Health and Diet
For many of us, it's natural to think about our diets with an all or nothing attitude. But giving in to temptation on occasion does not mean throwing in the towel! Avoid a perfectionist mindset and cut yourself some slack. Give yourself credit for eating well, exercising, and putting forth effort in reaching your personal goals.

Fitness
Most studies have found that basic exercises like lying on the floor and alternating elbow to knee and basic crunches are more effective than any of the abdominal infomercial equipment. If you prefer to use a gadget because that forces you to exercise then choose a fitball. You can also get a total body toning workout on the fitball which is available through the eDiets.com store.
