No, that is not even considered a workout.

Question by lolabear: Does the plank exercise really work as far as toning your abs?
I’ve been doing the plank exercise after I’ve already worked my abs in various ways and I can really feel it while I’m only holding it for 30 seconds or so. Is it really toning my abs, or not? What are the benefits of doing this exercise?

Let me give you some food and mini work out tips you can start.

I’m a Vegetarian and I’m super thin, and I always have a lot of protein, and I hate tofu loll …and I have tons of snacks to choose from

I bareeeely work out ….and I’ve never had a belly, big thighs, or big butt SO Listen k? I’m pretty much perfect-its not cocky,i just am…

Walk Walk Walk! and walk some more…its actually better than running….running makes your ankles weak over time. Do you want that when your older? I don’t think so. I actually do the bike, which is amazing…the faster you petal the more calories you burn….the belly is actually burning fat b/c you are sweating. Not a lot of ppl. know that walking on treadmill/bike/or walking outside burns fat around the mid section…but it is so true. ALSO IMPORTANT: Do not use incline k? b/c your thighs will get bigger…try little to no resistance!! Walking also will burn the extra surrounding fat that is covering muscles (underneath it)…so definitely do a lot of carido. Try sit ups too like 2 to 3 times a week to make abs show quicker!

Buy a treatmill or bike-even cheap treadmills and bikes work.

Being a vegetarian or even one that eats red meat or dairy like ONCE IN AWHILE is the best to be one because you are healthy as a horse and you won’t have that excess fat and food inside your intestines that most red meats do.

I’m not trying to promote becoming a vegetarian, but here me out ok?

Here’s what I eat and my protein is perfect and I’m super healthy and have tons of snacks to choose from

Having a high protein diet is good in loosing fat, and keeping lean muscles, because usually the more protein is in a food-the less Total fat and calories from fat!

I eat lots of beans (Lima, Soy, red kidney, black, navy- RAW; never in can(but that is just my choice-if you wanted canned its NOOOO PROBLEM)

Try Quinoa too, you can find it in your grain, beans, or nut aisles

I also eat lots of salad with tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, carrots-yum yum!

The entire kosher aisle has manyyyy products to munch on! Geez!

Also, Some Kashi products are great to snack on!-especially the ones marked with high protein or protein added

Try Edamame too!- tons of protein and tastes delicious! (Veggie section even though it’s a bean loll)-get the non gmo kind.

Dairy (if you eat it): cheese-I’d suggest you go for this yogurt called “Fage 0″ or “Chobani” yogurt (it has about 15 grams of protein in it I believe)… Ummm lets see, what else? All Goat products are good too and high in protein.

ALL vegetables are fun and easy to cook-I like broccoli, asparagus, yams, pumpkin, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower-and you can do whatever you want with it (fry, boil, steam, baked…etc.)

Have you ever heard of Matzo’s? (Kosher Aisle) they are crackers that have 4 grams of fat per serving (1) and only has 21 grams to 27 grams of Carbs in it depending on which version you get. BUT make sure you get the 100% whole wheat ones ya know?-just to be the healthiest. There is also absolutely no sugar in it either (sugar if not burned turns into fat btw)…..
The calories range from like 98 to 150 calories too! Oh, did I mention they are extremely delicious!?

Mott’s applesauce, no added sugar is one of my favorite things to eat too!
You can find organic applesauce too which provide different flavors without added sugar
All “no added sugar” products are phenomenal

NOTE: BEEF-honestly it is very bad for you and does not leave your intestine for months and months (look it up on internet…it’s the worse food for you in the world I believe, even worse than junk food-unless used in moderation and VERY VERY small portions)

Brown rice or even white rice is great too-I love Uncle Bens’ version
Miso soups are fantastic as well as any other soups (especially the ones with very little sodium)

Fruit is ALWAYS a great snack at night!

Ok, that’s all I can think about now off the top of my head, if you need to know anymore then just message me k?

Take care

(I know I went on a rampage here, but I honestly hope this helps!)

I hate to seem like I’m spamming, and hate to seem cranky about it, but people refuse to understand this.
I’m sorry, I’m no medical professional, but I know the true secret to lose weight and keep it off. It has been around for thousands of years, when mankind existed before the industrial revolution. You want to know the secret? It’s the easiest remedy, requires no guesswork, and can take awhile, but is worth the benefits? Suspense gotcha yet?

You really want to know?

Promise you won’t get mad.
Did you promise?

OK, the real true way the body was created, to maintain your weight true to your height and build is to….

1) Eat as much unprocessed organic foods as possible. Lay off the prepackaged, starchy, homogenised, refined foods. Fresh fruit, fresh veggies, whole grains, and get as much protein from vegetation. If you must eat meat, eat organic. Or buy from kosher markets. Drink bottled spring water. Fiji water is the best. It might seem more expensive at first, but think of it this way. Would you rather pay into aggravating medical bills stemming from your unhealthy lifestyle, or spend a little more serving you and you family healthy foods your bodies intended to have since the creation of mankind?
Think about it. There wasn’t a whole lot of overweight couch potato settlers. They worked for what they had. Physical labor, for meagre earnings, meagre food rationed. yet, they survived. They were their average weight. There was not diabetes, or any strange diseases we see today. Don’t believe me? Google it. Which brings me to number 2…

2) Exercise as much as you can. Even if it means short simple walks daily at first. Before all the modernisation of the world we walked, lifted, stooped, knelt, and occasionally ran. The ratio to exercise is burn off at least over half of what you consumed the previous day. Normal brain functions, stress, everyday activities besides exercise burns off the rest, and doesn’t deposit as fat.

If you aren’t healthy enough for physical activities, I urge you to cut out the prepackaged foods, and corn syrup laden drinks, and eat more natural foods. I guarantee you will lose weight from just doing that, than relying on herbal teas or nutrition supplements you found that say “AS SEEN ON TV”

Be well
