Everyone’s seen the swiss ball and probably have used one to some degree. While there are many swiss balls on the market, they are not all created equal. I recommend using a ball such as the Sissel Swiss Ball Pro. It is a thicker and more sturdy ball, ideal for pretty much all exercises that can be performed with it. The Swiss Ball Pro provides great support and allows you to safely perform dumbbell exercises with it.
Steer clear of the flimsy, light-weight ball. They usually provide poor support for bodyweight, and especially dumbbell, exercises.
I must admit, I’m a bit of a swiss ball “snob.” I do not like or appreciate flimsy, poorly constructed balls. While the Sissel Swiss Ball Pro is a little more expensive, it is well worth the price.
You can get your Sissel Swiss Ball Pro here.

Thighs (particularly inner/outer) are an area women like to concentrate their efforts. However, this is usually accomplished by spending way too much time on the adductor/abductor machine. To make better use of your time and provide a better overall stimulus to the thighs, give the Multi-Directional Lunge a try!
Check out the video below to see how to perform the Multi-Directional Lunge!

While reduced carbohydrate intake may lead to weight loss, we must not forget that carbs are necessary for normal functioning of the body. The key is to eliminate “bad” carbs from the diet. To help with this, simply consume your carbs from fruits and vegetables and eliminate processed foods.

Many of those who struggle with weight loss do so because they have a hard time controlling their caloric intake. To help with this, try drinking 8-12 ounces of water before each meal. This provides two benefits.
1) Helps fill your stomach so you consume less food
2) Helps increase your water intake which is vital for anyone wanting to lose weight
Give this little tip a try over the next week or two and see how it works for you!
