If you are looking for a slimmer waistline, avoid training your abs with heavy
loads. You should shoot for a weight that you can achieve at least 15
repetitions per set. Between sets, keep your rests to 60 seconds or less. You
can also use your own bodyweight as resistance. Make sure to concentrate on
contracting your abs on each repetition.

Take Control
He came to the professional football league in 1961. His scouting report was
less than exiting, but he was the only one who didn't believe it. That report
said" Too small for quarterback, too slow on his feet and too weak - cannot take
the punishments" . This report was enough to prove that he should take a safe
job outside the rough and tumble world of professional football.
The young man from Georgia, who was the subject of the report was a determined
fellow. He not only made the team that first year, he became the first string
quarterback in a very short time. He developed the reputation of an excellent
scrambler and thrower. As a matter of fact, Fran Tarkenton not only lasted
longer in the NFL than any other quarterback, he passed for more yards than any
quarterback in the history of the game.
Don't give up on yourself even if you get a bad scouting report. After all you
are the one who will determine what you will do with your ability.

Aqua yoga for labor
Yoga is a centuries’ old practice that promotes balance,
energy, deep breathing and relaxation. The therapeutic
and buoyant effect of water is combined with energizing
and harmonizing effects of yoga provide the optimum
workout for you and your baby.
Aqua Yoga begins with yoga poses and swimming techniques
for pregnancy designed to open the pelvis, deep
breathing and ease aches and pains. If you aim to have a
water birth, Aqua Yoga suggests exercises to help reduce
the pain of labor, to ease the birth and open your
pelvis in preparation for delivery.
When you labor in water, you escape to a peaceful
protected world where you can be at one with the rhythm
of the contractions and your breathing. The water
massages, supports and envelops you in a way that is far
removed from being watched in a labor ward. It gives you
total privacy and comfort, in your own world with your
baby.
Experience gathered from thousands of women by midwives
and doctors who attended the first International Water
birth Conference at Wembley, London, in 1995 showed that
the more the body of a laboring woman is immersed in
water, the more effective is the pain relief. Most women
did not go underwater during labor, but it helped some
to concentrate during painful uterine contractions.
