Fit Snob: Strike a pose- Vogue!

Strike A Pose- VOGUE!

How much does Vogue magazine weigh?  It's got to be at least 10 pounds.  I know it takes me about two hours to go through and that time could be used to burn a few calories.  What a great resistance to do some crunches with.  Grab your Vogue, hit the floor, read the latest fashion trends, and get nice tight abs while you're at it.  Remember these tips while crunching.

• Lay on your back with your knees up and feet flat on the floor.  To make it more intense, raise your legs straight up in the air, but make sure this doesn't bother your back.
• Put one hand behind your head and the other holding the magazine straight out in front of you.  Using this resistance in this position, you're changing your center of gravity and putting more demand on your abdominals.
• Crunch up focusing on tightening your abdominals and reaching the magazine towards your knees or feet (if legs are straight in the air).  Read a few lines (holding the crunch) and then come down very slowly counting to five before reaching the floor again and don't release those abdominals.  Keep them tight even when you hit the floor.
• Repeat 15-30 times or whatever you can do.
