~Tools of the Trade~

The idea of ~Tools of the Trade~ was intended to share websites that were helpful with whatever my moments pursuit of happiness may be at the time. Today, I'm going to challenge myself (and you) to ~Whittle Your Middle~

My challenges for the 2011 year are to run a half marathon and participate in two triathlons. My goal is to blog about the journey and share my training plans. But first I want to dedicate my training to core work for one month before my running training begins. My poor abdominals may never be the same after an abdominal surgery and two C-sections in three years but I'm going to make the commitment to give them some attention!

There are some amazing exercises out there and I am committing to doing 6-10 minutes of core exercises 5 days a week. I will be researching and documenting my findings and workouts.

I will continue with my yoga, cardio and strength training.

There are tons of superfoods out there that promise to specifically reduce the ole belly bulge so I promise to research and increase those foods in my eating plan.

I will continue with my yoga, cardio and strength training.

So stay tuned...and get ready to turn on your abs and ~Whittle Your Middle~ with me!
