Keeping a Positive Attitude

I don't know about you, but I find going to the beach quite depressing. It's not easy to stay focused on yourself and your own personal goals when you look around and see so many people who look amazing. I know, for myself, that I look great and that I've been doing my crunchless abs with my Bender Ball and really working on my fitness and my physique.

But, somehow that doesn't always translate to feeling great at the beach. So, the way I see it, I have a few options. I can decide to ban the beach and the pool altogether and have a miserable summer. Not a great option. I can keep to my exercise schedule, continue using my Bender Ball and trying to melt it off, and simply remind myself at the beach about how far I've come; or I can go to the beach and sulk the whole time because I don't look as great as others do.

I vote for the middle choice. And so, I continue venturing out, even if my body isn't as gorgeous, buff or fit as some. I deserve to have just as much fun as other people, and I'm going to give myself that enjoyment! And, I know that my crunchless abs are making a difference and that, if I keep doing them and keep to my routine, I'll see even better results soon enough!

More on T.V. Viewing and Bender Ball

As I mentioned in my last post, I'm a T.V. junkie. I love to watch a good hour or two of T.V. at night to unwind and enjoy time with my wife. I know that this isn't the best use of my time, per se, but it does allow me to relax and to enjoy a bit of an escape. As I mentioned before, however, I've started to use my T.V. time in more creative ways and I'm finding that I am a really good multi-tasker.

Bender Ball Viewing

Since I use the Bender Ball, and it's incredibly compact and non-disruptive, I'm able to get 20-30 minutes of crunchless abs in over the course of the evening. And, doing this while being entertained means that I'm enjoying that time even more - and staying motivated to exercise.

Creativity with Bender Ball

Certainly, this doesn't mean that I am advocating nonstop T.V. viewing - but I am advocating finding creative ways to use your time wisely - and to make sure to get that Bender Ball time in during your day!

T.V. Junkie

I'll admit it. I'm a T.V. junkie. I love to watch a number of television shows, and I don't like to let anything get in my way. I justify it by saying that I work hard all day and that I need the time to unwind at night. While this might be true, I know that it's simply an excuse to be a lazy man.

So, I've decided that, if I'm going to watch t.v., I might was well make use of the time when I do so. I've made an agreement with myself that I'm allowed to watch an hour or two of t.v. at night as long as:

1. I do some crunchless abs with my Bender Ball while I'm watching. If I arrange that I do 10 minutes of crunchless abs at the beginning of each show, and 10 minutes at the end of each show, that's really quite a lot of Bender Ball use!

2. No snacking. The major danger of watching television is snacking. I eat a good dinner at night, and then I've committed to myself that I won't snack while watching t.v.

3. Early to bed. Finally, I have to get into bed at a good hour. Just because I want to watch one more episode, it's not an excuse to be tired the next day.

These three rules have helped me to enjoy my t.v. viewing, while at the same time finding ways to melt it off! Creativity at its best.

Melt It Off Fast with the Bender Ball

Truth be told, I guess I could be accused of being a little impatient. When I work for something, I want to see results and I want to see them fast. That is why I love the Bender Ball so much. I don’t have time at the end of a long day at the office to start exercising and building up a sweat for hours. I want to be able to melt it off pretty much straight away. Well, thanks to the Bender Ball, that is exactly what I am able to do. Without any uncomfortable exercise moves, the Bender Ball has been allowing me to do crunchless abs that give me all the gain without any of the pain. That’s exactly what works for someone like me, and what has been giving me the great results I’ve been seeking since as long as I can remember.

Do Easy Crunchless Abs with the Bender Ball

So if you are looking for the easy way out (and, let’s face it, these days who isn’t?) I would suggest you try to melt it off with the Bender Ball. You only need around 5 minutes a day as well (which for a busy executive like me, also really works). That is good because so many people find that they are trying to melt it off with exhausting and gruesome workouts that take away all their precious leisure or family time. This will no longer be a problem when you start using the Bender Ball.

Exercising Through Sickness

Being sick is no fun. That's for sure. I don't know about you, but when I'm sick, I really don't feel like exercising. What I've found recently, however, is that the exercise that I don't want to do is cardiovascular. I don't feel like going walking, riding the bike, or any of the other activities that I normally do.

What I am willing to do, however, when I'm sick is crunchless abs with my Bender Ball! I've found this to be a great compromise when I'm sick. While I don't get my whole exercise routine in, I'm still able to do something and to keep up a bit of my routine. This enables me to continue with at least part of my routine when I'm not feeling well, which makes it easier to get back into my regular routine when I finally feel better!

Consider this when you are sick - rather than giving up all of your exercise to nurse your cold, perhaps you are still willing to maintain some of your routine and to feel like you're accomplishing at least a bit of your goals.
