What is enough
You are very capable, but that capability is not enough. You have the opportunity to do great things, and yet opportunity is not enough. You have the desire to make a positive difference, and yet that desire is not enough. You have made great plans, but planning is not enough.
What is enough is to actually step forward and do it. The smallest action has far greater power than the most profound and well thought out intention.
Today is the day to do the things you’re capable of doing. This is your moment to fulfill the best of the opportunities and possibilities that are open to you. Transform your most treasured desires and your well laid plans into magnificent reality. Fill your days with action and you’ll fill your life with richness.
-Ralph Marston

Top 10 Truth About Flat Abs
If you are doing abdominal exercises in the hope of
getting a strong core and a flat stomach, you aren’t
alone. Ab exercises are some of the most popular
exercises for both novice and elite athletes.
However to get a flat belly and defined abs it takes
more than just crunches. You also need to reduce the
layer of body fat covering up your well-defined abs.
There's More To Flat Abs Than Crunches
Crunches can only tone the abs. They cannot get rid
of the fat layer that lies on top of the ab muscles.
And the only way to lose the fat is to do some form
of vigorous aerobic exercise like skipping, jogging,
cycling and so on for no less than 30 minutes 3-4
times a week. These exercises are a must rather than
an option because they help increase the metabolic
rate, causing your body to use up all stored forms
of energy, in short, your fat. Aerobics exercises
target specific areas of body fat, weight training
increases the body's overall metabolic rate, so in a
way it enhances the action of aerobics.
