Bender Ball and Slimming Down

The Bender Ball is a great way of slimming down, and it’s easy too since with around just 5 minutes a day, you can begin to see results relatively quickly. But some people are nonetheless frustrated that they are working really hard on their workouts and diets but nothing is happening. In a case like this, it is worth looking into the possible reasons why you are not losing weight. In this blog with a slideshow, seven reasons are suggested: http://www.fitsugar.com/home?page=1#post_8622093

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.

Summer Incentive

It's always good to have an incentive in front of you, and I've made my most recent incentive my summer trip. We are hoping to go to Hawaii this summer for a great vacation. So, I've put a great picture on the refrigerator of the sunset in Hawaii to inspire me. That way, every time that I go to the refrigerator, I remember that I'm trying to eat well to look great for Hawaii.

I also have a picture on the front door so that I keep myself inspired for exercise. When I sit in my living room doing my crunchless abs with my Bender Ball, I can look at the picture and keep my focus on the prize. It also helps to push me out the door so I'm more willing to go walking or running with this goal in mind.

Certainly, exercise is important every day - and not just for some trip or goal that we have. But, if you can think of something inspirational to keep you moving, all the better!

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.

Spring Has Sprung

Easter always signals the beginning of Spring, and I love when it arrives. The big sign of Spring for me is when I take down the summer clothes and start to put the winter clothes away. What a fun experience!

This year is even more fun than others, because I'm finding that many of my summer clothes don't fit me! Between the crunchless abs work that I've been doing with my Bender Ball, the walking and the weight lifting, I've really lost some weight this year and changed my shape.

Of course, I've noticed this weight loss, but I don't think I realized just how significant it was until I took out last year's clothes. What a great surprise and a great way to start the summer season off right!

Easter Traditions Help to Stay in Shape

Last month we had St. Patrick’s Day to worry about, and now we have Easter. I hope your Easter was as enjoyable and meaningful as mine. Once again however, it is hard to avoid eating too much. When family and friends gather together, it is impossible not to inundate your loved ones with food, especially the really delicious fattening kind.

My family is really great this way. Almost all of us are being careful with what we eat these days. All my family knows how much I am getting out of my Bender Ball, and a few of my cousins have even started regular exercise with their own Bender Balls. So whoever is hosting is careful to make a few of our favorite, traditional foods, and is careful to keep the amount of high-calorie, unnecessary snacks, desserts and side dishes to a minimum.

And after dinner we usually go for a long walk, all of us together, which is a family tradition that I really love.

I hope you had a great, low calorie, meaningful and joyous Easter.
