Cranberries are Awesome

In Today's Yahoo Health News, the benefits of cranberries are touted.  Not only are they rich in antioxidants, they also help fight urinary infections, cholesterol and the formation of plaque on teeth.  The National Institutes of Health is funding research on the cranberry's effects on heart disease, yeast infections and other conditions, and other researchers are investigating its potential against cancer, stroke and viral infections.

Have cranberries today with you Thanksgiving meal.  It's good for you!

Six Pack Abs

I just read a really interesting article in the BodyTrends newsletter about how to maximize your abdominal workout.  Personally, I love Pilates for my ab building, but I also workout at a gym and do some ab work there.

The article, Maximize Your Abdominal Workout, talked about a study that found when you do curls using a fitness ball vs. curls on a flat surface, you get a better workout on your abs and obliques.  Coincidentally, I received a package today with a fitness ball, book and video so I can start doing some of these workouts at home.

What's your favorite ab workout?
