Daily Exercise

[shoegal2183]

I don't know if we can ask this here but i trust ya'll so here it goes..
I enjoy doing situps and crunches.. But i have read it magazines(such as intouch and Us) thats itups dont really do anything and it is bad for your lower back..... is this true? and which one is more beneficial for abs? for tightening the tummy?
thankyou

p.s. 20min. walk to school today..and abs later depending on the response i get lol

Maybe somebody else has more info on this...but I think if you do them properly they are beneficial. I have heard they are good for you and bad for you (just like eggs right?), but have been going to the Abs class at my gym and we do a lot of crunches.



As for my workout today- lap swimming again

I took my very first pilates class today!! I'm still not quite sure what to think of it! I'm so used to sweating when I'm working out, and I hardy sweat-ed today...

^^^^ Stick at the Pilates after a while you will feel great. Pilates is more for toning and posture so you won't really sweat

Did an hour and half Ashtanga Yoga today.
