions, vinegar, 1 tsp. of oil, orange rind
and a pinch of cayenne pepper, if desired. Whisk until it is well blended.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Heat the sauce on low heat until warm. Place the grilled fish on a large
serving platter. Garnish with some chopped fresh rosemary, if desired, and
spoon the sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

Tip: If your stomach muscles to bulge or quiver at any
time during these exercises, you are attempting
something that is as yet beyond them- so stop! When you
are lying on your back, the lower your legs are towards
the floor, the more strain you will be putting on the
stomach; lift them higher and the exercise will
instantly become easier. When your are doing these
exercise- and indeed all the time- try to think of the
stomach muscles providing a natural girdle, keeping the
body in a lifted well held posture.
