Exercises for Your Abs

Socks
The right socks can make a difference. Cotton socks retain sweat, which softens the skin and makes it easier to blister. Modern synthetics such as polypropylene or CoolMax are a better choice.
Before You Buy Socks

Social Sabotage
You are out with friends for a meal or snack. You want to eat healthy, but your friends aren't watching their diets. They may even tease or tempt you with their high calorie/high fat choices. Here is where you need to be brave and assertive, and ask for their help in keeping you on track. "Thanks, that looks good, but not now. I am doing well on my new eating plan and I would appreciate your support to stick with it."
How to Get Your Family and Friends' Support

Practice Your Lines
Do you have somebody among your friends or family who is always tempting you to eat more or to skip the exercise? Practice what you will say to them next time. Use assertive "I" statements, not accusatory "You" statements. Talk about your new commitment to fitness and healthy eating, and ask for their support to keep you on track.
