Proper posture is critical to ensure you are working the
correct muscle groups and not putting your body at risk
of injury. If seated, sit up straight. Always keep your
abdominals contracted through the entire set of any
exercise. Pull them up and in toward your spine to help
stabilize your trunk. Keep your shoulders back and chest
lifted up and out during any seated, bent-over or
standing exercise. |

Go beyond
Everything you have ever achieved represents just a fraction of your total
potential. The knowledge you utilize is just a small portion of the knowledge
that's available to you. There is strength in you that has never been used. You
have ideas which have never been expressed, skills which are not anywhere near
being fully utilized.
You have already been very successful in making it this far. Just imagine how
much more you could achieve by delving into your untapped possibilities.
If your expectations are based on what you've already done, you'll have trouble
seeing all those possibilities. So raise your expectations to better match your
incredible potential. Expect more and you'll become more. Base your expectations
on the assumption that everything you have ever done adds up to only five
percent of what you're capable of doing.
Actively pursue that other ninety-five percent. It's there, waiting for you to
believe in it enough to see it and use it. Go beyond the comfortable sameness of
your past into the incredible possibilities which now await you.

Top 10 to a Fabulous Party Plan
The following tips will work for any soiree - a high
school reunion, an office holiday party, or your
favorite niece's Bat Mitzvah. You deserve to look and
feel your best at any special event. And hey, if you're
paying big money for a great outfit, you'll want to
bring your spectacular abs along to the party.
Stop fat talk
"Hey I look fat?" does nothing to make others think your
abs are buff, nor does it help your self confidence.
Turn off the negative tape in your head and tune into a
more positive self-perception. If your girlfriends start
in, change the subject fast so you all don't end up
wallowing in a junk food self-pity party that will dash
your efforts at getting a sexier stomach - not to
mention maintaining your self- esteem.
Sweep your hair into a ponytail
What does your hairdo have to do with sexier abs?
Plenty. The way you style your hair can make you look
longer and leaner. Try an updated ponytail: Gently tease
the crown using a comb, smooth your hair straight back
with your hands (without a part), and secure a high
ponytail at the middle of your head. Gently loosen the
hair at the crown for a fuller look. Try teasing the
tail below the elastic band for a perky ponytail. Or the
curl the ends under with a single hot roller. Be sure to
gently finger and separate the ponytail once it's curled
for a more natural look.
Take an anti-gas tablet
Over-the-counter anti-gas medication helps relieve some
stomach swelling caused by taking in too much air or
eating belly-bloating foods. Follow package directions.
