Today's Tip: Whiten Your Teeth with a Banana Peel
Don’t toss your banana peel! Use it to whiten your teeth with this great tip: rub the inside of the peel against your teeth for about a minute a day before brushing your teeth. The calcium and vitamin D are absorbed by the enamel, and the slight roughness of the skin helps remove stains from your teeth – making them stronger, healthier and brighter!

Today's Review: Core Solutions
Alison Davis, 2007 **** (4 stars)

This is a 32 minute dvd that has three separate 10 to 11 minute ab/core workouts. Alison leads with 2 background exercisers (Rebecca & Sue Mi) Sue Mi shows the beginner modifications. The set is the TransFirmation set-white brick walls with foggy windows. You will need a set of light dumbbells for this dvd. The dvd is not mix and match so you cant program them all together.

Standing Abs: is first (11 minutes) and as the title suggests is all ab work done standing. This section was really fun as I love standing ab work . It included some twisting, side lunges, and pliet and reach, among other moves.

Functional Core: is 10 minutes and my favorite of the three sections! It is VERY unique from other ab workouts I have. You do a walking plank into a side plank, weighted crunches, weighted V-sits, V- sit while passing the dumbbell through your legs, etc. The two moves I enjoyed the most were: a needle thread while on all fours and an elevator plank-both tough!

Classic Abs: is an 11 minute more traditional ab workout that includes: a pec fly and leg extension, upper & lower crunch combos, some oblique work, a side leg lift sequence, and a backstroke move. This segment though more traditional, still contained some nice unique ab work.

I would rate this as intermediate. I like Alison as a lead and she cues well and has a nice demeanor in all her w/o's IMO.

Check out this Awesome flash drive!!! I want, I want :)
