Fitness Alternatives
Thursday, June 14, 2007
Suzy is on a fitness tear this summer... in search of elusive bikini abs. Here are her two latest acquisitions:
We've heard that jumping rope is an efficient fat-burner. Without room to jump, it's too often dismissed as a cardio alternative.
Check out Jumpsnap. The rope-less jump rope gives you the intensity and benefits of rope-jumping by using two handles and a computer chip that tracks your time and calories burned. ($49.95 on Amazon.com)
If you don't have the time or money to take Pilates classes, try the Pilates Ring to do concentrated core exercises that really stress your middle. There are a number of manufacturers but make sure you buy one that offers an instructional DVD. Do a hundred simple crunches with the "Magic Circle" and you'll feel new abs may become reality.
