So, you’ve all seen my recent Tweets and Facebook updates about the DietBet I’m hosting, right?
Well guess what? It starts THIS SUNDAY! Sometime today or tomorrow, participants will receive a prompt to photograph and weigh themselves (don’t worry, photos and starting weights will be seen only by DietBet’s programmers 
) and to submit the info directly to DietBet.
If you’re interested in dropping a few pounds, having a few laughs and winning a few dollars, now’s the time to commit! Still on the fence? What if I were to dangle the carrot of a hand knit pair of socks in front of you?
Go on, click the link and ante up –>>>> Fitknitchick’s DietBet; today’s #FatblasterFriday workout will be here waiting for you when you come back!
Today we’re doing tummy work. Six exercises targeting that soft spot around your middle (the place where all the shortbread cookies are hiding). Get out your timer and set if for 6 rounds of 1 minute each. Move from one exercise to the other without a break. Rest at the end of the circuit, re-set your timer and go again.
Next week’s #FatblasterFriday workout will be an all new, real time, full body workout! Guaranteed to help you shed those pounds and win your DietBet!

Great core workout! Just in time because I’m a little burnt out on P90X Ab Ripper. Love it but need a change
Reverse crunches? Any tips on how to do these effectively? It’s difficult to target the lower abdominals.

Jill, I like to use a bench for them. I reach over my head and grab hold of the edge of the bench to stabilize my upper body. Extend legs up and over hips, with only a slight bend to the knees, flex feet hard and think about pushing the ceiling away from you with the soles of your feet. No swinging legs back and forth (that’s hip flexors, not abs). Help?
Thanks Tamara. I’ll try it!

Me too! Do you start on your non-dominant side Alexandra? I find that if I don’t, that weaker left shoulder has a hard time finishing strong…
I’m so obsessive that I alternate which side I start on, so that I’ll be symmetrical.

I knew it! You know that asymmetry is okay in one body part as long as another balances it out? Evolutionary biologists study something called ‘fluctuating asymmetry’; it’s related to how attractive we are to the opposite sex…
I knew about the asymmetry and balance, but hadn’t heard of fluctuating asymmetry. Sounds intriguing.

Thanks Jody! I’m late to the party today too. Just got back from Seattle and booting up the computer
What was going on in Seattle? Vacation??? I am always late to the game!
Crap – If I needed to lose weight, I would so join to win those socks! Yes, I need the money desperately but those socks handmade from you – very cool!

Finally came to check on your Friday workout! I will be doing this core workout today, thanks so much, Tamara. You always manage to keep things interesting and I do love standing ab work.
Elle recently posted..My Paleo Diary… #Whole30 Days 1 – 5
Thanks Elle! Sometimes standing ab work is a good transition between cardio and floor work. Bringing your heart rate down without standing around!
