If you are anything like me, you are always on the lookout for ways to sneak more protein into your diet. Increasing your protein intake is a good way to feel full longer (and thereby decrease excessive eating/snacking and cravings).

Your body is also better at utilizing protein as an energy source which results in decreased “storage” (i.e. fat cells and “problem areas”).

I’m always looking for quick, easy, and delicious ways to consume more protein in my day – and this one is absolutely my favorite go-to.

Today I have teamed up with BodyTech and Vitamin Shoppe to bring you these “Cookies And Cream Protein Balls“. They literally take less than 5 minutes to prepare and provide you with 5 grams of protein per ball.

Trust me – this one will become a standard at your house! …

Now, don’t get me wrong- I am a huge fan of sit ups.

There is a definite reason why the majority of ab exercises out there are compared to sit ups. They are helpful and very beneficial, however, they are limiting.

Sit ups are a great exercise for one very specific group of your abdominal muscles. Needless to say, there are ab exercises that are a lot more efficient and offer a lot more bang for your buck.

“Which ab exercises are the best?”

“I’m working my abs but I’m not seeing any results.”

“I’m doing all these sit-ups and nothing seems to be changing.”

One body area that I get asked about more than any other is the abs. People seem to want to know “How do I tone my abs” and “Why isn’t my workout very effective?”

I would say the biggest mistake that people make when it’s “ab day” is not adding enough variety to your exercises to make it effective.

Think about it – most of the ab exercises we do are essentially the same motion working the same muscles.

The amazing thing about our abs is how dynamic they are. They’re designed to move our trunk three-dimensionally and unless you’re challenging these muscles in three dimensions you’re really missing out on what could be incredible gains in strength and definition.

That’s why today I wanted to share with you three ab exercises that are a waste of your time and give you some different alternatives to do instead!…
