What are the latest and greatest health-related products? How can I spice up my ho-hum workout? Are the new nutritious food products and health-focused restaurants worth my money? If you're asking any of these questions you've found the right spot!Note: While I'm a journalist with a Bachelor's degree in kinesiology and am a Certified Health Education Specialist, I don't replace the guidance/counseling that comes from a good chat with your doctor or dietitian.

Healthful Bites
Who doesn’t want a more toned core? I know that I’m always looking for new ways to challenge my abs to shake up my routine and keep ‘em guessing. To fill that bill, today I have a video that builds on one move and makes it progressively more challenging. Keep moving fluidly through the exercises to work your core in a whole new way!
As I say in the video, try to stick with each mini-routine until you can’t complete any more reps—working your muscles to failure every so often surely brings the burn. Plus, you can track how many reps/how long you go this time, and try to beat it the next time you try!
For one last ab attack (in the best way!) add on a one-minute plank hold to each of your workouts this week, and I’ll do the same. Then come back and report how that feels for you! :)
